Sorry, I meant to ask: "is 052D (one meter) wider than 052C?"

Should be seeing a Type 052D launch before end of this year

We could also see DL launch their first Type 052D

So we could see a massive rally before this year is out to total 9 x Type 052D in the water

Add to that the 6 x Type 052C that's 15 top end DDG

Here's an image of the 1st 052D at Dalian under construction (apparently)!

Looks like some progress since the March and April photos, but Dalian is still pretty slow compared to JN.

Well, it would be the first for Dalian .... it will get better and better and it is indeed good strategy for PLAN to have multiple very capable shipyards, competition and redundancy is always good
