I guess he probably meant 36XJ15 + 14XHelicopter=50 aircraft
Pan Asia had and Shenkus is still around and had been spotted as recent as yesterday but does no post as much. I am waiting in anticipation on how this bet will turn out.My buddy TE stands alone as I believe PanAsian and Shenkus are no more in this forum

For the record Last week I posted a picture of the second Carrier in my profile. I am not happy with it though It's low quality. and still incomplete I am thinking of deleting it for this one.

Is it conventional or nuclear power ?
Can't see EMALS most certainly steam

What are you referring to? The 002 speculative CGI above?
It's obviously conventional, you can see an exhaust.
Obviously you can't tell if its EM or steam catapult, it's impossible to tell for a CGI or even in a picture of a real world carrier if you don't see it launch because EM and steam cats basically look the same externally
yup, I posted it last page but not many people saw it

as I wrote there: "Not too many big mistakes although one issue seems to be the strange location of what I assume to be the weapons elevators, which in their position when they descend seem like they won't go anywhere"

No I was referring to 002
So are you asking about what the current consensus on 002 will be?
In that case: conventional powered, full displacement slightly below 80,000 tons, three catapults but not fully confident if it will be steam or EM catapults yet.
It is said that very initial work on 002 began at Jiangnan Changxing late last year.
