It's still there. The image below is from less than 24 hours ago.

Wow you must be really brave to upload that

Tieba's guys are really childish

Were there any hints as to which province this carrier will be named after?

 

[Intrepid]

No.

The website outside here refers to the United States, and certainly does not include Pakistan

I never actually knew which country our good friend by78 resided in, glad I can breathe a sigh of relief for him and his family

More confirmation that both elevators are mounted.

Probably a bit late to ask at this stage, but are both of the portside catapults parallel to each other, while only the starboard cat is at a slanted angle?

If so, that's a nice bit of design symmetry, whereas on the US carriers every cat is slanted.

 

[Intrepid]

The first supercarriers had the catapult tracks nicely symmetrically parallel to the edge of the deck on the foredeck.

This was changed from CV 63 Kitty Hawk on and catapult #2 was relocated so that the jet blast deflector no longer protrudes into the runway.

are those ventilation shafts or power cables running into the starboard catapult's shed? maybe initial power on tests have begun?
