Not sure about railgun. But they are definitely moving onto Type 055A now which should have IEP.

China already started testing railgun on Type 072II landing ship

055 no. 2 Lhasa --- is this ship #102 --- might have been commissioned already.

Hopefully we may see one soon enough. It does feel that 075 is being fast tracked for commissioning. With the new dry dock in Hainan, there is no longer any need for any of these ships to head back to their home shipyards for any repairs, adjustments, and retrofits.

One of Dalian's 055s has been spotted in Hainan.

What kind of useless statement is this?

China's 055 isn't some mystery vehicle. Plenty of people know it exists. Us Chinese are the most avid PLA watchers on the planet! Where do all the photos on this site come from huh?

And what retard in Hainan would think the ships they see off the beach are American destroyers? Do they just willfully ignore that there's a giant PLAN base right next door?

Jesus.
