I believe the DBR on Zumwalt will be the SPY-3. What is china's equivalent that will be on the 055?
The Zumwalt could still quadpack ESSMs for anti-ship defense. I think china has a similar system with the quadpack but i forget the designation.
The Type 346A AESA radar for the Type 052D, and it is going to be an upgraded dual band version of that radar for the Type 055.
The CCL VLS is also the same for the Type 052D and the Type 055, but it is going to be 64 for the Type 052D, 112 for the Type 055, or maybe 128 for the Type 055A.
Our versatile CCL VLS is even larger than the coming MK-57, so of course it can have the equivalent of the ESSM.
Is there any possible to build 052Ds in Wuhan? An old news here.

I hope these four shipyards to build 052D/055 at the same time though they play different role in the industry! If this come to true that will be amazing.
I don't think they will let the inland cities to build those major surface vessels, so Wuhan will mostly focus on the AIP subs.
