Type 003 Aircraft Carrier - China’s New Super Carrier Review

China Type 003 Aircraft Carrier - One of the significant developments in Chinese aircraft carrier progress is the pace of work on aircraft carrier type 003 at Jiangnan shipyard in Shanghai. As now established, 003 will be the Chinese Navy’s first CATOBAR carrier. This China’s third aircraft carrier will be considerably larger than its predecessors, the Liaoning and Shandong, which each measure 304.5 meters in length. Earlier assessments of Type 003 is estimated its waterline dimensions at roughly 300 meters in length and 40 meters in width. As the flight deck has taken shape, the vessel’s overall length has increased to approximately 315 meters, and its width at the widest point has expanded to 74 meters. Type 003 will continue to grow as work progresses. Perhaps the best size comparison is the Kitty Hawk-class of carriers, which the U.S. Navy operated from the 1960s through the 2000s, and which had a waterline length of about 300 meters and overall length of nearly 324 meters.
