That' exactly the reason why SDF kindly asks all members to upload the images directly here and not to hotlink them ... PDF is down since hours and so no images are visible.

It is only temporary I see it now
For me still nothing! ... and the same in all other post you made today with hotlinked images from PDF. So please don't do that again.

Yes it is notice the radio antenna on the ship bow all 6 of them are installed now . They working on the weapon elevator next to the island as well , while at the front it seem to be done
I still think they could have manufactured another of these STOBAR carriers before moving into the CATOBAR version.
Also it is kind of a big jump and there is still a lot of things they could do, like test more novel propulsion methods, like the Queen Elizabeth class which uses IEP with CODAG. They want to make this massive jump into the CATOBAR carriers and we still have little clue about which propulsion methods they will use in the first series. The USA actually had a kind of neat carrier design where you could relatively switch from steam boilers to nuclear propulsion though. So perhaps they have that in mind here.
There is going to be this gap between the LHD and the CATOBAR carriers. Then there is the issue that the Type 071 is like a single use vessel. I think the Chinese could either replace some of their troop carriers with multi-function STOBAR vessels like the Spanish use, or have two CATOBAR classes with different sizes in the future.

I guess they are removing the mock up and start cleaning up via LKJ86
