The whole thing: three decks below the waterline, three decks between engine rooms and hangardeck (Liaoning for example only two), three decks beside the hangar (Liaoning also only two), one deck above the hangar.

I have to correct myself, if the last pictures are not photoshoped: even Liaoning has three decks between engine rooms and hangardeck and three decks beside the hangar - same as current US-carriers. I wonder a little bit, but it seems to be.

Popeye is away he needs to be back to see this hanger section

Two STOBAR carriers for PLAN

Are we going to have a thread for each carrier ?

Let's see some high tempo launch and landings from the Liaoning in some video come on PLAN release it

We need to see full spectrum of operations I mean the carriers it's escorts and at sea operations

Send it to Gulf of Aden and send it for port visits let the world see it now

Then get the second one out, no more secrets surge both and do some air opps

Things are progressing pretty quickly in Dalian as that ship is under construction for just only 8 months.

Not yet or for now. We will keep posting about the program here.

At some point, once the 3rd carrier is clearly identified as not being a STOBAR, we will have a thread for the Liaoning Class STOBAR carriers, and another for the CATOBAR carriers.

But we are some distance away from that necessity.

Until then, we will keep posting PLAN carrier news to this thread.

It is difficult to compare the speed of building flattops in the several countries as not just the chosen construction systems are different but also the needs and budgets are very different. Comparisons with UK and India are especially inappropriate.
