According to this new image of that strange vessel under construction at the HZ yard at Changxin Island, the next level of the deck - maybe the flight deck (?) - is being added.

Should be the bottom part of the overhang segments of the flight deck. Posted by @Rational314159 on Twitter.

At least so far there is no evidence this new hull has a similar centreline elevator at the stern as Type 075. My impression was they already reached the aviation hangar level, so the mechanism should be evident, but its not. In fact the state of the hull reinforces the notion of side mounted elevators similar to US LHD/LHA designs. Just where and how many is up for debate.
Stern elevator would be nightmare for landing UAV... you got flying airplane in your hangar with a mishap and your arresting cables would be far from the stern.

amazing development one question does it have a well deck?

4 x Type 075 LHD

and now in 2024 the first Type 076 appeared

I think a highly advanced UCAV will be ready for this LHA

I combination of manned and unmanned aircraft from Carriers seems to be the future of the PLAN
