What are those warehouse like buildings on the deck for?

Weather shelter with temperature control (i.e. air conditioned), to ensure extremely tight tolerance between metal parts are adhered to during fitting of catapults.

I think at least 2 003 will be built. It's a pretty good ship.

If my memory holds, I think this new drydock belongs to another shipyard, namely Hudong Zhonghua 沪东中华. And most likely they will built type 076 at this site.

Aicraft carrier 003 is built by Jiangnan Changxing shipyard 江南长兴. I expect them to continue using dry dock #3 for building future aircraft carriers.
