Just curious about the LAST picture, the two parts seem to have different VLS designs. The top one is the newer design, while the bottom is the older one ... is it correct?

Just curious about the LAST picture, the two parts seem to have different VLS designs, I mean the covers. The top one is the newer design, while the bottom is the older one ... is it correct?

The top one is from Type 052C DDG, while the bottom one from Type 052D DDG.

Because just on 07 May, Henri Kenhmann (East Pendulum) tweeted as follows:

The difference between Type 052D (top) and Type 052C. The leading ships of these two destroyer classes were launched 9 years apart. When the Type 052C has only 6 copies, the 24th Series 052D has already appeared, and it's not ready to stop.

"appeared"... means more "being made known"

My own bad interpretation or remembrance thus came out erroneously with the 25th & 26th
