I like those side by sides but with drawings you always have to hope the artist gets it right. Here a notable mistake is the missing crane on Shandong vs Liaoning ahead of the forward elevator.
CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
Speaking of which, 003 has a cut-out in the same position that was once presumed to host a crane just like 17 and 16 before it. As we've seen since her launch the crane is ostensibly missing, neither is any supporting structure for it being presently installed.
Instead, a catwalk has been installed there, which seems to suggest they have since decided not to place a crane on 003 for whatever reason, but have chosen to let the rather obvious cut-out to the hull/deck remain anyway.
16's ski jump angle is 14 degrees and 17's ski jump angle is 12 degrees am I correct?

I'm surprised nobody posted this, usually people are quick to post any pictures of the carrier Fujian, Taiwan strait crisis taking all the spotlight?

Well, the image quality is rather low so I didn't want to post them, but here they are.
The modules sitting in the shed look interesting. Similar width and height as 003, with multiple decks. Would it be safe to assume another AC is coming down the pike? Can't think of a civilian/commercial ship with that similar structure having ever been built in that yard.
