CV-18 Fujian - Type 003 Aircraft Carrier News & Discussions

. . . . .
Yes, better discuss about waterline length of Type 003 AC.
According to measurement of the current modules at dry dock, it will have at least 315m waterline length.

So, according to this length. There is high probability that Type 003 will have 95,000 -100,000 Tonnes tonnage.

A Supercarrier indeed..

Here is some tonnage references for the US supercarriers.

CVN-68: 88,000 metric tons full load

CVN-76: 98,900 metric tons full load

CVN-79: 99,201 long tons full load

But the laid down was started drom March or April 2015 I believe?
Which is roughly the same stage of current 003 statues.
If I'm not mistaken, the construction progress between the 002 and 003 is not directly comparable because Jiangnan and Dalian use different module assembly processes. I think given the current satellite photos that the 003s progress is around the 002s progress in August/September 2015 is pretty credible.
