If its 300 meters length, then this is probably going to be "liaoning with catapults".
I would be hesitant to conclude this from very tentative measurements. We know that the 003's displacement is around 80K tons ... a good step up from the Liaoning of around 60K tons.

Oh come on, they were all already posted pages before your re-post - actually on 25. July - and if you don't know if a certain image is old, then PLEASE do a bit of research.
You anyway seem to have that strange habit to post old images, old and dated reports most often in pure News Threads.

Come on ... it's annoying. :mad:

The length of the blue line is about 300 meters. That place is a rather small place for a drydock to build carriers I think.

the new production area currently under development is too huge, isolated and protected (for just elements).
two construction halls are simply giant (bigger than any others around).
this pattern of industrial expansion highly resembles similar developments now going on at huludao bohai (nuke subs construction).
construction of a big hull does not require a graving dock:
here's a pic of a floating platform big enough for a carrier.

Can anyone show a map where this huge production area and big constuiction halls are marked? going by the photos of JN from intrepid´s post, i cant see where are they.
