A bevy of new rumors have been posted by FZGFZY, which I have posted in the appropriate threads.

This particular one pertains to the PLAN in general:

Translation: "4+ aircraft carriers, materials for 12 Type 055s, at least 30+ Type 052D/Es"

Q: "It was originally said that there would be 6+ aircraft carriers."
FZGFZY: "Let's just say that it has already been determined."


Q: "Does the first batch consist of eight Type 055s?"
FZGFZY: "Eight is the figure that I stated many years ago (is now outdated). There are at least 12+, not too much since there is still the Type 055A."

Looks like we can expect a good few more 055s until they move onto the next variant.

I'd be interested to see a satellite photo of the DL drydock to see if modules for DL's no. #3 and #4 are starting to be assembled like the first pair or if they're changing it up and assembling #3 by itself.
