Just a nice screen capture from a video of the 3rd unit's launch.

Very nice


I think on the right side of the pic we can see modules for two frigates, presumably 054A/P units 3 and 4, sitting ready.

I expect they'll probably be assembled and launched simultaneously.

Depends on what other orders HD has that need to be fulfilled in a timely fashion.
They have an 071E for Thailand I think, and two 054A/Ps left.

There's also the issue of how 075 production will match with their relocation, and also if the subsequent five 075s will be an improved "075A" or not.

What kind of improvements would you like or imagine ?

Any guess on when we will start seeing them try to land a helicopter on one of them?

There is already plentiful tire marks on the first 075's deck down in Hainan base, but I don't know why they don't keep the helicopters on the top deck. Same for CV16 and 17, when these ships are at base, the planes were all cleared from the top flight deck.

To feed skeptic observers that the Chinese warships (CV, LHD) load few flying wings onboard?

2nd 075 already has landing markings painted on the deck.

You can see two bows of ships on the right, possibly for two 054A/P.

But what is the modules beside them? For a Type 071?

Look at all the high class real estate development that has grown around the shipyard. All this land is going to cost like its tiled in gold. If you are real estate billionaire mogul, they are going to be bidding for this shipyard when the time comes.

This looks like she's in Zhanjiang, still close by in the South China Seas. You can see some of the background ships, 052D, the 167 Shenzhen, Type 919 hospital ship, Type 815 elint ship, Type 071, maybe one of the AORs or a Type 901 AOE.
