Likely similar dimensions to a Mk.41 cell, given that HQ-16 missile is similar size to a Standard, but the depth cannot be deep, not more than 6 meters. Given that the the H/AJK-16 VLS block managed to fit inside a Shtil missile cache, when the Project 956 Sovremenny gets refitted with this VLS, I think the depth might be around 5.5 meters. The best equivalent to it would be the Self Defense version of the Mk.41 that is limited to 5.3 meters, and can only use Standards, ESSM, maybe ASROCs but not cruise missiles.

I don't thing Pr.956 is indicative in this case, it has 5.2x5.2x7.4 magazine.

One of the original two Type 054s (525?) is now in dry dock for overhaul and upgrade.

I am very intrigued how they will pull this off.

There is a datalink or SATCOM antenna that was installed on top of the hanger while the ship was still in service and it was left there while everything else was stripped out.
