Yes PNS Nasr is a variant of the Type 905 it's getting replaced soon by a Turkish designed tanker built at Karachi, maybe a replacement or maybe a addition I don't know yet so I would think that PLAN maybe also wants to replace these older Type 905 tankers too
3 under construction at GSI ?

Supposedly one is a Type 904? But yes three tankers one of the three looks different from the stern

pretty sure they only have 1 other Type 903A at GSI.
I believe the current PLAN large AOR ships (both commissioned and building) are:
Type 905 Fuqing Class 21,750 tons
881 Hongzehu - Commissioned 1980
882 Poyanghu - Commissioned 1982
Type 904(A) Dayung Class 10,975 tons (16,500 for "A")
883 Yangcheng - Commissioned 1992
884 Jingpo - Commissioned 1992
888 Fuxian (A) - Commissioned 2007
??? ?????? (A) (Building)
Type 908 Fusu Class 37,000 tons
885 Qinghaihu - Commissioned 1996
Type 903(A) Qiandaohu Class 20,500 tons (23,000 for "A")
886 Qiandaohu - Commissioned 2004
887 Weishanhu - Commissioned 2004
889 Taihu (A) - Commissioned 2013
890 Chaohu (A) - Commissioned 2013
??? ?????? (A) (Launched 2014)
??? ?????? (A) (Building)
That's ten commissioned, one launched, and two more building. That will be 13 all together, but the Type 905 seem pretty old and will probably be replaced at some point by the new builds.
Does this look right to you guys?
