Are those module segments in the background another type 056?

This may seem like an odd comment, but the Type 056 has *4* "aft windows", which to westerners means nothing, but to the Chinese, doesn't the number 4 signify bad luck? I'm surprised they didn't design it to have 3 or 5 "aft windows" so it wouldn't have the unlucky number. You may laugh, but aren't there some buildings in China where there is no 4th floor because they believe in this sort of thing?

I meant that in China they sometimes skip the floor number 4 and go straight to floor 5, because living in "floor 4" is supposed to be unlucky, so if that's the case then would having 4 "aft windows" also be considered "unlucky", or does this kind of superstition only apply to buildings, not boats?

I hope the navy is past the superstitious stuff but I recognize other navies would have their own rituals as well. However, if you look at the aft all together including the rear sides, there's actually 8 "aft openings".
