1. The first Type 002 will start the construction no earlier than the spring 2016.
2. The Type 001A will be launched by 2016 and commissioned by 2019.
3. The second Type 002 will start the construction by 2017-2018
4. The EMALS is close to the success, but it won't be installed on the coming Type 002, but on the Type 003 (100,000+ tonnes nuclear supercarrier) instead.
5. The Type 052D is planned with 24 units and 8 units for the first batch of the Type 055, but there will be the even larger Type 055A in the future.

Type 001A: An improvement of the aircraft carrier Liaoning (ex-Varyag), with the displacement increasing by 15% and the island structure being slightly reduced in size.

Type 002: A 78000 tonnes conventional supercarrier with the steam catapults.

Type 003: A 100000+ tonnes nuclear supercarrier with the EMALS.

One point.........will China be building any helicopter carriers to supplement its amphibious forces in the near future.......we have all seen images and heard rumours..........but alas so far no concrete proof!

Anyway,......personally i'am looking forward to seeing the 055 Cruiser/Destroyer..........as that is what i call a proper beast of a warship! :-)
