It looks though DDG 167 “Shenzhen” is going to end up with VLS after all：

Also note the raised helicopter hangar

My wish list：

76mm main gun
CJ-10 X 8
YJ-18 X 8
HQ-9B X 32 or HQ-16G X 48
HQ-10 X 24
CWIS 1130 X 2
New radars、electronic、control and command systems etc

Raised Hanger? Are they going to do a Type 051C style by converting hangars into VLS?

PLAN plans to create three additional destroyer & frigate detachments - one for each Fleet - 24 capital ships in total。

So the PLAN is not only replacing old and smaller ships with new and bigger ones，but also undergoing expansion by the number。

A further shipyard（an expanded role for CSSC Defence based in Guangzhou？）will be needed for the extra workload。
