The photo too dim for me. I can only see two catapults covered with shed,not sure whether the opening is concealed or covered by a tarpaulin.

... not sure whether the opening is concealed or covered by a tarpaulin.
It doesn't matter whether the hangar is already covered or not. If later maintenance work is carried out on the ship, the hangar can be exposed again in the same places. It is a job that takes little time.

Forward green box: the hangar roof seems to be closed, but the gallery deck between hangar roof and flightdeck is still missing.

Aft green box: looks like openings for the installations of the arresting gear.



Example of arresting gear installation on an US aircraft carrier:

This is not an advanced arresting gear as on USS Ford, it is conventional with hydraulic fluid.
