4 SHIP BUILDING AT SAME TIME,........OMG.
that's nothing surprise to the Chinese shipbuilding sector.

For example, China's Jiangnan Shipyard is currently building four units of Type 052D destroyers, two units of Type 055 destroyers, two units of Type 039B subs simultaneously. I.e. 8 naval ships building at the same shipyard at the same time.

The naval ships building activities in China's Dalian Shipyard is even LARGER

Chinese shipyards do what most cannot : produce massive numbers of vessels while simultaneously having high quality control. There has been an enormous improvement in PLAN shipbuilding over the past 5 years ... and you can expect this trend to continue in the next 5 years. Only in the future, you won't just be seeing destroyers and submarines being built at such a pace ... but also replenishment ships, nuclear submarines (095 and 096), and LHD's.
 
055 and Burke comparison. Not 100% accurate at details but overall length seems

to what we know. ~180m and 155m


What Burke series is it? Looks like IIA; note helicopter hangar and aft SPY-1 array [Rick Joe]


My fav shot of the 055 from the recent news report. Really shows the length of the ship and the size of the helipad

Who's Rick Joe?
I write about Chinese military shenanigans now and then at plarealtalk.com

shenanigans (plural noun, informal) means "secret or dishonest activities that people find interesting or amusing" (Source: Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries)

The very first Type 055 destroyer to be christened Nanchang 南昌, with hull number 101.

Nanchang 南昌 is the capital city of China's southeastern province, Jiangxi, and has the high significance as the birthplace of the People's Liberation Army (i.e. the Nanchang Uprising in 1927), it's also called "the City of Heroes".
