China’s carriers are already dead in the water. US Army LRHW maritime strike capability has been confirmed for LRHW batteries 2 and 3 for 2025 and ‘27.

Most likely yes, but to think US carrier have a higher chance of survival is plain naive!

Now a clear version of the image released yesterday showing the stern and parts of the port side of the Type 003 aircraft carrier, but - as expected - IMO it does not look like a third elevator!

It just show the confident level of Chinese design for PLAN aircraft carrier.

Why is the lack of a third elevator a sign for China's "confident level" of its aircraft carrier? Or in return: The USN must be very un-confident with their design?

Sure, China could have plant a third elevator for it but it didn't.

Of cos ,USN design is very unconfident. Look at their Gerald Ford CVN. Don't you tell me it's a success. How many exercise has it joined and declared combat ready since commission and until now ,the problem of catapult reliability still persists.

I can assure you, Type 003 will join PLAN and be combat ready ahead of Gerald Ford CVN.

Is there a really a need for a third elevator?
