Besides Type 075 LHD, Type 055 Heavy Destroyer, Type 094A SSBN.

One other thing, also on the same day the 19th 052D Destroyer was commissioned elsewhere, PLANS Kaifeng, DDG-124. Been a good month for the PLAN, considering another 052D was also commissioned on the 12th April.

Is this true?
If true, amazing indeed

Actually, just noticed that Chinese WIKI has changed the service date of 052D "Kaifeng" from the 23rd April to the 16th April. A few days prior to this, 052D "Nanning" entered service on the 12th...............so yes this info is true as we know it.

The badge design of DDG-165 Zhanjiang (湛江).

So fast! Are they already going to commission the ship soon?

Zhanjiang is the name of one of the last of the two Ludas that was retired. It is also the name of the naval base and city where this destroyer was assigned. The new ship is retaining the same pennant as the last Zhanjiang had and will return to the same base.

Any indication of what's next after the 25 O52D.
Will it be more 052D or a newer design 052E?
