The pics from yesterday definitely does look like a carrier under construction.

Compare to Gerald R Ford construction a few years back, what we're seeing at DL seems at an earlier stage compared to this photo

By the, way do we have any recent images of the updated Liaoning-mockup at Wuhan and esp. its updated tower-construction ?? The last image I have is from 6. October 2014.

Liaoning mockup at Wuhan - maybe for 001A - 6.10.14 - 4.jpg

If we can be certain that the "leaked" photo hull has many bulkheads and a broad beam the size of Liaoning, then IMO it is a large navy ships instead of civilian oil tanker or bulk cargo carrier but it could be either an aircraft carrier or the anticipated 40,000 tonnes helicopter carrier.

Either way, this is a new development.

I recognize a torpedo-protection system consisting of three chambers. This is more common in aircraft carriers than in helicopter carriers.
