They are renovating a conventional dry dock for it at the 35th factory. CAST in general is very anti Navy.

Prior to the GPV 2015 there was no money for the Navy, either upgrading old or building new ships, with very few exceptions. After GPV 2015 and especially GPV 2020 the money is there and the ball is now on the industrial side of the extend that the MoD had to rebalance their spending away from Navy, as they were unable to use that money on procurement on time.

As such I do not see an argument for the scrapping of major surface combatants in favor of a DDG program, especially after what the Northern shipyard & co did with Gorshkov program (even if we excuse them in part due to the power plant delays)
