Not exactly a breaking news per-se, since we already know about the 4-5x 052DLs + at least 1x 055 (not mentioned) under construction at Jiangnan Shipyard some time ago.

Just a brief mention on the updated Google Maps satellite imagery of Jiangnan Shipyard, dated 27th May 2023.

Sidenote: There should be at least 12 (or even 20(!), according to @iantsai sometime ago) new 052DLs and 8 new 055s for the 2021-2025 construction batch of major surface combatants across Jiangnan and Dalian.
Continued.

After Jiangnan, now it's Hudong-Zhonghua and Huangpu's turn (from August and July, respectively).

It should be noted that the 054A FFG's serial production for the PLAN should have already ended with the 40th unit of the class, with any subsequent 054As built being a modified design that are meant for the CCG.

Though, regarding the #2 in this (Huangpu) photograph (which clearly isn't in the CCG livery) - Isn't the 40th unit of the PLAN's 054A FFG already underwent sea trials and close to being commissioned?

As previously mentioned, the #1 and #6 in this (Huangpu) photograph should be the modified 054As for the CCG.

Besides, an interesting note on #3 - Could either be yet another CCG's modified 054A, or a new (4th/5th?) 054B unit. Have to wait and see.

Similarly, for this (Hudong-Zhonghua) photograph, the #1 should be a modified 054A for the CCG.

*CCG = China Coast Guard

Go China, go! Keep up with the humantarian works for the poorer countries in the Pacific and elsewhere! Some Western countries will say you want to have your naval presence. Let them smear because they are purple with bias and jealousy , but facts are there to prove and to see!
