A 052D/DG (#163 Jiaozuo) docked at Casablanca, Morocco for resupply and recuperate. Not photographed is the 903A AOR (#906 Honghu) accompanying the DDG. Both ships are part of the PLAN's 46th Escort Fleet.
Do we know if they are doing some port tour ? Casablanca would make sense as a stop before crossing the Atlantic.

Archive from history - A bird's eye view of a 052C DDG, said to be of the 2nd batch. Posted by @勤劳朴实罗素历 on Weibo.

The photographer of this photo was affectionally known as 巡海大舅 in the PLA watching community (who worked in a China Maritime Surveillance unit). Sadly, he passed away in a helicopter crash in June 2016.

Updates on the flotilla.

Both warships have entered the Baltic Sea after passing underneath the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark.
