An someone knowledgeable about carrier operations tell us if the a Chicoms can launch multi plane air strikes, recover, rearm and relaunch continuously for multiple days like The US Navy can? I suspect they are not really trained up for heavy ops.

Ski-jump carriers can’t launch strike aircraft with heavy payloads of fuel or ordnance. They’d have to push their carriers in close inviting a counterstrike, while their own strikes would be inconsequential.
