Sure has a high freeboard. how many decks does she have between waterline and flight deck.
You should see the Canberra aka Juan Carlos class, it look like if may not be stable in rough seas but then again the engineers I am sure would have done their home work.

Looking more and more like China's version of the US naval base in San Diego as the PLAN continues to grow.A sunny day at Zhenjiang Naval Base.
And finally some newly released old images.
Can someone identify the sensors and radars on the ship? Im gessing thats the Type 382 air radar on top.Here's the version minus the printed words.
Type 382 with a TACAN on top, like that in the Liaoning and Shandong.
Rear is a new radar, dual sided, one side has a different angle than the other. This replaces the ubiquitous Type 364 used in previous ships, which is used as a surface search radar. However, the angle on one side points to the sky more which suggests it also can be used as a air search radar. The rumor is that it is dual banded AESA under the label Type 383, one side an S-band with a 350km range and the other an X-band with a range under 120km.
The rest of the electronic equipment are like those seen with other ships.
Bar shaped IFF typical with 052D.
Typical Type 726 EW suite. 726-1 and 726-2 ESM units are paired on the mast. However, the 726-1 and 726-2 ESM units have new modifications from previous installations not seen before. 726-3 ECM and 726-4 DLS are located in the ship's hull.
A set of four small phase arrays installed under the 726-1 ESM in trapezoidal housings. Could this be part of the EW suite? IMO, this is the ship's CEC. There are similar installations on the Liaoning, Shandong and 055. The phase arrays should be rectangular but the housing is trapezoidal to decrease RCS with the slanted sides.
Has a pair of new navigation radar I have not seen before. Bet you its solid state.
Set of SATCOMs.
A pair of R2D2 shaped ESMs. We have seen those with other ships, typically with newer 052Ds and its been refitted on 052Cs.
A Type 349 radar in the rear. Typically a Type 349 is used as a CIWS radar but in this case, it is being used as landing radar. A pair of Type 349 is also used as landing radars on Liaoning and Shandong.
