Quite possibly the arresting system on the 002 has move a little bit. Perhaps an improve system from Liaoning.

It didn't move. The distance to the runway was reduced in front of and behind the arresting wire system. American style.

I expect Liaoning to get the same markings.

Intrepid talks about Typ 001 A, which is the 2nd carrier

What is that cover between the two exhaust deflector ?
They have ASMs installed onto the type 001A?
And there are same covers around the original granit launchers as well.

Are those launch tubes?

LOL nah, they're weapons elevators

At the launch position?
So the aircraft moves to the launch position empty, then they start to load it with ordnance?

It cut back drastically the sortie rate.
Maybe they used up the space of old Granit tubes for weapon storage.

On the Nimitz class it is around the main aircraft elevators.
And on Nimitz they move the aircraft with full weapon loads to the launch position.

guess Rick may want to handle this:
