Keel for the second unit are there
These days keel of a ship is the first base plate module of the ship to be lowered into the dry dock
6 June.
Also, good eyes spotting the keel. Perhaps the stern modules shown in the pictures aren't for #2 after all.

That makes a lot more sense, thanks. I always forget about the hurricane bow.
At the very least, unemployed. Not very smart of including himself in the picture.
Missed the 10 minute limit for edits. Anyway, launch H2 2019 is too soon. But, I don't know how complicated an LHD is when compared to the LPD. IMO, going by Wiki (yes, I know it's not very reliable) H2 2020 is more likely.
I think it's a bit early as well, but the rate that they're working I'm not sure if I can rule it out; i.e. a late December 2019 to January or February 2020 launch seems feasible to me.
I recall that the first modules of the lead 075 were only sighted in drydock in march this year, and in the space of some four months they've already come this far.

Turkish shipyard laid first keel in Feb 2018 and launched 12 months later for their LHD
LHD is not that complicated basically adding blocks together
HD pumped out 2 x LPD in 12 months
they will have this unit launched by late this year and by next year both these units will be in the water
my only question is what is the order books say, is it 2 x Type 075 + 2 x Type 075A?
