<span style="font-size: 15px;"><b>Key Points</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>An unidentified hull in an advanced state of construction at Dalian shipyard could be China's first indigenous aircraft carrier</li>
<li>While a conclusive identification of the hull as an aircraft carrier
 cannot be made until work is observed on the upper decks and potential 
flight deck, the slow pace of assembly and outline suggests a military 
hull under construction</li>
</ul>
Satellite imagery suggests that China may be building its first aircraft carrier at Dalian shipyard in northern China.<br />
<br />
Airbus Defence and Space imagery captured on 22 September suggests that 
the possible carrier is under construction in the dry dock associated 
with the refit and repair of <i>Liaoning</i> (CV16), the Soviet-era 
Kuznetsov-class carrier acquired from Ukraine that is now in People's 
Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) service.<br />
<br />
The new hull, first noted under construction in imagery captured on 10 March, is in an advanced state of assembly.<br />
<br />
<i>IHS Jane's</i> first noted preparations for a new vessel's assembly 
at the dry dock in Airbus Defence and Space imagery captured on 27 
February. After the launch of a large commercial cargo vessel, the empty
 dry dock contained multiple support blocks used to provide a base for 
keel assembly. On 10 March, further imagery showed the initial stages of
 hull construction. At the time, the support layout suggested a hull of 
150 to 170 m in length with a beam of about 30 m.<br />
<br />
The hull assembly continued through the summer. Imagery from 22 
September shows a lengthened aft section and expanded bow. The hull is 
currently assessed to have a length of about 240 m and a beam of about 
35 m. The incomplete bow suggests a length of at least 270 m for the 
completed hull.<br />
<br />
Given the incomplete nature of the upper decks, definitive 
identification of the Dalian hull as the first so-called '001A' aircraft
 carrier is not possible.<br />
