TType-054A has the number increased?
I remember there are several really good restaurants serving the Cantonese lap chong claypot rice (腊肠煲仔饭), so you could literally enjoy classic Cantonese street food and sip on a 600ml bottle of Zhujiang Beer, while watching those 054As and 056s slowing being pieced together. It would cost you no more than 20-25 RMB. Still, do not take pictures because the local PSB plain clothes officers are always on watch. The moment you raise your smartphone, someone would probably jump out and arrest you.

We already noticed that before. Months ago. There is a similar array on the last batch of Type 054A, but located differently under the Type 364 radar.
The array is present not just on 529, but also in 530. I like to see pictures of the other two ships of the first batch 054A. I think the array is experimental when installed on the 529 and 530, with the definitive version installed installed on the final batch 054A like 601 above. I suspect it is a new ESM focused on long range, long frequency. The elements are similar to the barbecue stick pole on top of the 055. Change of position from under the Type 382 to the Type 364 may be because the first position is unsatisfactory and affected by interference.
Wait, so the rumor is that the 054 under construction right now use pump jets?

Why are folks confident that this ship is the 31st 054A bound for PLAN rather than the third 054AP bound for Pakistan?
