Which part/s you like the most?

I really like it too, I think 054B likely be the best value for money vs capabilities .. obviously you can't compare the capability to 055 or even 052D which significantly more expensive

I think potentially huge improvement from 054A

"I want you to improve on the turret design
"How?"
"By making it more stealthy"
"Okay"
~~~ Some time later ~~~
"Have you done the improvement?"
"Yes"
"So how does it look?"

More from the academic paper on the RCS-reduction of the mantou-shaped turret design. Posted by @勤劳朴实罗素莉 on Weibo.

A 054B FFG spotted undergoing sea trials on the open sea by a fisherman. Location unknown.

The 1st 054B FFG has been spotted inside a drydock at the old Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard at Pudong in Shanghai earlier today. Posted by @WarshipCam on Twitter.

An image update.

What's this? Anyone got a better or more pics of this?

Could they be EW arrays?

Shenhua thinks they are active radar jammers.

Still no slanted launchers installed. I think this convinces me that that there is another VLS midship, hopefully universal VLS
