Dragon Nest shipyard ? Is that the real name ? Sounds very strange for me ... but see the size of the shipyard in photo, it seems can build type052D DDGs.
 
Anti-subs system of 056 corvette? The pic shows missile launch to 'kill' enemy subs, what kind of missile?
As far as i know, China has only one VLS-launched rocket-boost anti-sub torpedo: Yu-8 / 鱼-8 on type054A FFG
... but until to now there's still no any clear photo of Yu-8, a secret torpedo in PLAN.

Flight deck of China's first indigenous carrier almost complete

Satellite imagery captured on 10 July reveals that most of the flight deck has been installed on China's first indigenous aircraft carrier (CV), the Type 001A, which is under construction at Dalian shipyard.

The Airbus Defence and Space image shows that significant progress has been made on the CV's hull since the last time construction was observed in late May 2016. For instance, between 17 May and 10 July most of the starboard and port flight deck overhanging sections were installed. The only significant flight deck component still absent was the bow's ski-jump section.

The rapid installation of significant hull components throughout the Type 001A's construction is due to China's modular construction process.

As far as i read news, this year September or October Type001A will launch ....:coffee:
 
Once all works that need facilities of dry dock is completed, 001A should be able to be launched. All other works can be done while 001A is berthed at the pie. Dry dock thus freed can be used for construction of other ships.

Major work yet completed are (1) last pc of angle deck (2) pontoon at the bow next to angle deck (3) ski ramp (4) island and (5) engine/boiler (the big hole at flight deck).

(1), (2) and (3) above can be completed within one month, (4) above in another month, (5) above not sure but expected very soon. Then after that, the ship need to be painted before launch. All in all, hopefully before October 1st.

Then one and one half to two years spend on fitting out, another year on sea trial. 2019 commission.

Then again, with China speed, commission could come early in 2018.

Latest news on the 052D Destroyer class.

It is being reported that a module of another 052D has appeared at the JN shipyard, reportedly said to being that of the 10th said vessel at that shipyard, and so far 13th overall.
The Chinese, are sure building a formidable surface fleet, and by 2020, all of the Luda class should of been retired by then.
