Those are small launch tubes. Any s class ship can launch from them, drones or fighters. The actual drone port on the colossus is on the lower hull of the ship.

Aircraft carrier Can Launch fighter at drone exit. only when Attack command.

Someone says they using small launch tubes. but that exit is too small for launch fighter.
when Another command is used it is not worked.

I tested "colossus e" but Other people says Another Aircraft carrier has that small launch tube execpt Tokyo and Raptor. so i wondering it is bug or make an intention.

Isn't a bug, this is the colossus' gimmick of rapid launching fighters from those launch tubes instead of from it's meagre 6 S landing pads. Unless you're saying there's a collision issue where they're not launching properly? But they seem to be launching fine in your screenshots.

The Xenon H can also launch fighters using it's side doors.
