Those 052Ds in Dalian look finished, if somewhat lonely. They are low in the water line which tells us they are fully equipped.

Dafeng Cao tweeted that two of the 052Ds are of a different kind. What different? The length of the ships are extended to accommodate the Z-20 helicopter.

Latest terraserver satellite image of JNCX showing a new 052D under construction (#18?)

Henri K mentions that new 052D actually has elongated helicopter structure (don't know if helipad or hangar). But I can't even see a 052D in that image with a visible top deck. Only that empty, half built hull is visible so far...

The 17 x Type 052D at JNCX clearly has a larger deck

No doubt hanger can also then take naval Z20

To be honest considering it’s size I always thought the deck was a bit small
