uh, the radar and ESM on the 52D was tested on a test ship. How can they tell if a P3C is around if they don't turn on a radar if the plane is more than 100km away?

You confuse 'turn on radar' with the entire suite of functionality a modern integrated electronic system on a warship has.

Also, here's another hint.. Maybe, just maybe, there are other radar systems China could use to spot enemy intelligence gathering assets! Yes, I know, China has more than one set of radars!!!!!!!!

Yeah.

And just which major surface combatants use such laser dazzlers anywhere?

When you are trying to hit a small, fast moving target like a tank, attack helicopter or fighter, a moment's loss of contact has a good chance to spoil the shot. But with a big hulking warship, a dazzler isn't likely to cause a missile to miss by enough to matter. Which is why warships have decoy launchers that disperse a large cloud that completely obstructs the ship and surrounding area.

an excellent photo of 052D with the various subsystems pointed out.

That 130mm gun is massive.

Can't find a pic without the arrows and labels yet though.

Also this one, which is very resolute and detailed for the Type 052D systems from the aft port quarter:

These are going to be very capable guided missile destroyers. With three in the water and the 4th building, it will be interesting to see how many are actually built. I believe 12 will be built, but time will tell.

I firmly believe that 16 will be build.

That would be a significant build. with those 16, and with the six 052Cs, that would be 22 very decent area-coverage, multi-role, air defense destroyers.

Add to that the apparent 24 Type 054As and you have a very modern, very capable surface combatant fleet.
