Some Type 002 stats, the flight deck is 320.8 meters long and 84 meters, and the full displacement around 86,000 tonnes.
3 steam catapults with 2 on the bow and 1 on the angled flight deck.

I agree with the US comparison, but Japan has no modern carrier operating experience as well.
To compare the WWII carrier and the modern carrier is like apple to orange, the WWII carriers even took the aircrafts with the wooden structure. Those WWII Japanese supercarrier crews were long dead, and Japan currently has no continuation of the modern carrier.
When will construction start?
