New satellite images published by a US think tank may provide the world's first look at China's next aircraft carrier, as construction progresses on a mysterious large vessel in a shipyard outside Shanghai
Significant new activity at the Jiangnan Shipyard was captured in satellite images from April, published by Washington-based think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies .According to CSIS, they show a massive bow and main hull section of a large vessel under construction. At points, the hull section is as wide as 40 meters .
Director of the International Security Program at Sydney's Lowy Institute, Sam Roggeveen, said while China's first two carriers are variations on an older Soviet-era design, the Type 002 is expected to have more in common with advanced US vessels."The previous two had what they call a ski jump ramp which allows aircraft to take off without any mechanical assistance," he said, adding the new model is likely to have a more-advanced catapult launch system.
