Dammit! Do we have the original photo that the fake is based on?
In the fake, the two remaining covers have no slogans on their roofs like in previous photos. Were the slogans photoshopped off or were they actually removed sometime?

The catapult track was tilted slightly to the left.
Is that so? In this picture we have a clear sight of catapult's right edge for there is a long shadow line. However if we look closely the left edge is not so different than what we see in new photo thus we cannot be sure it's a fake yet.
I am scratching my head as why people believed the CG in the first place. 
The top covers of the bow cats are clearly P-Sed to remove the slogans, that makes the whole photo a fake. There is no reason for the ship yard to remove the slogan and paint the covers in gray from red.

Sometimes I wonder if people ever actually read these forums…

I think no-one claimed this to be a CG, but this guy is a well-known CG-specialist and he admitted, by his understanding it is photoshopped!
