JINAN — The Nanchang, China's first Type 055 guided missile destroyer, was commissioned in the People's Liberation Army Navy on Sunday morning in the port city of Qingdao, East China's Shandong province.

The 10,000 tonne-class destroyer officially debuted at the multinational naval parade in celebration of the Chinese navy's 70th founding anniversary on April 23, 2019.

Not counting those onboard the ship, I counted 1,600 sailors, about 50 NCO(?) and about 20 top ranking officers standing on berth. Are they all from the same destroyer squadron, or are they all seamen for the six type 055?

Edit: My mistake, total of 800 sailors.
