The report mentioned the 6 052D's that we know of, and of a further 4 planned...................BUT we know 6 have been or are being constructed at 'JN' shipyard..............but what about the 2 which are supposedly being built at 'Dalian'.
Have we yet any concrete proof of this?
A big shrimp posted a very heavily doctored picture of what was supposed DL shipyard with a module meant to be for 052D, but naturally it was so doctored it might have been made on paint.
However, we've known for ages that they are going to build 052Ds at DL. If they really have just started, we'll know within six months at the latest.
And I think they're building 4 at DL, not 2.
@ Jura, please read the articles you post. That article cites Kanwa. Come on, you've been here a while.

Also, I think a mod should sticky both this thread and the 056, 054, 055, and two submarine threads. They're all pretty vital topics, worth to be easily found.

it simply very good ... I'd rate 052D in the top 10 destroyer in the world, perhaps even top 5
It is the best China has. Read from Wiki is a very good start, 95-99% accurate
I simply LOVE that first, head-on shot.
That's a money pic IMHO.
This one is one of my favorite Type 052D pics to date:
I am looking forward to seeing similar pics of 173 and other pennant numbers as they are commissioned and put in service.
