Work is well underway on
the next aircraft carrier due to join China’s fast-expanding navy. A leaked photo now
brings us our closest view yet of the vessel, which is set to provide the
People’s Liberation Army Navy, or PLAN, with a significant leap in
capabilities, including catapults for launching aircraft, a major advantage
over the service’s previous two, smaller aircraft carriers with their “ski
jump” takeoff ramps.
The as-yet unnamed new carrier, currently known by
the designation Type 003, has been under construction at the Jiangnan Shipyard
outside Shanghai since at least late 2018. Earlier this week, it emerged that a
Tik-Tok user had managed to take a very close-up photo of the vessel, shot from
drydock where it is being built, and upload it to that social networking
service. The image was deleted soon after, but not before it had been saved and
shared elsewhere online.
