Aircraft Carriers
Type 003 class under construction, with a likely completion date of 2021-2022. LOA ca. 1,050′ TDISP 85,000 tons. The below view shows this at the Shanghai shipyards (Jiangnan) at the stage of mega-block construction, in 4 enormous hull sections which add up to about 965′. Comparing the hull sections to the overall length of USN carrier hulls, it is possible to roughly estimate a final length, after the flight deck is built, of 1050-1070′. For views of USN supercarriers of similar size being dismantled, see our page. Overall, the deck lines seem most similar to the Kitty Hawk class variant USS John F. Kennedy, CV-67. 
Type 002 class (sub-class variant of Soviet/Russian Kusnetsov design) (1 working up)
Type 001 class Modified Kuznetsov-Class heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Varyag, left unfinished on the dissolution of the Soviet Union in Mykolaiv, Ukraine. The Ukrainian government sold the derelict “dead” ship to China in 1998 under agreement it would become a floating casino. Instead it was “re-animated” (my term) being rebuilt and converted first to a training carrier, and now an operational carrier.
Liaoning (ex- Varyag) pennant 16 (completed 2012) LOA 999′ TDISP 58,000
Carrier deck layout at training facility near Huangjia Lake, SW of Wuhan China. Originally constructed 2009 LOA 1,000′. See the Chinese Navy cruisers page for the nearby Type 055 superstructure.
Mock carrier in Shanghai built into a lake LOA 725′ reduced layout of what appears to be closer to a US supercarrier.
