003 island APAR finished installation, scalfolding removed. Arrester hook installation.
Support ship arrived as sea trial draws near. The crew will soon start to familiarize themselves with 003. This may take months, the sea trial may start in the second half of the year.
J-35 appearance in recent naval promotional video. Very high probability that it'd enter service along with 003 commissioning.

076 expeditionary battle group. With an EMAL, technically 076 can launch a small sized manned aircraft such as J-35. But it'd require arrester hook to land such an aircraft. This is speculated, it remains to be seen. If the purpose of installing a catapult is to launch a heavy UAV, then arrester hook is likely to be needed anyway. So there's a fairly good chance that J-35 can be fielded onboard, at least when needed.
