At least 4 Type 055 DDGs are being built at 2 shipyards，with a 3rd yard to join the feast later in 2016.

When can we expect the first unit to hit the water?

Where did you here this? If they are being built now they must be at this moment be still building the modules, coz we havn't seen any images yet of possible 055's in the hallways at JN.
We know some of the 055's will be built at JN, and the other shipyard should be Dalian?
But who will be the 3rd shipyard?

Will another 2 052D's be ordered from JN or Dalian to take the class upto 12 ships, or is it going to stay at the current 10?

055 modules have been spotted multiple times by people who paid visits to JN in H2 2015.

Large and “sophisticated” modules。

As it currently stands，the order for 052D is 18 minimum，with more to follow for 052Es。

Jiangnan、Dalian and CSSC Defence are the shipyards in question（My personal wish was for WS or SS，both in Shanghai，to become the third yard certified to build DDGs but the GAD and the PLAN obviously thought and decided otherwise）
