Yes. I believe so.I believe these are the spacings and fairings for the EM arresting gears?
There is no difference between proper carriers and LHA or cruisers or battleships (probably never in PLAN). All these ships are classified as major combatants and they all take names of province level administrative areas (34 for now). They all take two digits.I'm curious, what is the delineation between province names used for the massive fleet carriers vs smaller carriers such as this one?
Although purely speculative right now, China may look to field 6-10 (if not more) supercarriers in the coming decades. Surely they will run out of provinces to use as supercarrier names if they are using them for LHDs as well? I would have thought the smaller ships would use township names rather than province names, given how the latter are the "highest-level" administrative division in China.
