As it seems, this as the most recent image showing the Type 003 aircraft carrier - PLANS-18 'Fujian' - shows that all three work sheds have been dismantled.

expect sea trials in Q1 2024

with 3 catapults this Carrier could probably match the sortie rate of both CV16 and CV17 combined

plus more importantly it will have a long range long endurance fixed wing AWACS the eyes and ears of any Carrier Strike Group
