They actually moved her out of the naval base and sent her to a civilian dock for Nikolai Yevmenov's visit. So that she'll be on her own and not parked in a row with Liaoning, several 052D, assorted subs etc so as to seem like PLAN is trying to rub it in.

.....ever heard of compressed perspective due to using a telephoto lens?
They are quite near on the side view too... a hot launched missiles will certainly be prone to spray the radar of the CIWS with his rocket fume. It's why I ask if they are cold launched. Found a link where we see cold launch from the front and hot launch from the back of type 055. So I found my answer. Radar are delicate things, it's why I was surprised by the proximity.
