Could you please give at least a translated English summary?? Since here are so many members who don't speak Chinese, English is the main language of this board.

Thanks,
Deino

DDG 155 “Nanjing“ commissioned

There is a high probability that DDG 118 "Urumqi" has also been inducted without fanfare

lcloo · Apr 11, 2018

Yes, I will say very high probability that DDG 118 has been inducted into service. In PLAN tradition, only ships that have been accepted for delivery into service will have their pennant numbers painted.

(Painted only after signed, sealed and delivered, as what the law practicing people would have said

).

Yeah. It wouldn’t make sense to have such a wait for a commissioning ... especially at the pace they’re building.
