Where is the 2nd JN 055 fitting out / docked? When I was in Shanghai two weeks ago, I saw a ship docked on the Huangpu river that resembled a 055. It was very far away, so I could not tell for sure what type of ship it was, but the overall shape greatly resembled the 055 (mainly, the line that starts from the bow, sloping down on one side and sloping up on the other). There really is no other ship that I could think of that shares the same shape.

I believe you saw a Type 071. A Type 071 has a line similar to what you described. The shipyard in the Huangpu river pumps them out, and might be a new one that is on fitting.

That makes sense, the bow shape and lines do match indeed. Also saw a docked 053, it was much closer in distance to me than the 071 ship, wondering what it was doing so far up river.

It's been pretty tough. Been having to increase the pain meds...but the good Lord has more for me to do yet.

I have a couple of things that really interest me...geneology work for our family (going way bak now into the 1200s, and the model building, as well as getting ready to start back in on my next fictional book.

It really helps in these situations to have things that you can use to keep your mind focused on othr helpful and productivve things and not have time to worry about the other.

I really enjoyed putting the Type 055s tgether. They are awesome ships for the Chinese-PLAN, and hte US commanders know they have ti take them seriously.

Good to hear, brother. Seems like you have a few projects lined up. Yes, staying busy is the best remedy. Your Type 055s came together very well.

Doubt it was a 055 based on your description of its location. All 055s from JN are berthed in the Yangtze, not the Huangpu. If you saw a warship in the Huangpu, it was probably a 054A or 056 from Huangpu Shipyard.

How many shipyards are there is Shanghai? There is JN and HD. But Huangpu is not in Shanghai.

It gets confusing when Hudong Zhonghua is in the Huangpu River. So when you mean Huangpu, are you referring to the river or the shipyard? The shipyard named Huangpu is said to be in the Guangzhou area. In fact the full name of it is Guangzhou Huangpu Shipbuilding Company, just to make sure there is no confusion.

Note the shed on the right of the shipyard's picture. That's where many Type 054A and 056 were born. Not a big shipyard you can see, but it produces a lot of other smaller vessels for the PLAN like the SWATH type catamarans meant for sonar surveillance.
