As I said before, let's see how fast they can pull this thing out.
The aerial pic in next month should confirm whether the ship's main hull has been welded together into one piece.
After that, the propulsion compartment should be soon sealed with more modules being added above the waterline section.
By the end of Q1 2021, the wave piercing bulbous bow module should be joined with the main hull. By then, expect the total length of the ship to reach about 330 meters.
Agreed and as usual I appreciate any discussion with even if in the end I often enough come to other conclusions. So like this one ...
Some people have already spotted the radiation shielding boxes in the shipyard.
So it is quite self-explanatory.
....
Indeed, if these are "radiation shielding boxes in the shipyard", then it is indeed "quite self-explanatory". However I'm still not sure and prefer to wait for my final conclusion.

Look at how your most seemingly affirmative or even bold statements on the 003 has been causing some fascinating dynamic controversy even at the adjacent, prof. forum well, we all gonna see which part matches what you said, hopefully by some time in this December. Ha ha ha you indeed take some "risk" to say out aloud some notions in advance Most folks will be more cautious and opt to play safe, stick to the mainstream notion, or simply wait n see and avoid engaging in such "risk" putting his credibility on the table...
Let's keep a note for future ref upon these matters as time goes by,,,, hopefully by coming Dec things are cleared out.
That's indeed an interesting issue, but one I beg to understand and not to overrate.
I think both forums have their very individual strengths and weaknesses, both have established thru the years of development very different standards and a very different mix of members. I must admit I love both and I won't miss any of them even if I'm surely one of the members here, who often enough annoys members here with that "nasty" SDF-habit of asking for a proof!
@ChineseTiger1986 is indeed a prime example for this: IMO he is at the PDF one of the most valuable members and I like discussing with him very much, even if most often I cannot agree with him. This carrier question on CV or CVN is one and the other the topics I don't agree and even more that all J-20s are shall be using WS-15 engines since 2011.
But anyway, he argues, he helps to understand the other way of thinking, presents constantly valuable sources I won't find without his guidance and most of all he initiates a constant process of thinking, reconsidering of my own opinion. So the most important thing for me is not to have the same opinion in the end, but the process is it.
On the other side I see at the PDF - partially in the PAF and nearly completely in the Turkish section - too many with a too much overrated nationalistic chest-bumping attitude. Statements like "you are not allowed to post here since you are not a Pakistani/Turkish member", open insults only since an opinion - often enough explained with several reasons - is simply refuted without even any argument and the IMO difficult to understand habit of simply believing what certain members say regardless contradicting evidence is a problem to my scientific approach. My old friend MK with his applause to a fan boy that the JF-17 Block 3 will have an Italian engine and use AMRAAM is the prime example of this stupid arrogance, which is something, barely or simply not acceptable at the SDF.
Sorry for the long post, but maybe it helps a bit to understand the differences.
