CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

[pevade]

The barge that was in front of the catapults has also been moved away, so there is now nothing in the way for catapult tests (if it hasn't happened already).

Might wanna do a 180. Probably don't wanna launch stuff towards the dock .

The test sled will probably skip off the water and smash into onshore objects.
