DDG 174 was commissioned in December last year; it is the 3rd 052D in service with the Navy.

DDG 175 will be the fourth 052D in the Navy, and it has yet to be commissioned.

Thank that is what I thought I haven't keeping track of type 52D inventory. It take them a long time to commission 175

true very long time ... over 2 years ... but it is almost the same as the previous ones .... even 173 took almost 3 years to commission

But there is no need to rush, I'd rather take longer ... just to make sure everything is fine and works as designed
