The catapult version of the J-15 has been rumored for certain period of time, but this is probably the first time that the facility's image at ground level leaked to the general community.

And what about their version of the "bubble" shown here? Something tells me the hatch that got fenced up is the remote station to serve the same purpose as found on USN carriers.

We've had pictures of the J-15T/A/B/whatever we want to call it for a while... so I wouldnt' say it has only been "rumoured".

This is however the first time we've had a ground level photo of it attached to a catapult at Huangdicun.

Well, here goes the most formal report of PLAN's EMALS up to now. People's Daily On-line quoted Ma's words like below,
海军电磁专家马伟明曾表示,国产电磁弹射航母已经赢得了下一代弹射器竞争的胜利,很有可能提前问世。
"Our EMALS has won the competition. It may show itself before estimated."
