Well, you have seen Hull 4 151 ZHENGZHOU at Dinghai for yard trials.

Expect Hull 3 150 CHANGCHUN to commission and Hull 6 153 TAIYUAN to launch in the near future.

All 4 new 052c (Hull # 3/4/5/6) other than 170/171 are launched earlier, isn't it??? and at current are under different level of trails.

furthermore, 2 more have been noticed under construction however not sure that they are 052c or 052D?

As you can see from what I wrote, Hull 6 has not yet been launched.

Hull 5 152 JINAN was launched 16 October 2011 and is now fitting out (delivery in 2013).

It is pretty sure that Hulls 7 172 and 8 173 are also 052C.

The 5th 052C, 152 will be commissioned in 2013, & will be named Jinan

Also A Rumor Suggested: 150 & 151 will be Changchun and Taiyuan.

I thought that DDG-151 was named the Zhengzhou. Any word on that?

re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer

any idea when the 150 and 151 will be commissioned? should be this year

also i think 153 should be launched this year

in addition if they up the work rate C7 and C8 can be launched in 2013 and 2014 respectively

all 6 should be commissioned by 2015, if 2 shipyards were doing the work we would possibly see all 6 commissioned by 2013 shaving 2 years off the run time

This looks like Hull 6 (153 TAIYUANG) launching from Way 1, with Hull 7 sitting behind on Way 2.

In picture 1 a WOCHI class minesweeper is seen fitting out. That must be Hull 6 that was launched in August 2011.
