re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer

D3 should be launched soon, hoping its in May/June and then D4 before this year is out probably squeezing in D5

or we may se D3 and D4 launches quite close to each other in the summer with D5 coming at the end of the year, this is the likely scenario

From 'escobars' pictures on previous page.................can someone clarify the status of Destroyer 'C4'........as I thought this ship was awaiting commissioning only now, and was shown in other pictures to be with fleet with the newly commissioned 'C3'.

Has 'C4' gone back to shipyard for final touchup jobs, so to speak?

Since JN is using both halls in parallel for DDGs construction hence, there is very likely scenario that D3 & D4 will be launch soon in coming months.

So, IMO the trend will be 2DDGs group launches in future from JN.

It could be maintenance repair or some minor break to give those machinery and workers a some well deserved r & r perhaps?
