055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

That launched ship in the background is a 052D.

Yes, but he wrote the one already launched is at JNCX. I don't think he was suggesting the 052D in the picture was an 055.

That launched ship in the background is a 052D.

I think he is referring to the two circled ships being built in the 3rd picture as the Type 055s.

Is there already any pictures of the first type 055 in the water ?

Again, I'm confident that there's only 32 VLS's in the mid. section. In this sense, the 055's firepower (excluding electronic warfare) would only be similar to that of an Arleigh Burke Flight IIA.
