The above are 'full size carriers.' Actually that is a far better moniker than 'catapult carrier' because the main thing about them is they have full-size decks while VTOL carriers have short decks.

actually it isn't. The alternatives are

1. CATAR: catapult take-off, Arrested landing

2. STOVL: Short take off, Vertical landing

3. STOBAR: Short takeoff, but arrested landing

US carriers, Charles de Gaulle, Sao Paulo are CATAR
UK carriers, Princep de Asturias, Guseppii Garibaldi, Chakri, Viraat are STOVL
Kuznetsov is STOBAR

but it's not a function of deck size. The new British Future Aircraft Carrier will be the same size as the Kuznetsov, bigger than CdG, Sao Paulo, but will be STOVL.
Which is actually a better system than STOBAR, but in practice is restricted to a single aircraft type,(Harrier now, JSF in future), whereas STOBAR can operate any high performance jet a CATAR can, at slighly reduced take-off weight (maybe 80% of max Catapult weight)

Also the Russians are keeping the Kuznetsov (Midway, UK CVF sized), what they have sold to india is the older STOVL Gorshkov (Charles de Gaulle sized),
which will be converted to STOBAR.

Also a gleam in the Indain navy's eye: the STOBAR ADS

One would think that the Russian carrier would be pretty fast at launching aircraft, except there is only one spot to take off from. Even with having to hook up to the cat, U.S. boats have four catapults. You can't shoot all four simultaneously, but you can shoot pairs (one from the bow, one from the waist).
I do hope some the "crash and burn" videos make it out from China and India. It will be pretty tough to skip decades of carrier aviation and jump straight into today's jet aircraft.
