003 drydock??
Obviously not.
Is it a new large-size drydock for large naval & commercial assets, incl. carrier class, in JNCX?
Carrier, carrier, carrier!
I believe Professor Ma Weiming gave a presentation and told his audience that the 003 construction was postponed personally by Xi due to the then on-going catapult competition. So the construction of individual modules should have started already ... maybe not assembly but shouldn’t be too long eitherSteel cutting for the 003 began on June 29, 2017. There is no way they could've started dock assembly at this stage.

The individual modules would have to be designed around the catapult, so either that the existing modules had to be scrapped or that they never started in the first place. Unless there is zero discrepancy in configuration between electromagnetic vs steam cats, I highly doubt that steel cutting started earlier than the mentioned date.
To admit I'm not a specialist in shipbuilding but I'm not sure if or how much the construction of the lower deck modules will differ between a EM- or Steam-Cat-carrier?
Can anyone explain?

The construction has never begun until this year.
I believe it is meant for mitigating the impact of precipitation during dock construction.
Well, it can be any adaptation. A new bid shall be placed soon. Let's wait and see.Does this also mean that they need a bigger canopy?
not canceled, too much changes, caused technological difficulties and hence delay```the AWACs is roughly the size of E-2C``````and the 5th gen AC based stealth fight program is about to freeze the technology prospect, therefore will soon entre the second phase of "chucking" out prototypes `````````but I still don not know how it looks`````````could be a hybrid, or could be just like her mon```Interesting that you brought up J-15S & KJ-600.
Hasn't the J-15S been canceled, and when is the J-15B finally going to debut?
