That's a high resolution imaging radar, which can trace some large ships in real time.“The Chinese space laboratory has observed four different types of ship wake in the Yellow Sea using its imaging radar. This made it possible to check the validity of the theoretical simulation models, in particular on the closed angle V-wave and the internal waves.”

Above is the tweet of Henri Kenhmann (East Pendulum):
Question: What's the significance of this observation?
What's the possible practical application of this?
PLA Navy 70th anniversary is coming, and next month April 2019 there will be a Navy Parade to celebrate its founding 7 decades ago. The last Navy Parade was 10 years ago in Qingdao. The most exiting ship then was type 071 LPD, and this year we will see if the second aircraft carrier will join the type 055 lead ship in the parade.
To mark this occasion, I draw up a chart comparing 10 years changes in PLAN ships. (There may be error in type 056, E&OE). Though second aircraft carrier and the first type 055 are not in commission yet as of now, I expect their induction into service any time now to within next 3 or 4 months time.

We don't know, have to wait and see.Impressive ... but how sure can we be that both the 055 and 002 carrier will attend?
President Xi will be on Type 055 DDG at that moment.Impressive ... but how sure can we be that both the 055 and 002 carrier will attend?
Thanks for representing here the retro info of the so many years in the past. Haven't followed that long to ever learn this kind of infoThis is an interesting oldie post, at that time many Chinese members of CJDBY had doubts on the possibility of these becoming true. On April 26th, 2003, a poster predicted 15 years later i.e. in 2019, China will have:-
1. A nuclear powered aircraft carrier with 60 aircraft carrying capacity.
(No nuclear powered aircraft carrier, but by end of 2019, China is expected to have two conventional powered aircraft carriers with total of more than 60 aircraft carrying capacity.)
2) Two upgraded Kirov class nuclear powered cruisers.
(No nuclear powered cruisers, but one type 055 to be commissioned soon plus 5 more in pipeline, and two more to be built.)
3) Four Domestic version of Sovrnemmy II class destroyers.
4) Four upgraded type 052C destroyers.
5) Four upgraded type 052B destroyers.
(Six type 052C and eleven Type 052D in service, and more coming, including 052DL)
6) Four nuclear powered attack submarine.
(Number of SSN and SSBN is a state secret, but we do know the number of SSN is definitely more than four)
7) One Electronic counter measure ship.
(Eight or more type 813, 814A and 815 Intel ships)
8) Two large integrated replenishment ships
(Two type 901 AOR 45,000 tons Fast Combat Support Ship are in service)
