CHINA-PLA: WORK CONTINUING ON CHINA'S THIRD AIRCRAFT CARRIER

An open source image of March 2020 showed progress on China's third aircraft carrier (CV-003) being built at the Jiangnan shipyard. It seems to indicate that work has continued throughout COVID-19, though there might have been some disruption. Analysts say it showed the new basin has been dredged and work on the new quay has been largely finished. The tall cranes, which are possibly for the fitting out process, are now in place on rails. The main hull sections of the carrier have been aligned and may be joined soon.
