The CCTV is giving off ”万事俱备，只欠东风“-kind of message/hype on the 076 LHD Sichuan's impending CATOBAR trials. Posted by @沉默的山羊 on Weibo.

Note the white dashed line next to the electromagnetic catapult. The white dashed line should be the safety warning line for the electromagnetic catapult.
The width from this line to the catapult track reaches 15 meters.
This may mean that the 076 could catapult a fixed-wing aircraft with a very large wingspan
This means it is very likely to carry long-endurance UAVs with a wingspan on the order of 25 meters, such as WZ-7 or CH-7, as a means of reconnaissance and early warning. They may only catapult-launch from the 076 and return directly to land-based airfields after completing their missions

A Sichuan model with many GJ-21s on deck, though like it's increasingly the case these days, i don't know if it's an official model, a fan model or AI.
Hudong Changxing is presently building a yet to be identified large hull in one of its drydocks. Initial speculation was this is another Type 075 (which could at least notionally mean it could also be a Type 076). But its all up in the air (or, pardon, down in the dock) at the moment.
It may not be LHD at all.........
