Yes, thousands of times. In fact, China had originally planned 003 to use steam but switched in 2019 to EM because the tests had gone so well. China used an entirely different EM catapult based on DC than the US one which is based on AC.I see three catapults. Are these EMALS? Was that ground based EMALS TD used to launch any actual jets?
This is it launching from the Steam catapult. Any photos of it launching from the EMALS?The J-15T -- you can see blast shields on test site -- just like on ship! :

That is impressive. Chinese shipyards have come a long way. Any idea the average construction time of these vessels?It will look very nice when launched!
