re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
I see, but these ships that use Sylver are only using Aster-15/30. For MK-41, ESSM is the shorter ranged missile. On PAAMS ships, Aster-15 is the shorter ranged missile and it can't be quad packed. Which PAAMS ships still use Crotale?

re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
You definitely cannot put multiple SM/Aster into Mk.41/Sylver. They are just too big. But the shorter ranged missiles are an option. And the ESSM is more of a medium range missile. It has been designed to counter supersonic maneuvering antiship cruise missiles : , . Plus the added value of putting multiple ESSM in the one Mk.41
Neither Horizon or Daring class use Crotale NG/VT-1 (or VL-Mica). I haven't seen any navy deploy Crotale NG/VT-1. There are land based variant but not the VL naval ones. But the Sylver A35/43 are designed to carry either 1 VL-Mica or 4 Crotale NG/VT-1. Is upto the buyer.

re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
looks very nice indeed, theres a frenzy over Type 071, Type 052 and Type 054
PLAN bases must be extremely excited to recieve brand new ships of these classes, its exciting times for PLAN

Very interesting that 052C Hull 3 has already joined East Sea Fleet. That the first two would belong to that fleet has long been known, as well as the pennant numbers 140 and 141.
You may recall that in post # 920 you reported a very interesting rumour that all four would now go to ESF (whereas earlier Hulls 3 and 4 were scheduled to go to SSF as pt.no. 172 and 173).
And further the extremely valuable news that “Also: the East China Sea Fleet will also supplemented two 054A, 054 Series up to eight, the remaining two 053H2G a further transferred Wusong, 4 053H3 is transferred to Ningde,
Zhoushan, East China Sea Fleet base in the next year will form 4 ships of 052C, 4 Sovremenniy, 8 054 and 054A, 4 051's, a destoryer detachment will have two 052C, 2 Sovremenniy , 4 054 Series.”
The SOVREMENNYY I and the LUYANG II are probably moored at Dinghai-Yadanshan (30 00 34 N 122 03 55 E), which is where 6 Destroyer Flotilla with LUDA 131-134 is based (3 Destroyer Flotilla with SOVREMNNYY I/II 136-139 is based further west, at Dinghai-Yancang). This suggests that 6 Flotilla is reorganising along the lines indicated in your post.
