And new paint on the rear

That's quick work, so the fire damage is not as bad as first thought.

It looks like it is ready for sea trial.

windows aren’t installed, bridge and flight control equipment and electronics are therefore probably still missing.

This was taken shortly after its launch.

I think you are right. That Type-071 unit has not been parked behind the lead 075 for a while.

But it's so strange...

Here's an image taken about six days ago (or so I believe). Notice all the close-in weapons are missing (marked by red arrows):

Here's an image taken shortly after the launch (from last September). Mysteriously, all the close-in weapons (or stand-ins) were in place and wrapped in dark green tarp, as indicated by the red arrows.

This was the source of my original (mistaken) claim: what I thought was the re-appearance of close-in weapons wrapped in orange tarp.

The white plume is unburned fuel - when starting an engine. The dark plume is normal engine running.

Agree with the white-plume explanation, but the black smoke is caused by a very rich fuel-to-air ratio typically seen at acceleration.

Update from space... There appear to be two ships under construction in the large dry dock. Does anyone know what they are? Is the smaller one 054A destined for Pakistan?

I think the smaller one is 054AP and the bigger one is the 071E for Thailand

Rear ramps in various states of being open, semi-open, closed, and semi-closed.
