Cool! As much as I like what our military guys and gals spell out, I'm impressed by all the flying things all over the deck. And I want someone to tell me where the elevator is that gets planes up onto the deck.

Check out this graphic, you can see all four deck edge elevators:

There are 4 deck edge elevators. In the graphic above, they are outlined in yellow and red alternating stripes. One elevator is on the port side (near side) and the other three are on the starboard side (far side). Two elevators are on either side of the parked jets. The farthest forward elevator is kind of hard to see, it's located just behind the island (tower structure).

It should be noted that the island structure here is a lot different than a Nimitz-class carrier. The island for this future carrier is much shorter and smaller than on a Nimitz-class carrier, and I don't know what the heck that pyramid-looking tower thing is just aft of the elevator farthest aft. But the elevators here are placed just as they are on a Nimitz-class carrier.
