I assume 2019 would be for commissioning, not for launching ?

Ofc but new class ... and remains possible 2020.

It looks like the production is building on a lot of previous experience

We have two units confirmed and if they have 3rd and 4th almost ready for production it's a almost simultaneous build

You cannot do 4 CG builds without seriously knowing what your doing

latest pictures from november, with bow fully complete and covers up.

The temporary covers obscures the stern slightly but I think it is still poking out, so we can estimate the full length of the completed hull at last...

I'm getting an 055 to 052D length ratio of 1.1443, and given that 052D's length is measured on GE as 156.9m, I'm getting 179.5m -- essentially 180m. accounting for some measurement error, I'd say the total length is definitely between 177m to 180m

... and the beam now please? (or you wouldn't change it from what you said in Nov 1, 2016 maybe?)

no change in beam estimate.

the only reason we can now make a more solid length estimate is because the bow is fully complete and joined to the rest of the ship.

Check the 2 x LCAC still there !

edited with the sterns lined up.

Too bad the shelters are covering up literally the most interesting parts of the ship.
