Given how only 4-and-a-half months had passed since the 054B FFG's launch at Hudong-Zhonghua, the speed of her fitting-out process is pretty damn impressive.

Also, @燃烧的哈尔科夫 said that this 054B FFG was photographed as she is returning from her first sea trials.

16 VLS or perspective? If 16 then it must be UVLS? I had bet earlier that it could be 32 VLS, the same kind as on previous 054A frigate.

Definitely 32 VLS.

Notice the middle bar-shaped exhaust arrays which are slightly protruding from the VLS cell cover columns (when viewed in the generally same direction as the photographer) and also straddling in-between the VLS cell cover rows.

Also, having two separate hinges for one VLS cell cover that are located on opposite sides is just plain illogical - How would the VLS covers even open lol?
