I have a hard time believing this was drawn 2.5 years ago. Also, the watermark says 2016, not 2015. It's likely this CGI was originally uploaded in 2015 and then successively modified and reuploaded over time, including a couple days ago when the photos came out.
Why we still can't settle on 128 vs 112 
It's 112 for sure. Otherwise they would have shown it. It's that simple.
A little disappointing but that's the way it is. Think it this way: maybe they save the space for something more important than a few VLS.

I feel like if it was 128 they would still not have shown it. The number of VLS probably has little to do with whether they are showing the aft VLS bank or not.

Why don't we stop guessing how many VLS they got and wait for them to show us? To be honest, all the argument back and forth is so exhausting and pointless...
This then brings up another question. Why do they seem to be hiding the aft section? All the photos seem to only point at the front part?

I think it is more likely 128.
And I think that we will see the pictures soon enough, one way or another.
The ship is launched now. There will be no "hiding" it in any case, and one thing is for sure, the analysts in the various nations that have the capabilities already know exactly how many there are. As I said...it's been launched and though we have not seen it from above...you can bet that there are those who have.

According to Internet chatter, the 128 figure seems to be confirmed.
They just decided to show the neatest, loeast revealing pictures with the offical launch.
For their own reasons...whatever they are.
I would love to see them too. The VLS. The hangar doors. The exact size of the landing pad. The ports on the back side for all sorts of things like VDS and ATAS, etc.
Anyhow...we will know soon enough.

well, guessing (educated) is part of the excitement of this forum, if it is exhausting to you ... simply stop reading it ... as simple as that
I don't think they are trying to hide the aft section, it simply no photos yet
