Yes, 105 with one ship of the 2nd, which is 162, and the 9th, which is 172. Either this picture is taken before the exercise or after as 172 was with the China Russia naval exercise. Ship next to 172 is yet soon to be commissioned 052D extended, should be with the 2nd.

Ah that comment of mine wasn't about what the ratio of 055 and 052D should be, just noting that a carrier group could be something like that (from a video I watched), in reality things could change especially right now that there's only 2 carriers lol (both of those probably aren't gonna be going that far from the mainland either).

Yiu are right, but don't forget PLAN also has three LHD either in service or on the way, still there may be more.

And a third AC within 3 years, another one within ten years.

Personally, I think 3 LHDs is enough for now. Ships for sea-control and air-control would be more useful.
Plus I expect a new carriers every 5 years or less
