Lol That was me a couple of years ago, when the cops did not really enforce the law on the food venue right across from the Huangpu Shipyard. You got loads of tourists coming out of the Whampoa Military Academy site flocking to that food venue street just to see the frigates under construction. Now the cops REALLY enforce the law, and they do check your ID is you stand idle on that same street for too long and not dining, or if you hold a smartphone facing the shipyard.

Either the ship has been moved, or the photo has been flipped horizontally.
I think the photo is ok. Otherwise the Chinese characters on the red banner above the bridge would look flipped.

Doesn't seem to be flipped

Understood. Just saw the other photos of the ship - They did move the ship around. Much thanks for the clarification!

Here's two more, alongside the 054A-mod for the CCG. Posted by

I am not sure if it has been mentioned before, but one aspect of the 054B that people might not be paying enough attention to is it’s range and endurance.

Having significantly greater endurance/reduced underway replenishment needs can be a massive benefit to PLAN CSGs and other surface combat groups with 054Bs in a hot conflict scenario, where ports and bases might be hit, and replenishment ships become prime targets for opfor.

Speaking of Replenishment at Sea, the 054B has 2 RAS stations amidships. Does anyone know if, in addition to receiving fuel, these stations are capable of providing fuel to other ships, or even USVs ?

Self-explanatory.
