I really see neither a catapult rail (whatever this deep trench is it is IMO too wide and too deep!) not do I see anything that hints towards one, two or even three lifts.
I think we simply should wait ...

It seemed too big to be a rail
yes
About 5-6m wide, depending on the ship next to it being 054A or B.

has this dry dock built civilian ships before?
if not other than LHA/LHD and FGG what else could they be?

AFAIK this drydock has built nothing so far ... What we see is in fact the first vessel build in this dock.
Successful land based test of intake and exhaust systems for marine gas turbine, completed on 5th of Feb, 3 days ahead of schedule.
Everyone in that weibo thread seems to think it must be for 076, which if true would mean 076 replacing 055 as largest displacement PLAN ship powered by gas turbine.
It would be odd that this is talking about 055, which is not exactly a new platform. The tone, and the fact that it is newsworthy at all, indicate that it's for a non-055 gas turbine ship. Is there any other such ship other than 076?
