oops
LOL I misinterpreted the sentence

Workers are installing conduits and cables in the 10,000-tonne vessel, Zhou Xin, a military representative stationed in the shipyard to oversee the building of the warship, was quoted by the People's Liberation Army Daily as saying.

then it should be possible to finish Jul 15, 2017
with:
nine to one when rounded

I'm currently getting a L:B for the 055 of 182m x 21.1m when compared to a nearby 052D, assuming the length of a 052D is exactly 157m. On a side note, it looks like if the length of a 052D is 157m, then the beam is definitely wider than the oft-quoted 17m. It is more like 18.5m.

OK let's use three significant digits LOL
182/21.1 = 8.63

quickly pulling numbers:
Jul 15, 2017

Just as a comparison, the Daring has a L:B ratio of 7.2:1, the Zumwalt is 7.3:1, the Horizon is 7.5:1, the Burke is 7.7:1, the Atago is 7.9:1, the 052D is 9.2:1, and the Tico is 10.3:1. So either 8:1 or 9:1 for the 055 is not going to raise any eyebrows, though clearly the trend is a lower L:B ratio with many of the more recent ships.

Jul 16, 2017

my point (which I didn't say) has been with L/B of 9:1 the Type 055 would be a typical Cruiser, as in
186.4/20.8 = 8.9615 of the Slavas

EDIT
it seems L/B now "converged" to (two significant digits now LOL) 8.6

anyone?

Really ? As far as I can tell, the picture in the news clearly shots 6 x 8 vls in the middle and 8x8 in the front, which makes 112.

Yeah true, the picture's pixles are pretty blurred. That was the cause.
