Still looks intact to me.

Perhaps they are keeping them to protect the tracks, the deck is a building site right now. They might stay until even after launch in this case, and could be a feature of future maintenance.

How much time it takes for US shipyard to instal steam catapult, and EMALS catapult? Can we use this as a reference on when they will complete the installation of catapult on type 003?

The commissioning of CVN 78 was delayed by three years because the EMALS caused problems.

And actually, the delayed commissioning was still too early, because even then the ship did not function as intended.
