red lines: this module has yet to be inserted. The remaining gap then shows how big the aircraft elevator will be.

green lines: I was looking for this edge. I couldn't see it in photos from the other side. Now I am also convinced that the ship will receive three catapults.

I'm not sure... It looks a little small, I don't know if caused by the perspective.
