In the China National Defense and Military Channel of China Central Radio and Television, CCTV conducted an interview with Zhang Chuanqian, the head of a certain department of the "Fujian" ship. In the interview, Colonel Zhang Chuanqian clearly mentioned that the "Fujian" ship is the "first aircraft carrier equipped with electromagnetic ejection and arresting devices" of our army.

Bottom left of the picture is the MSC ship being delivered aka world's biggest container ship for now. This title seems to be changing every number of months lately, the last being an OOCL ship from same yard.

There might be two 052C on the fitting pool there.

Barracks ship has showed up near the Fujian. Is this one of the existing two or a new purposely made one for the Fujian? It could be deployed there to support the workers working on the ship like we have seen with the previous carriers.

Should be 88 or 89. Also, that giant semi-submersible ship really is huge wow. Wonder if when JN builds a new carrier, the modules would be carried into drydock via this vessel.

The comments from people below:
I see, the position where the blue shelf was first revealed has not been moved. I thought the high-definition one at the end of last year was the blue shelf. It seems that Jiangnan Shipyard really has at least two 055s.
@冷少其实不太冷:看到了,最早爆出蓝架子那个位置,原来一直没动啊,我还以为去年年底那个高清的是蓝架子这个挪过去了呢,看来江南实锤至少两艘55了

Probably. We have seen it carry entire ships like the 052C.

I could also see three new build LNG or LPG or ethylene carriers. The complexity of these ships makes them the pinnacle and pride of commercial ship building.

Should be 89, cause 88 is in Dalian nearby of Liaoning


What I love about the barracks ships is that they got a full basketball court on the top deck. Great exercise for the sailors and great recreation. Its going to help with the morale and health of the workers doing the fitting for the carrier.
