Yes. PLAN has wake up their idea and induct type 052D at fast pace. The ideal will be inducting 4 every year. PLAN must achieve total naval supremacy over Japan by 2018, not 2020.

3x 052D and 2x 052C DDGs joint PLAN South Sea Fleet, South China has the strongest fleet of 5x AESA DDGs.

In SCS ... PLAN South China Sea Fleet has 3x 052D + 2x 052C DDGs ... smart enought to train our new AESA DDGs in the region.

Just guess the feeling when Vietnamese to see 5x 052C/D and 054A patrolling the SCS together ... collapsing.

Another S class? Looks non-nuke from the size and the top of the hull, and I am guessing its displacement....

Why we have to keep comparing ourselves with Japan?

Do you think that the JMSDF has a chance to beat the current PLAN? lol, they can't even scratch us.

JMSDF is still a force to reckon with. In terms of modern destroyer , currently PLAN has only 12 available. Not much more than JMSDF.

But the modern warfare is not about ship vs ship, it is about the whole systematic warfare. In this case, Japan got nothing on China.

Also, the PLAN now has 8 Aegis-like DDGs over 6 Aegis DDGs of the JMSDF.

PS, their 150KM Harpoon missile can barely touch any PLAN warship.
