Regarding the refit of the Destroyer DDG 167 'Shenzhen'.

Does anybody know, or can speculate as to what the weapon suite will be after the refit.........eg will there be a VLS system?

I also believe, that the Russian built 'Sovs' are due for refit, and that maybe this has already started..........can anyone confirm?

Its good to see, that the Chinese are prepared to keep their existing warships upto scratch with these refits, and not just decommission them, as would be the case of some other navies!

Yes, I hope VLS for 167 and the four sov will go major refit which replace many Russian systems.
