It looks like the third ship will be launched one year from now. They can launch one ship every nine months from that same dock if they want.

I’m not an expert on boat design. But from the side by side photos of 075 and 071, it isn’t hard to see the volume of this new ship is almost twice the size of 071. If the tonnage of a ship is closely related to the three dimensional volume rather than the two dimensional length and width, then I would say the full displacement of 075 should be very close to 40k ton if not more.
None of these images are very useful for measurements, but very roughly speaking, I am getting some 8% longer length than 071. Which would then be 227 meters. Keep in mind, due to perspective distorsions, that may very well be 6 or 10 percent. Wasp class is 257 meters long and Mistral class is 200 m long, for reference.
The angle of 075 is a bit different from 071. So if the length is estimated around 225m for the 075, then in reality it could be at least 230m...

Chilean Navy training ship Esmeralda (BE-43) moored next to the newly-minted Type 075. The vessel is currently in Shanghai for an international visit.
She was in Sydney a month ago, I watched her come in.
