The number of ships ordered so far is around 18, and this will not be the final number. At least 4 out of that will be built in Dalian.

I think 174 has high chance of joining the fleet end of year.

The first type052D DDG built by North China DaLian shipyard ... type052D fleet building as fast as we can.

174 commissioned and 175 behind soon....

By these speed, and end of next year we will have 6-7 Type052D excluding 6 old Type052C. That will be enough to match JMSDF Navy of destroyer.

Don't forget our first Type 055 will be ready for testing next year.

To admit so far we haven't seen any proof that it is already under construction and even if (most likely) I don't think that it will be ready for testing next year. How long does it normally take from launch in a shipyard of a DDG to first shake-up cruise ?
