Apparently, the 17th 052d from Jiangnan ( 22nd in all) has been launched today, sharing almost no fervour with the 075 from Huangpu.
003 might be the highlight, but 052d are bread and butter of PLAN. They are required across a wide range of operations just like arleigh burke class for USNNobody cares about those destroyers now, including carrier #2. LOL Now all eyes are on carrier #3.
Then again, 052d can be deployed without carriers, but can 003 risk being deployed without its DDG escorts?
Question is what’s next ?

Why 9th? Six 052D and one 055, what's the other two?If confirmed, this will be the 6th of the class. in 2019, also the 9th destroyer of the year.
