China developing 180,000-ton double-hull aircraft carrier
I know right? Where was the artist planning on drydocking that pig?
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
They should bring their new catamaran carrier. Properly run aground to give it some stability and with the islands removed it would make a splendid pitch for some 20/20 games.
Maybe they should put a sail on it and then race the New Zealand catamaran to find the next challenger for the America's Cup.
Ok, I couldn't help myself so pelt me with some kiwi fruit

I think its more reasonable and pragmatic to say that the next chinese carrier will be single hull. Any ship builder will tell you that a monster heavy vessel will be more stable as a single hull.

No, with twin hulls there is an engineering dimensions limitation.
Size is relative to the mission reqs for the hulls selected.
There are capabilities which are better suited to large cats than to large mono's - and thats also based on the notional geographical reqs that the vessels will be operating in
It's about brown, green, grey and blue water reqs against the platform
