Sutton be screaming on Twitter: "Look! Five amphibious operation support ships with long Bailey bridges appearing out of literal nowhere at Guangzhou! China is about to invade Wanwan soon!"

China: "Dude, we've been playing with these things (though not the exact same models/builds) for years..."

Yes I know. I'm just being cautious by taking the lower-bound estimates for the full-load displacements of the warships into account:

003 CV - 80000 tons x 1 = 80000 tons
076 LHD - 40000 tons x 1 = 40000 tons
075 LHD - 30000 tons x 2 = 60000 tons
054AG FFG - 4000 tons x 3 = 12000 tons
Total = 192000 tons.

Of course, depending on how much tonnage the "余" in the official reporting are referring to, the actual combined displacements is certainly over 200 thousand tons.
There is a third 075 way in the distance at the back on the right hand side.

The impression that CV18 is small compared to type 075 and 076 in the photo is that CV 18 only has 1 empty space, i.e. aircraft hangar inside its hull, while type 076 and type 075 has 3 large empty space, i.e. well deck, aircraft hangar and motor vehicles storage/parking spaces.

And since the aircraft hangar deck is located above the well deck, type 075/076 appeared to be taller than CV18 visually if not actually. Thus despite having less than 50% displacement of CV18's 80K+ tons, and aided by the camera lens effect and angle of photo shooting, type 075/076 makes CV18 looks smaller than expected.
