Word has it that 055 #1 has her hull number painted.

Awaiting confirmation from pictures.

while we wait for pictures with ddg 101 having its pennant number, here are some nice 055 CGIs of very good quality. We'll probably never get pictures of the real ship from some of these angles depicted, so CGIs are the best we have in some cases. The details seem consistent with much of the real thing as well.

Is the Z-20 officially designated to be the onboard ASW platform?

PLAN helicopters units comes from naval aviation and that could mean anything from Z9 to Z18

Although I would like to see 2 x Z18 in Type 055 with a rotary UAV

According to cirr at the PDF, DDG 101 Nanchang has left JN for her new home port.

101 Nanchang apparently has reached Qingdao. She's currently berthed across the Liaoning.
