Notably 156 Zibo is the first 052DL to enter service. The Sixth Destroyer Division doesn't have much 052D, only two previous to this.
The 6th Destroyer Div will have a total of 8 of 052 C/D destroyers by the end of this year
with pennant #150-157.
(4 of each subclass)

As I've said before.. Jiangnan ships are always faster than Dalian...

Its been for a while that Dalian has been losing its rivalry with Jiangnan. Add the purge on CSIC, and its merger with CSSC, which is more of being absorbed into CSSC's as CSSC management takes over the combined CSG's reins. We will see how Dalian can improve in the near future after this merger.

Floating decoys like Mk. 59 spotted on the 175 Yinchuan on the last two bottom pictures. So far this is the only 052D spotted with this. Floating decoys were originally a Soviet concept.
