CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

As it seems, this is one of the clearest recent images of the PLANS-18 „Fujian“ after being in the water again since 14th February.

Is the Fujian's flight deck somewhat lower than American Nimitz and Ford class carriers, and more similar in height to Liaoning and Shandong?

A new(?) image showing a J-15 mockup on the Type 003.

Not sure if indeed recent - aka from today - but at least it shows the PLANS-18 „Fujian“ moving …

PS: Actually, given that there is still that small orange part visible it is indeed likely this image is from last week, when it was transferred from the dry-dock to the fitting-out basin.

Another image from a slightly different angle.

It is not a device. It is a mat
