There are discussions in CJDBY that the proposed new "launching and fitting out basin/pool" contract is to be completed by October this year. And also a mobile dock or barge will be completed by the same time.
If the above are true, then it is possible that ac 003's planned launching schedule is after October this year. I have a photo dated 2018-8-19 showing a module of 003, which indicate that JNCX started fabricating that module in 2nd quarter of 2018.
Since October 2019 is about 1 1/2 years after, it is quite reasonable that ac 003 will be launched around then. It will be interesting to see if they will use a dry dock or using the mobile barge method that launched type 055 DDG.
