China is ready to build the first domestic carrier vessels, Jiangnan Shipyard Group General Manager, said in an interview, "the first aircraft carrier of the initial budget may be as high as 16 billion," which means that China's first aircraft carrier the cost of domestic nearly $ 3 billion, if coupled with supporting warships and carrier-based aircraft, the cost of an aircraft carrier battle groups will be more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.
Construction of China's first aircraft carrier Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group is currently China's most advanced shipyard, known as "China's first plant", its predecessor was founded in 1865, Li Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, already 148 years ago.
Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau Westernization Movement of the late founder of the first and largest modern China owned industrial enterprises, was the first country to produce rifles, first door steel gun, the first ten thousand tons hydraulic press, the first generation of space tracking ship - 143 years, the Jiangnan Shipyard has created nearly a hundred "China's first."
It is reported that last year, on June 3, Jiangnan Shipyard, the overall move to from the Huangpu River in Shanghai Changxing Island, Chongming County, southeast end of the boat Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base. This is Google Earth captured a suspected Chinese aircraft carrier built here in the biggest reason.
Results from the production base layout, Changxing Shipbuilding Base area of 560 hectares. 3.8 km of coastline shipbuilding base in accordance with the "one hundred years is not backward" design requirements careful planning and design, is divided into three production lines, tied with four large dock and several indoor and outdoor berth.
In recent years, China's shipbuilding industry began to actively build a variety of new vessels, which also includes large warships. Inferred from the current trend of development, the Chinese navy is expected to begin in the next few years in the Pacific (601,099) commenced patrolling the waters. In this case, the use of carrier strike group is undoubtedly used to protect the regional presence in the Pacific and the best way to showcase military strength.
Earlier, the Chinese military officials have pointed out that China's future aircraft carrier would be greater combat ability. China's technical reserves from the current point of view, the construction of aircraft carriers of the preparatory work has been completed. "Jiangnan Shipyard for the construction of an aircraft carrier is ready, it already has the capability, we hope that the construction of one of our own design, with independent intellectual property rights of an aircraft carrier, but the first one carrier may be up to 16 billion initial budget." Jiangnan Shipyard Group Co., Ltd., general manager of Daqing South
Well you may be right but it's just one pic(obviously taken to get that "shadow") so it can be anything.Btw the daylight(actually the way it looks in the pic) depends on the location of the photographer{not the location of liaoning's shadow but how "dark" or "light" it is.
(sorry about my english.It's not my mother tongue)
PS It could also be Liaoning's reflection.

Shadows on the windows of the "hangar"? Not likely.
Here's what we have gotten over the last several weeks out of Dalian regarding a potential indigenous PLAN carrier being constructed there, and the module of part of the bow.
First, we had a sketch from a supposed yard worker who could not take a photo, but could draw a sketch and someone rendered it as follows:
Then later, we got some pretty decent artists renderings of that sketch from several angles. Here's on of them.
Finally, we have the picture of the Liaoning from Dalian taken such that is also caputured what appears to be the same module in the background. In fact, it appears to be from the same angle as the rendering picture I showed (which is why I showed that one).
As I said, I have examined the last photo, blown it up, and looked for inconsistencies. I could not find any. Now, the one I posted today has a few around the red circle that was drawn on the earlier photo...to remove it. But that is my doing. The original had none, and this one has none around that module.
I believe that that is in fact an actual module sitting behind the Liaoning. I believe it is the same thing the yard worker saw and sketched and then was rendered. I also believe it looks a lot like what could possibly be a ski ramp on the bow of a carrier.
Is that actually what it is? Too soon to tell, but it looks like it may well be.
Is it in fact a large module being constructed for the 1st indigenous PLAN carrier? That is...as I said before...the $50 dollar question.
Time will tell.
I'm not sure. Some say there is an announcement coming next week...perhaps they will announce the construction of the new carrier.It could be. Is that why the Liaoning was at Dalian, you know to be use as sort of an actual size scale model for the indigenous one?
Dalian is where the Liaoning was completely rebuilt too, so it could be to do some upgrade or fix something too.
We just do not know at this point.

I try to ignore the color drawn outlines and just look at the plain picture itself tells me it's either another cargo ship or large barge.
That looks like a very old picture of India's indegenous carrier. The outline drawn seems to be similar too.
The article itself says that Jiangnan shipyard CEO stated that budget appropriated for construction of China's first carrier is about $3B USD.
