The Google Earth image, is that in Sanya? That during the Shandong's trip to Hainan? The two ships next to her are her escorts. The 052D must be one of the new Type 052D assigned to the NSF. The top looks clean and is not festooned with additional fittings like SSF Type 052D do.

You didn't translate it, lol
Correct me if I'm wrong, Model of AEW Z-18J on CV17 Shandong

Question, why just use a model/mockup?

Any word on why the Shandong is still at Dalian? After commissioning, the ship should be at it's home port. The only explanation that I can think of, is that the shipyard haven't completed the fitting out process. If that's the case then the commissioning ceremony should have been delayed.
