Starting with the 14th 052D, a new long-range early-warning radar will replace the old good Type 517B radar on the rear mast.

It might still easily be mistaken as a missile boat /patrol boat rather than a DDG to untrained eyes, especially in bad weather and dim light. (the big 130mm gun turret is the culprit causing the optical illusion [similar to the opposite optical illusion of J20's size caused by the small canted tails)).

The advantage of this optical illusion is that the enemy would have false impression of a lesser threat than actual, thus lower their alertness.

And the radar return does not help either because the stealth design will make 052D look like a small fishing boat on radar screen.
