Looks like a Brit jump-jet carrier. Yes?

Yeah, I thought it looked like a Brit jump jet carrier as well.
They don't field Harriers.

Nope...that's the former Russian Varyag. Sister ship to the Kuznetsov. The Ukraine ended up with it and they couldn;t afford to finish it so they sold it to the Chinese...supposedly to become a casino. Then the holding company for the caisno wnet right out of business and the "presto" the PLAN ended up with it.
Here's pic of the Kuznetsov opertional:
