The 22nd Type 056 commissioned so far。A few more to follow in 2015.

Far more in years to come。

Well DL-D1, is an abbreviation here for DL (Dalian shipyard) - D1 (1st 052D Destroyer), therefore the shortform term, means the '1st 052D Destroyer, being built at the Dalian shipyard'

A question. How long usually the crew training take, before the ship is commissioned? And... if the crews previously manned an older ship with older technology, what kind of training and how long would it take before they can manned the newer ship?

Excellent pictures @cirr, but are we any wiser to knowing if this is an aircraft carrier or perhaps something a little smaller such as a helicopter carrier?
Are there any clues in the structure, that members here can make a judgement as to what the vessel will turn out to be?
