CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

That is what we have been waiting for. This completes the shipbuilding complex with building site, dry dock and equipment quay.

If this barge has no power how to maneuver itself in order to line up the module with the dock?

It is a barge, thus it will need a few tug boats to push and pull it around. I have to correct my interpretation of the words "非自航“ from "non-self propelled" to "non-self navigating" or "non-self sailing", as "propelled" is not appropriate.

Also, as a submersible transport, when it is inside the flooded dry dock or just outside the dry dock, it will sink down to 21 metres (maximum) to let the super module float free. The super module will be placed into position by tug boats or cables from the dockside, or a combination of both, and the dry dock will be drained dry and let the module settle onto the keel blocks.

Alternatively, the giant crane can hoist the super module from the barge and lower it down onto the keel blocks in the dry dock free of water.

no there is still a long way to go

everything needs to be commissioned and set up

the first modules may move end of this year

however once the barges start moving the whole process will be very fast and 003 will come together very quickly

And yet again an update of the Type 003 aircraft carrier's construction site at the Jiangnan Shipyard.

Excellent! I am happy to see great progress on the construction. It seems assembly of the bottom half is underway.

 

[asif iqbal]

Trust me when the construction starts it will be break neck speed

clockwork and should see it come together very fast

An adjacent module fabrication(?) area, which was built around the same time as the new assembly halls. I spot two possible bow modules (to be stacked on top of each other when assembled).
