The photo is completely self censored though, so it ain't very useful.

But this is to be expected, and we've been predicting DL to start 052D production for months.

So DL will do 4 hulls out of 12 before moving onto 055

Is 055 for Dalian, JN or more likely for both since both are now building 052D.

Maybe we see two 055 coming out first batch, one from DL and one from JN?

DL hasn't have the experience with heavy warships or enjoy the same degree of trust/confidence of the PLAN high command as JN.

The First 055s will be built in JN, with DL taking over production of 052Ds when the design and production procedures are fully developed to maturity.
