A new Chinese aircraft carrier with technology nearly equalling the capabilities of its US counterparts could be launched as soon as February next year, according to an analysis of satellite imagery by a Washington-based think tank.In images provided by Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the carrier - known only as the Type 003 - can be seen on the edge of completion on October 23, in the Jiangnan shipyard in Shanghai.The installation of major external and internal components, including power plants and the aircraft launching system, appears to either be finished or on the verge of completion, CSIS said.
