Looks like a tanker to me, not an LST.

Sorry, I've just translated a good article, its a detailed summary of the new version of the naval ship naming regulations and the reform and adjustment of the ship's name and pennant number since 2021. Can I publish it here? It's a long article.

A recent view of the Dalian Shipyard site at Dagushan. There are 3x DDGs currently under construction inside the drydock, with the hull situated deeper into the drydock likely to be a 052DG, after some rough measurement on Sentinel and Copernicus. The other DDGs are one 052DG and one 055, respectively.

It has been anticipated that the first hull modules of the CVN will be moved into the drydock once these 3 DDGs vacate the drydock, although said hull modules are likely still being fabricated inside the assembly halls right now.

Excellent news. I wonder when the modules can be verified as definitively CVN modules though. Probably not for a while—remember how some idiots were still claiming 003 would have nuclear propulsion for ages?
