That’s the problem most natiave Chinese speakers have with the few member here insisting we still need to wait for “official” designation when we have already had the official designation ie. “002航母” which translates as “Carrier 002”...

Ok then carry on... plz dont reply to this msg.

疑似江南长兴的003型航母分段面世,从分段结构上看,应该为航母的机库部分,而外飘则会在机库上面两层以上才搭建,根据更进一步的消息看,该航母的机库宽度与17相类似

Suspected type 003 aircraft carrier segment section at Jiangnan Shipyard, Changxing. From the perspective of the segment structure, it should be the hangar part of the aircraft carrier. The outer flange segment parts will be built on the upper top two layers of the hangar. From further news, it is said that the hangar width of this aircraft carrier is similar to that of the 017.

Judging by the size and completion level of that module, it seems closer to QE kind of construction. As opposed to Ford class construction or Dalian's cv17 construction which used smaller modules to build up the whole ship.
For QE:
First large module was placed in its place 3 years before launch. Commissioning then took another 3.5 years after launch.

For Ford carrier:
Took 4 years from first part being laid down to launch. Then another 2.5 years to commission.

Carrier 002/ cv17
Took 3.5 years from first part being laid down to launch.

Liaoning carrier
Took a year or year and a half to commission.

I would say it is realistic 003 may be commissioned 5.5 to 6.5 years from now. So sometime from early 2024 to early 2025.
