On December 27th a 054A was launched, together with the 076. But obviously no one care about it now

Two 054A series hulls are in that dock. One is CCG, the other one a PLAN "AG" version. Both should be launched with Type 076, though I guess its possible at least the AG version may be floated out and returned (the CCG one was dressed up for launch).

Side by side comparison of 054A and a late batch 054AG. In addition to the new illuminators and optical turrets on top of 054AG's bridge, the bridge itself appears to be taller with enlarged windows.

The latest batch 054AGs fitting out, likely at at Huangpu-Wenchong. Notable differences compared to previous 054A/AG batches include the 100mm gun and the larger but fewer windows on the bridge.

The second picture is definitely Hudong on Changxing. You can just about see the Type 076 peeking into the picture on the right. Huangpu has different berthing that doesnt allow two FFG to line up like they do here. I am guessing the first one is too, just from a different angle.

D4mn it, I was meant to say Hudong-Zhonghua in the first place. My brain gone stalled when making the post it seems. Thanks for the correction.
