CNN only a news media but not a military news agency , I would like to trust our Sinodefence.com , or others like Jane's .

The image is a god send. The best thing about it is what its not showing --- two Type 052Ds are gone. This means two Type 052Ds have gone to the sea, more likely on trials or they could have been delivered to the PLAN.

Well, since we have seen no builder's trials at sea even yet, but only pictures of them outfittting, it is most likely that the first one is perhaps out on sea trials...and the secodn too perhaps. But they have builders trils and then initial PLAN trials to go through before they are delivered...and then months of trils and development of specifications and operational strategies before they are operational.

That is the way these things work...for the PLAN too. They have done this with their carrier, the frigates, the other DDGs, and they will do so for the new ships too.

Contrairement aux Type 055 construits à Shanghai, où les radars APAR étaient déjà installés avant la mise à l'eau, ceux de Dalian n'ont que des caches à la place

Translated by google
Unlike the Type 055 built in Shanghai, where APAR radars were already installed before launching, those in Dalian only have caches in place

That's the general procedure at Dalian. When they launched the carriers the carriers didn't have their radars on.

The Dalian launched Type 055s did have a number of the radars on, notably four of the ones at the top of the bridge while the JN ones have eight on top.

A couple of grainy shots of Dalian from the air. A good comparison again between 052D and 055.

And here's an aerial view of Jiangnan.

Two 055s are now in the water. Zoom in onto the large basin in the full-resolution version, you can get a sense of how substantially larger the 055 is compared to the 052D.

China's real great: both speed and scale are amazing!
Look at the new huge production area (with a clear prospect to expand even further eastwards).
Nuke carriers production section?

I read that article but because it's old news so I don't bother to repost it here. Why do you call it fake news?

Because CNN has always been derided by Trump and his supporters as "fake news" ... if you go on CNN's home page, you'll realize a lot of anti-Trump headlines.
