Yes, it has a hangar deck. ;-)
Given PGMs and standoff weapons an airwing with 26 strike aircraft (the rest being support: E-2s and helos) is fairly potent. Remember that the key number isn’t actually raw number of aircraft, but rather how many sorties the carrier can generate during the course of operations. There’s a point of diminishing returns where having more aircraft aboard lowers the number of possible sorties.
In contrast an American carrier can recover 20-25 aircraft in a single reccovery sending them all out of the landing area, through dearming and then to the bow. In the daytime that is one aircraft every 35-45 seconds. At night, one per minute.
