　　参考消息网8月19日报道 港媒称，由“空中巴士集团防卫与太空部门”提供的大连造船厂最新卫星照片中，可见被称“001A”的首部中国国产航舰已具清晰的外形。《简氏防务周刊》指出，这艘航空母舰的建造工作已经进入尾声。

　　据香港《经济日报》网站8月19日报道，这张于8月11日拍摄的卫星照片，除了显示即将完工的001A航舰外，也可以看到三艘052D型驱逐舰的生产情况。

　　报道称，照片可见，现在001A航舰仅有舰首与其他额外配件还在赶工之中。十分值得注意之处，在于船坞旁的两块船舰组装处已经被清空得差不多，仅能看到飞机专用升降机等少数还未登舰的零组件。航舰前端与后端的模块，也在这张卫星照片中出现。

　　《简氏防务周刊》认为，这些大型模块的存在，可证明航舰的组装将于近期内完成。

　　此前，内地官媒引述内地军事专家曹卫东预估，这艘航空母舰今年底便可下水，2018年或2019年就能交付海军。
