^^^^In the top pic you can make out the front CIWS gun partly hidden by one of the trees.

Someone counted 5 barrels instead of 11 on the CIWS, but with same outer shape as 1130. So I'm wondering if they simplified the model and why would they do that as it is not that more complex to model 11 gun barrels if you are already doing 5.

Also tell us some one is close enough to the ship to count the number of barrels. Another pic:

In case you are wondering the difference in colour is due to paint not because there are two different surfaces.

Someone is hiding goodies and teasing us with low quality pics.

Why would they put the CIWS on the same level as the main gun? Doesn't that block the front 20 degrees of the CIWS' field of fire?

It is on a slightly elevated platform, the photo angle gives the illusion they are on same level.

Latest rumours say that the 055 will only have 112 VLS cells. Hope that it is not true, since it would be a letdown for a 12.000 ton ship.
