Nah, there was a much clearer image months ago. What's more interesting is 7 hovercraft visible in the image

There is also a new Yuan Wang vessel there being fitted, and for those not familiar with a Yuan Wang, its a space object and satellite tracker.

Have we seen any phtos of initial se trials on the first unit yet...or did I completely miss those?

 

[Jeff Head]

I know this is late (from about 10 days ago). You get a clear view of the ship below the waterline, and also note the divider wall bisecting the dry dock.

All of these photos shwing the two Type 055s nearing completion at Dalian are very impressive. Particularly when you consider the others that are building elsewhere.

This class of ships marks the end of nearly 30 years of USN global domination.Interesting days

I wouldn't say that. USN still dominating globally for a very long time

Yeah let's not get irrationally exuberant here. It will yet take years/decades and more and varied assets than just 055s for the PLAN to end "USN global domination".

 

[2handedswordsman]

Don't get me wrong.I didn't said that PLAN will replace USN as THE global dominant force.I meant that PLAN imho can now question the USN dominance at the east pacific waters for example
