Yes there is 2 x Type 052D not annotated
Sitting infront of 2 x Type 055
But one question, DL launched 3 x Type 052D why one is back in the dry dock ?

Dalian launched a 052D via rail so the hull had to be flat. The 052D has probably been moved into a dry dock for bow sonar installation.

Ok this is a really interesting photo
We can see the construction stages in each section of the yard
I highlighted it to make it easy
Raw materials, modules and fabrication
All showing the supply chain, then the workshop next to the blue where modules are likely to be built
We can actually see in the red circle modules that are ready to be lifted next like we did with CV-17 construction
Overall from start to finish, the bottle necks etc this is how they are built amazing

We can see the superstructure of the 2 x Type 055 here in red and green
The red one is more complete and probably ready for lifting into the warship the red shows the 2 modules that will be fitted together to make one like in the red circle
Overall with clear enough photos and a well trained eye someone should be able to see if extra materials are there for further Type 055
As opposed to waiting for keel photos or even prior to launch !
We just don't get photos like this often enough amazing

How does the transportation of modules go? stuff circles by blue circle doesnt seem to have a way to be carried by a crane to the green circle. so those are all small pieces that can be carried by a truck cranes, forklifts, etc?
but then, within green circle there are two lines. left one has the large gentry crane, presumably for assembly of smaller parts into the big module. Right side has nothing, so perhaps right side also basically just a depot for very small pieces?
But then again, how does the finished module get transfered from the green circle to the red circle area? There arent any cranes visible that could lift them. there can't be any gentry crane overalp so there's no way for the small gentry crane that covers the green area to transfer anything to the red area where the two huge gentry cranes are.

Those overhead cranes are on wheels and they can move up and down as well as swing side to side
If not then they use transporters

Layperson question: why is it done this way? Isn't it more efficient to have everything below the waterline installed before launch and not having to go into dry dock again?
Rails are much cheaper than dry docks and if a shipyard has three dry docks but orders for five ships, two are going on the rails.

The pace of the construction is amazing, if this keeps up we can possibly see those 2 Type 055 being launched in the early part of 2018.
