Seeing them start putting the weapons on is noe...and you an see that with the latest several pictures.

But there is still clearly MUCH to be done in terms of outfitting before she does any at sea trials. It is clear that the main sensors have a LOT of work yet to be done, not to mention other areas.

But that is okay...she is coming along nicely and will, I am sure, be ready to go to sea soon enough and probably faster than most other nations major outfitting of such a large vessel after launch.

By way of comparison, Australia's LHDs were commissioned years ago and still have no CIWS.

They make good photo ops for the brass and pollies tho.

I think you are confusing Otto cycle with Rankine cycle
In Otto cylce (internal combustion engine) adding turbo charge will increase the air and rate of combustion which in turn add more energy to the piston because hot air is the medium and directly acted on the piston. So for the same volume it generate more power resulting in smaller engine!

But in Rankine cycle power is created in 2 stages Heat is used to converted water to steam which in turn fed to steam turbine and drive the generator. Adding more heat will only result in more WET steam generated.But the amount of steam admitted to the turbine is limited by governing turbine control valve!
Or else you will get steam turbine over run!. Here steam is the medium to generate power and not the air

Power is depend on the quality of steam the higher the temperature and pressure the higher is the availability of energy.
The way to get higher pressure and temperature steam is to add Superheater!. Reheater, FW heater
If more power is demanded heat is used to increase flue gas temperature and increase steam quality.
It is demand based

The cycle is tangential to the issue. The issue is the rate at which each boiler can generate thermal energy.

The rate at which air is supplied to the boiler determines the rate at which fuel can be burned, which in turn determines the amount of energy available to generate, heat and pressurize the steam.

The production rate, pressure and temperature of the steam determines both how much power is supplied to the turbine, and the efficiency with which the turbine can extract that power to turn the shaft.

When other factors are held constant, increasing the rate at which the boiler ingest air increases the rate at combustion can occur, which increases the thermal energy added to the steam, and increase the energy that can be recovered by the turbine for powering the shafts.

Obviously it assumes the entire system had been designed to process the amount of steam generated at the perspective air intake rate and combustion condition.

Looks like they are putting in the apars. Probably donw by now since it's a few days later since the photo was taken.
