If Saudi Arabia had a navy like this, they will be accepting all oil sales in Yuan !!

Just a nice image and nothing more.

From my observation: the 052D workmanship of Jiangnan Shipyard is far superior than the Dalian Shipyard.

Any image comparisons showing the difference in workmanship?

Cannot find obvious difference from my observation:

175 & 154 from Jiangnan：

165 from Dalian

Dalian shipyard update. Not sure when this was taken precisely, but it must have been this year.

Obviously after mid-March launch of the front two. Given the progress on the one on the right, perhaps May picture.

Some close-up images, taken from Lima 2023 and an open house event marking the 74th anniversary of PLAN.
