are those 2 red ships Type056?
They're not. They look like tugs or supply vessels for oil platforms.
A supply vessel is relatively longer than a tug. so to me they look like tugs.

As to the nature of the two civilian vessels, may I trouble you gentlemen by asking you to look at post #914in the 054A thread.

Last time a good photo of that pile of boat parts was posted here it was clear that there were more than one ship type there.

going by previous pictures, those a tugs.
btw, there are many ships in that yard. We will only be able to acknowledge 056 when we see the first hull comes out. I might have jumped the boat on this one, but I do think a good number of this class will be built.

Roughly when do you think the first Type 056 will be launched?

To replace type 037 ? 40 would be too optimistic, in my opinion, perhaps 3 x 8 = 24 is more realistic
