Extremely doubtful that Fujian can reach FOC by 2027, given how she was commissioned not even half a year ago (by today). Reaching IOC in 2027 would be closer to a realistic goal.

Does anyone knows if 076 is a one off to test technologies for the next class the type 077?
Cause they are no indication that they are building more.

@伏尔戈星图 on Weibo seems to suggest that Sichuan LHD might be undergoing some form of modifications/upgrades to its diesel engine exhaust system sometime during its current long stay at Hudong-Zhonghua.
He is overthinking. I would think that the research of this paper was done long before 076 was built. Even without training in fluid dynamics, people with basic physic knowledge would not have chosen option a. Also common R&D process requires sub-system to be well studied and tested before integration. The test and improvement would go through multiple intirations until nothing can be done with available knowledge at the time of work.
076 LHD-51 Sichuan is said to begin her 3rd sea trials today (20 April). Posted by @琴石2022 on Weibo.
very similar
She's going to the SCS for sea trials
Though interestingly, they said "testing and training exercise" as opposed to just "sea-trial" previously
