Self-explanatory.

What bothers me about the Type 003 carrier is the lack of a third elevator on the other side of the flight deck. It is essentially a enlarged Admiral Kuznetsov class carrier with catapults.

I read somewhere the port side elevator are rarely used. If anything, they could use a 3rd on the starboard. Guess they’ll work it out if its needed on the next ship once they experience deck operations with more aircraft on the 003.
