Jiangnan is auctioning some subsystem for propulsion of H2616/17/80/85/86 whereas H2616 was thought be 052DL.

Indication on Jiangnan is also building five 052DL in the recent batch.

Some sort of award ceremony at CSSC for hard working staff, note the screen behind them with details about this "milestone 184"

• A vessel called H2616 was launched on 28th of December, launched with fitting out at 80% complete.
• 1*DQ, 2*D and 5*X26A to start assembly on time on the slipways within the year
• 4 vessels to begin construction, 2*X26A, the others blocked by judging from width of the text should be something like 2*D

I'm guessing DQ is 055, D is 052D and X26A is 726A LCAC.

With H2616, did we ever confirm a launch of 052D around that time?

The batch of 5 052DLs listed in the document are the ones currently under construction in Jiangnan, or do they belong to a new batch of 5 052DLs that will be built in Jiangnan in the coming years?
