I don't know about weight but looking at that photo there should be enough space for the 056 to have 6-8 AS/ShMs where it only has 4.

I also wonder if the 022s can carry the torpedo ASM and relay targeting info from the 056s as the 022 with its larger 8 missile capacity can better "afford" to carry a mixed missile load.
Yes this limited missiles load especialy in Asia can be surprising but almost all Missile Boats don' t have TL and even sonar in more small radars with a enough short range

.. but why all the self censoring, can this be a different variant, perhaps the elusive 054B.

I think the informal "rule" with pictures of unfinished ships is that they only show what can also be seen on a completed ship: so whenever a picture contains some details of the "inside" of a module it will be censored to avoid problems.

I see some have quoted from a source that says there are 30 056's commissioned, but from every other source the total is actually 29.
There were 27 056's in the fleet, prior to the recent 2 new commissioning's. Don't know where this ghost ship came from? :)
Anyway, according to Henri.K's build timetable of the 056, we should see some further commissioning's very soon, in which he also claims, based on current forecasts we could be looking at a class total of around 70 vessels.
