Re: PLAN Carrier Construction
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.
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.China is ready to build the first domestic carrier vessels...
