Why do those exhaust pipes look like it is crumpled and damaged?

Interesting observation... The two pipes on both sides have the same wrinkle at the almost identical location, too symmetric for some random damage... As to what it is, no clue!

Visually, I would said the engine room takes up no less than 4 deck deep of hull space.

I expect the engine room of a ship with 40,000 tons to 60,000 tons displacement and speed exceeding 30 knots would occupy twice the space of this replenishment ship. A large room is required.

The machinery spaces of existing modern aircraft carriers are three decks high with their top leveling with the waterline.

The structure of existing modern aircraft carriers fits nicely with this well done drawings on page 391 in this thread: *click on me*. The openings of the hull in Dalian are exact of the sice someone would expect for an aircraft carriers machinery spaces. You can even imagine the wide of the room left and right of the machinery space, the so called torpedo system, in the last photo from Dalian.

It is NOT a commercial ship. Whether it is a carrier, a fast tanker, a ship with a dock well (I don't believe that) or something else ... time will tell.

Actually, if you see pictures from above from that ship (if not from ulyanovsk, then from kuznetzov, its the same shipyard, and just a few years apart) , you wont notice any of the big openings that you see on that dalian shipyard ship.

If the machinery is delivered late, the openings will remain uncovered for longer time. If the machinery is delivered in larger modules than 30 years ago, the openings have an other size than 30 years ago.

Remenber: it is possible to construct with computer assistance, module size is growing.

I went back to check on fzgfzy's 001A thread today. Some guy still question whether this hull is 001A or just a bulk carrier just like here in SDF. He said he will delete his ID if this is not 001A next year. (That's a pretty big bet for a mod and some sort of funny tradition in Chinese military forums when members challenge each other with the loser/wrong side deleting their own ID/forum user name. He say this is a open bet for anyone who wish to bet with him. ( Kind of like put your money where your mouth is.) :p

He said that big hole area is the engine room. And the highest deck you see on the pic is actually one layer/level below the hangar deck. ( You don't see the hanger deck section because this picture is not the newest picture.) So.. the hanger deck modules might already built and ready to be integrated by now(Or already did), we just don't have updated photos of it. :(
