Interesting. I have seen the catamaran that was lying next to Nan Ce 430 identified as Dong Ce 232, but no launching.
It appears that it has been in the water since at the least early September.
Nan Ce 429 is reported to be operating in the South China Sea.

Really off-topic in this thread, but Hull is Dong Ce 232 (pennant numbers now painted). Hull sections indicate that there will also be a Hull 4.
I think we can include that as part of this thread. That is any of the scientific research ship, since we don't really have another thread for this stuff.

Then I will put in that Nan Ce 430 has moved across Pearl River to join the SSF Ocean Research Ship Squadron in Guangzhou...

These boats are for China Maritime Safety Agency (MSA).

Well, techinally speaking, there is the Yuzheng 88....
True, but the articles and rumours in question do a talk about cutters specifically, not replenishment ships.
There's a rumour apparently that four rather than two 12,000 ton cutters might be built.
