I thought escobar's last picture post indicated a 5th unit from LN?

Relatively speaking is the Chinese naval shipbuilding faster than bolt's WR on the 100m! I think they will complete the production runs of the types 054 (20+?) and 056(40?) first and then we'll see type 055 and indigenous carriers being built!
This will take approx. 3~4 years IMHO.

I don't see why they have to wait finishing 054 and 056 before start building 055, doesn't make sense.
BTW 18 or 19 056 in just over a year is just amazing achievement by any standard ..... hopefully the quality of 056 is up there, the world class corvette
well, HD and HP should be fine. The one you worry about is WC and LN. Especially LN, since they've only been doing repairs up to this point.
JN and Dalian Ship yards would be the premier destroyer builders. LN HP HD and WC typically builds frigate and below class vessels and specialized vessels.
the lead for 055 (if it really exist) would be JN. as it has the most recent experience. Dalian is struggling.
PLAN Seems to love JN's build quality not so so for dalian's products.
051C was really a life line for destroyer building in Dalian, but in all honesty the 2x 051C with S300MF is end of a line.
055 is not really ready to build.
if it uses the current sub systems on 052Ds (APARs and VLSs and Engines)., it would not be a major revolution in capability.
I don;t see any big ouhhh-ahhhhs mature enough (i.e. a big integrated shore testing deckhouse/mast combo etc)
to the point where it is ready for a experimental lead ship like the intial 052C pair
