Those pictures were taken before the ship got its pennant. Today, its either 568 or 570. I'm not sure why ships goes to the South Seas Fleet without a pennant, and only get their pennant there, while ships that goes to the North and East Seas Fleets get their pennants before they sail off the yards.

i'm not 100% sure on this, but this looks like the 3rd 054A from HD. At least it looks similar to the previous unfinished photos of that ship.

If the PLAN starts mass-producing destroyers with those box VLS tubes and phased array radars, that would go a long way to matching the Japanese Atagos and SK Aegis destroyers.

well, if I was right about the last picture, then this should be newer pictures of the 3rd 054A from HD.

do you believe the third 054A would be different from the previous?
