Anyone else notice the scores of PLAN ships in the first photo ?

Pennant 821 which type of ship is this ?

There’s like 15 units there

Alors que les deux porte-avions chinois sont toujours à quai et sur cale, l'un des "paquebots" d'accompagnement a quitté le port de Dalian aujourd'hui pour de raison inconnue.

While the two Chinese aircraft carriers are still docked and on hold, one of the accompanying "cruise ships" left Dalian Harbor today for unknown reason.

I believe that ultimately the Liaoning is going to get the newer radar and have the island retrofitted. But time will tell.

Double them up

Double them up

The island on the new one is much taller, and the main radars are much higher. I hadn't noticed this.

Can anyone enlighten me why the hull and deck colours are different on both units?
