Can China Navy own 12x 052C/D DDGs in 2015 ? Now 2014.12 is 6x 052C + 1x 052D.

China should build lhd ASAP you can build for russia too with all the crap in France
Yes, we should build LHD ... but current situation is CSSC busy in building new modern DDGs first.

052Ds and type001A A.C shipbody ... anyway we have not seen any DaLian shipyard pic in this half of year. If it's really JiangNan & DaLian shipyards building 052D DDGs together, following current building speed in Five years im sure PLAN can own 20~30x 052C/D DDGs (4x new 052Ds commissioned each year).

VERY GREAT !!!

Ummmm.... i too wonder whats going on at 'Dalian' shipyard'.
From what ive seen of pictures posted by members, it looks like the shipyard is doing all the preparation work for starting work on the carrier programme, whenever that starts.
Yes, they built the 'Liaoning' there, but next time they need to build an entire carrier (ie the hull as well), therefore other things have to be prepared in advance.
Regarding the 052D's, it was said quite some time ago that 'Dalian' would be building 2 vessels to start off with, but no evidence of this has come to fruition...........probably because if vessels were under construction now, we wouldnt know this until there launching, as i believe 'Dalian' is not a very accessible shipyard for photographic opportunities......unlike other Chinese shipyards, such as 'JN, HD and HP' (can our Chinese members here confirm this?).

Anyway.........i'am looking forward to following developments of the Chinese Navy next year, as i reckon this will be the beginning of the next phase till 2020, when China will start building some really impressive new classes of warship.
Particularly the mighty missile cruiser the Type 055! :-)
