what matters is your Today at 9:09 AM question:

who exactly are they?

Yes, I am quite curious. What do they do in other countries when they commission a ship? Do they sent sailors from other ships to attend the ceremony?

A side note on commissioning of CV17, a female sailor said during an interview that she was shore based for 4 years before she was finally posted for duty on CV17. So could these sailors are also waiting to be posted on some new ships?

Another possibility is that they are navy cadets from navy universities and training academies.

a thought occurred to me now: a Cruiser Squadron!
the PLAN First Cruiser Squadron, based in Jiangnan, meant as a SAG, established in 2025
LOL!

A couple of questions.

1. Does anyone know the purpose for those square hatches around the ladders in the superstructure between the smokestacks?

2. Do we have any footage from the inside of the ship? Like crew quarters or toilets etc? Any footage from Type 052D perhaps?

Looks like maintenance hatch of some sort?
