Indeed and as a result You now need to go out and find a new image of the true 003 carrier! ;)

There, where the gap is between the bow and the rest of the ship, would be the 12 centrifuges for EMALS in the Ford class.

I don't even know how the Chinese store the energy they need.

Do you mean flywheel by "centrifuge"? China use flywheels too, at least according to the early papers by Ma Weiming.
BTW, where do you get 12? I read papers about EMALS that it is 4 per launch rail, so totally should be 16.

Flywheels are also used in telecoms for providing power storage for land lines in remote sites. Still I think this is kind of old tech. I expected something better. I don't know, something solid state like ultracapacitors, or something else like that. I guess they still don't have enough power density. With flywheels you either make them heavier or you make them spin faster. Supposedly you can even make them out of carbon fiber composites and spin them really quickly. But this is a kind of niche application.

will it have EMALS?

will it be nuclear powered?

whats the verdict so far?

EMALS: Yes
Nuclear Powered: No

Until we see reports of tests for naval nuclear reactors with the required capacity like 150 MWt or more assume it uses conventional power.

Flywheel storage is used in many places where the desirable properties are high reliability, low maintenance, long performance life. Some examples are hospitals and server farms
