The engine and other equipment use a lot of fresh water as well

I didn't say they don't, did I?
100L fresh water /day/sailor is conservative, it could be much less than that. Remember "sea water" could be used for a lot of things on the ship (e.g flushing toilet)... even with 100L, still 15 tonnes remaining per day

So it's actually 2 052Ds, 2 052Cs, 3 054As, and 1 056. Makes sense since I don't believe the third D has been commissioned yet. However, I do see a pair of turbine exhaust behind the middle 054A, so could that be one more 052C?
Definitely a huge gathering, was this for the recent exercise in the SCS?

A bit off topic .... actually those ships would be more powerful than most of the navies in the world (perhaps outside top 20 navies)

Actually it is as shown in the photo:

9th-Flotilla-Vessels.jpg

That's

2 x Type 052C
3 x Type 052D
1 x Type 056
3 x Type 054A

(Updated after clear evidence of 3 x Type 052D)

It is actually a D.

You can see the HHQ-10 just above the "574" marking.

So, 3Ds. Third one possibly is also close to commissioning.

GREAT eye...it is definitely there! Here they are then:

3xType052D.jpg

So that is then the following for surface combatants:

2 x Type 052C
3 x Type 052D
1 x Type 056
3 x Type 054A

I updated my earlier photo accordingly.
