Latest pic of 167. Looks like hangar is rebuilt taller, and there may be a new mast.

I think that the hanger structure is the same.

But it is clear that there is a potential for a pretty good refit of sensors and some weapons.

It will be interesting to see what they do.

DDG 164 was commissioned in 1987, so it may stay in PLAN service for another 2 or more years, will be replaced by a 052D then.

Is that a recent picture ? I could not find any information about 164 being upgraded, but that looks like it belongs in a museum.
I don't have a date, no modernised with 134 the two 051D, four others modernised with HQ-7 ( 32 SAM ), C-803 (16 ) 051G1/G2 : 165/166 and 051DT : 109, 110 then 6 Luda remain in service.

Yes no modernised because replaced by 052D logic and her 10th Destroyer flotilla* to Lushun will be the second to receive 052D after the 9th to Yalong Bay/Yulin which have now the first on a total of four.

* Luda 051D/DT 109, 110, 164 ; 054A 576 ; 053H3 : 527, 528, 564, 565
