that would be kinda of counterproductive isn't it? I'm no naval architect but I thought the reason you use ski jump is because you don't have catapult and vice versa. Seemed like overkill to me not to mention an extremely difficult mechanical challenge to overcome!

An aircraft leaves a ski ramp at a lower speed than it leaves a straight cat. Building an EM cat into a ski ramp makes the ramp smaller and the cat shorter thus saving a lot of deck real estate. You might be able to make a smaller carrier just as efficient as a big one and have more carriers than an other navy with the same total capability and the same costs but with more flexibility.

An eyewitness at Dalian Shipyard has noted that the first module for the aircraft carrier is under construction. It is said to be part of the new carrier which will be based on the Liaoning; here is a drawing from the eyewitness.

What is the source of this information? Are there photos of this?

there isn't. We don't get pictures of everything because Dalian shipyard is not that easy to take up close photos and also some people might be worried that they get put in jail. But if this stuff is for real, we will definitely see photos sooner rather than later.

Yup! With recently a Chengdu employee get fired and all the high management of the project get demerit points and warning for leaking out photo of J-20.

No one is going to risk leaking out close photo of construction of new CV in the shipyard. We just have to be patient and wait for aerial view once the big pictures comes together...

More like, when they decided that it's time for the "controlled leak", if there's really one in the first place.

It ain't like religion that "don't ask question, just believe" so you guys have fun, while I hold down my hat and nuts amid this crazy wind.

I think TP was referring to average joes and wall climbers and not the likes of CIA.

Incidently I live in the city where the NGA is as well. I actually know a few folks who work there. I'm sure they have detail pictures of Dalian and Jiangnan. LOL but I'm not even going to ask.
