DL aircraft carrier

JN aircraft carrier

When will these be finished

 

[Akasa]

I have a feeling that the next destroyer is going to be a cruiser sized one, from all the buzz about the 130mm guns.

Wouldn't two different styles of carriers just complicates things?

Two different shipyards build two different ACs, just like JN shipyard has built the Type 052C, while DL shipyards has built the Type 051C.

When will these be finished

The Type 085 by 2015, and the Type 089 by 2020.

New close-up pictures of Type 054A's vertical launchers all opened

1. China's Type 054A has a very powerful engine and modern long-range radar in comparison to a tiny Vietnamese corvette. It can detect and destroy a corvette beyond the range of a tiny corvette's short-range antiquated radar.

2. China's Type 054A has a 32-cell VLS (vertical launch system) that carries HQ-16 missiles, which are equivalent to American SM-2 missiles.

3. China's Type 054A has two Type 730 CIWS (close-in weapon system) for short-range defense.
