Well make sence , u r right this's the 5th type052D in ur photo. The 6th,7th and 8th type052D in my post.

In 2016, there will have four Type 052D being commissioned, so it will be a record year for the PLAN.

Yes, that will be the way. I can bet even 5 is possible.

That is great news for sailors. A position on those DDGs would attract a lot of applicants.

I think the JN shipyard is trying to finish the Type 052D series as quick as possible, so they can later focus on the Type 055, the Type 002, or even the Type 093G.

When the Type 001A gonna be launched? Early 2016 or late 2016?

2016 is going to be a very good year for PLAN. We will see 001A launch, 002 build in Jiangnan, 055 too.

Aircraft carrier 002 will commence building in Spring. Watch out for changes in Dry Dock No.4 from April this year.

By July 1st I think. Some BM at CD even suggests end of April.

The Type 001A could be commissioned in 2019, and the Type 002 could be launched in 2019.

So the Type 003 could start the construction by 2020.

Nice ... what's Your source on this information ?

In one hand, collection of informations related to the construction like 1600t gantry crane in Changxing Jiangnan, specific steels development, R&D documents...etc, in an another hand, PLA Navy videos.

And finally, some "insiders" who indicate that the project of 2 first ships is confirmed.

When the Type 001A gonna be launched? Early 2016 or late 2016?

Q2 2016.
