According to the original tweet and some translations it is assumed that the bow installation work of 003 type aircraft carrier has begun. ... however I can't see something what looks like a bow?!
You’re not alone on this, neither can I. Totoro made the same comment on CDF.
But at least that huge module under the hall close to the basin is either gone or moved again back under the further aft ones??? Or am I wrong?
No you’re not wrong, that has gone out of sight.
Me again, since I think I made a mistake ... at first sight I thought the two images posted yesterday were taken from the regular direction facing the big basin, however after comparing with the bigger image from top I was wrong and the line of sight - even if not entirely sure - seems to be as marked by that arrow ... Or am I wrong again.
Anyway, that still means of the so far two mega-blocks or super-modules at least one is missing?! Can anyone help me out?
It seems indeed as I corrected myself, and this GE satellite image confirms that the large modules have been moved to the front edge of the basin - as we already discussed assuming that the assembly has reached the stage of being ready to be transferred to the dry dock for final assembly - and this image also confirms the rumours from yesterday, since the part looks indeed like the rumoured bow ....
