That's two LCAC in the picture, correct? One on the left and one on the right in front of the 52Ds. I wonder if they built two more of those or if one of them is 3220.

both of them are new ones. also for 052D, the one the left should be the second and the one on the right is the first.

Well, Dinghai on Zhoushan Island, with 6 Destroyer Flotilla.

The two 052C are presumably 150 and 151, the two 054A 548 and 549.

The three JIANGWEI class frigates are 053H3 524, 053H2G 540, modernised with Type 99 twin 100 mm turret and belonging to 8 Frigate Squadron Shanghai-Wusong, and 053H3 565 or 566.

Reportedly, 565 and 564 are being transferred from 9 Destroyer Flotilla Yulin to 10 Destroyer Flotilla Lushun, so this might be 565 on its nortbound voyage.

Look at the missile system behind the main gun on 540.

Yes, as A. Man says, the HQ-61 launcher. What about it?

I find it regrettable that it was not replaced by a HQ-10 launcher when 540 was modernised at Shenjia, Shanghai, in 2012 and got the new gunturret. But PLAN obviously does not intend to put too much money into this 20 years old class.

I too was wondering that...it looks like its ready for active service....maybe just hasnt had the official commissioning ceremony.

One gets the impression that the 052C are very sophisticated complex vessels.........as even for the Chinese, it takes them quite a longtime to do the outfitting for these vessels.

150 hung out with 6th flotilla a long time before joining fleet, so 151 could be doing the same.
