The one on the compass deck is a photoelectric tracker and its view is pretty limited. A warning system should have much wider view or even eliminate blind zones. But I indeed don't have a solid proof for this.

There should be three EO in the front. One should be within the integrated mast tower, and appears only as a hole which it peers through. The second is on top of the bridge deck, and sits on top of the stalk, peering above the arrays. The third is on top and part of the Type 1130 CIWS itself.

They are beautiful Jeff, great job! We have a saying in Chinese: "心灵手巧者长寿健康". Meaning: those with ingenuity at their heart and dexterity in their fingers will have longevity and great healthy. God bless you!

Where is the 2nd JN 055 fitting out / docked? When I was in Shanghai two weeks ago, I saw a ship docked on the Huangpu river that resembled a 055. It was very far away, so I could not tell for sure what type of ship it was, but the overall shape greatly resembled the 055 (mainly, the line that starts from the bow, sloping down on one side and sloping up on the other). There really is no other ship that I could think of that shares the same shape.

Doubt it was a 055 based on your description of its location. All 055s from JN are berthed in the Yangtze, not the Huangpu. If you saw a warship in the Huangpu, it was probably a 054A or 056 from Huangpu Shipyard.

Not 054A or 056. Something bigger. More likely one of the Type 071 being fitted.
