High-tech Armed Forces need first-rate professional NCO Corps, and I hope China develops them for all her branches. NATO had hardware advantages over the Warsaw Pact, to be sure, but that was secondary to the West's better-trained personnel and its professional NCO Corps.
I do not think they are actually wood...just made to look like it.
Interesting, looks like the Project 956, PLAN DDG-136 Hangzhou got the white block letter pennant number.ESF flotilla in W Pacific

Good catch, anyone keeping track of which vessels already have the white pennants? Wonder if they add up to a CVBG?

Chinese Navy already said that all ships will have the numbers.

It is only LIAONING and a selection of East Sea Fleet ships, ranging from the destroyer 136 to a humble water tanker, that have had the awful white pennant numbers.
In the present task force, 136 is the only one to have them, while 139, 525, 529 and 882 have black pt.nos.
I doubt that all ships will get them: When finishing its refit at Shenjia, Shanghai, in April this year, 625 had the white pt.no., but now it has obviously changed back to black.
