CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

My purely speculated opinion. Two elevators, one of which will be over-sized for two J15 or one KJ600.

Too big, they probably just haven't fill the gap yet.
Also that's not catapult line, it's the crane in the foreground.

If we can really see the deck openings for the chimneys - I'm not sure - then more where the red arrows point. Maybe also where the blue arrows point.

With the chimneys in a rectangle, it would be a wide, short island, not a long narrow one.

'Chimneys' something in your household. I believe the correct terminology is 'smoke stacks' ?

 

[Richard Santos]

Smoke stacks are usually made or brick or concrete and are most often found near factories and power plants On land.

The thing that discharges a ship’s engine exhaust into the air is called a “funnel” If it is used mainly for that purpose. it would often be called a “Mack” if the structure is also used to support radar and other major items normally found on masts.

That is not a catapult, it is the hanging cable of the Gantry. No over sized elevator is needed as the plan will be lift up and down with wing folded.

Sorry for not using the correct technical terms. I was out and about and couldn't access my bookshelf.

But today I was able to look it up, correctly it should be "boiler uptake".

 

[Richard Santos]

boiler up take is the ducting that conducts boiler gas away from the furnace up through the funnel. The funnel is the external structure that enable the boiler gas to be discharged away from deck and superstructure

 

[Intrepid]

For interessted people, the boiler uptakes at 02-level (the next deck above the main-/hangardeck) of US-Navy carrier CV 60 Saratoga. Hopefully you can see how they are sloping up the overhang.

Perhaps the third elevator is there，big surprise !!!!!!

this does not look like a slot for an elevator
