PLAN is experimenting with CATOBAR launcher with modified j15 to cater catapult launch. The new carrier will be fitted with CATOBAR which means it'll have flat bow deck instead of ski ramp.

They are racing with IN carrier program.

PLAN new carrier will be larger and superior than IN carrier. The J15 has better range, radar, maneuverability, armaments for air, asw and cas roles.

Last block for the stern of the hull. Hopefully, another large block within a week forward of the hangar could be fitted in. By the way, the Big Cat said there will be a delay in launch schedule.

China’s newest aircraft carrier will be larger than the first aircraft carrier Liaoning but will carry similar aircraft including J-15 fighter jets, according to media reports.

The second aircraft carrier will be larger than Liaoning, though it will still carry the J-15, China's first-generation multipurpose carrier-borne fighter jet, Yin Zhuo - a senior researcher with the People's Liberation Army Navy Equipment Research Center - was quoted by news site cnr.cn as saying Sunday.

Yin said the new aircraft carrier will also feature a new design that will allow the vessel to carry more ammunition, aircraft and fuel, greatly improving its self-sufficiency and combat effectiveness at sea.

Yin also revealed that the aircraft on the new carrier will be similar to the Liaoning that includes early warning aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft and health evacuation helicopters, in addition to the J-15 fighters.

The construction of China's second aircraft carrier, the country's first to be independently designed, was announced by Ministry of Defense spokesperson Yang Yujun on December 31, 2015.
