CODAG, 2x QC185 gas turbines (18MW each), 2x 16PA6BSTC-280 diesel engines (6.4MW each). IEPS consisting of 4DC generators, totally producing 48MW of power, running 4x10MW pump jet thrusters.
Speed:
In excess of 30 knots
Range:
6,500 nautical miles at 18knots estimated
Complement:
170-190, if you add the air crews.
Sensors and processing systems:
364A S-band phased-array radar, L-band radar, X-band multitasking digital array radar. Fire control, SAM, navigation radars. Bow, towed and VDS sonar, datalink and satcom systems.
Electronic warfare & decoys:
Electronic warfare support system and decoy launcher system using 24 decoy rocket launchers. Tech leveraged from the 055 type.
Armament:
1x PJ26 76.2mm naval gun.
1x H/PJ-11 11-tube 30mm naval gun CIWS.
1x HQ-10 short-range defense missile launcher, 24cells.
32x 6,5m depth VLS cells in the bow for HQ-16 SAM and Yu-8 anti submarine rockets.
16x 9m depth VLS cells in front of the helicopter hangar, compatible with cruise missiles, ASuW missiles and drones.
2 × 3 324mm Yu-7 ASW torpedo launchers.

2x Z-15 anti-submarine helicopters
Aviation facilities: hangar with space for 2x10ton class helis.
This is a mighty impressive upgrade, if you ask me. Of particular importance is the new IEPS, as well as the heavy ASW upgrades the ship has.
Is this an official source, or simply fan speculation about the 054B?

We will see 054B this year or next, but it is never going to be like this CG, far too much for a A to B upgrade.

Going by the latest "eight-part essay" productions of both 095 SSN and 096 SSBN are in full swing.
That is extremely good to hear!
Will 096 get inducted with JL-3 off the bat, or is it expected to start operations with JL-2 first?

Quantum leap in ALL that matter.
Can you post the essay? Do we know what stage of construction they're in?
Not sure, but the rocket motor for the JL-3 first stage was supposedly tested in 2017, so the project is definitely in full swing. Henri K. predicts an entry-to-service date of 2026, roughly in line with the 09VI program.
