Wow! This is a great picture to clearly show the island and the 2 large openings. Yes, it is a very compact design for the island. Maybe the same design can be moved to Liaoning and Shandong carriers later on if needed. Thanks for the beautiful picture.

I guess that modern electronics may reduce the number of staffs required above the flight deck.

Yes, the size of staff on a US carrier is over 5000. Will see how many on the 003 later on. Should be less for sure.

Nice pics. Thx. Seems to me that the cats are being worked on. We will see a flat top really soon.

No further news on Type 003 yet? Only said the 2 big holes on deck covered but the video looks like they only covered with planks rather than sealed.

@horobeyo claims that the deck may be closed ... in fact I see nothing!

Looks like most of the equipment be installed before ship launching or sea trial. Not like Vikrant, pretty clean on the deck.
