I venture to ask if this:
... quotingSome quick observations and questions...
It appears the muzzle brake on the main gun is different or hasn't been installed (?)

Here is a about 055.
I don't understand why it quoted Russian media about the specification. It is not like it can be hidden for long, especially number of VLS can not be hidden. Tonnage and lengths etc. maybe.
Anyway, here is the spec used.
Length: 183 meters
Beam: 22 meters
Draught: 8 meters (full or standard displacement?)
Displacement (standard): 9000 tonnes
Displacement (full): 12300 tonnes
Top speed: 32 knots
Crew: 310
VLS: 64 + 64
The two guests did not comment on the specifications. They are 滕建群 (Teng Jianqun) and ?卫东. I can not figure out the family name of the second guest. Teng Jianqun used to serve in the navy and now is a researcher in international and military affairs, receiving special allowance from the state counsel.
