Can someone tell me what are the advantages/disadvantages of the shape of the radar mast and the
radar casing altogether? As the simple rule in radar physics, spherical objects reflect more radar waves than a cubical/angled object of the same mass, not taking into consideration the type of materials applied on the surface.

Then why is the 052c/d (as per the hand drawing on page 1) and British type-45 daring-class DDGs etc. going for spherical radar housing on top of the mast instead of an angled-surface casing
like those on P-15A?





Can someone explain about the different construction approach on chinese ddg...?

The structure of the radiating units underneath matters more than the cover themselves, which are meant to be transparent to radio waves anyway. (otherwise how would the radar work?) It only has to be transparent to the interested bands but I think those covers are pretty generic and broad-banded anyway.

The shape of the cover likely has to do with how the radar operates and to take into consideration not to distort the pulse sent and received through the cover. I would guess that for a spherical shaped cover the radar inside is likely conventional mechanically steered. Whereas PARs tend to be planar, so they can simply be mounted in an angled arrangement.

Stealth shaping of small protrusions on the mast is probably not so important compared to overall shaping of the hull, since it is a small part of the whole ship, and by stealth we're really only trying to make it low observable to a satisfactory extent given by requirements. You can see that ships like the type 054A and the Shivalik have things that you may say compromise stealth but the designers must have deem them below an acceptable threshhold.

Hmm its a Beauty !! wonder if India has any Destroyer class for parity with the D girl

The United States and Japan, has been committed to the maintenance of peace and stability in Asia. Chinese has been to destroy it. The United States is willing to share technology and the development of new weapons in order to maintain peace with his allies. The legitimate Japanese imports of U.S. state-of-the-art weapons and technology, and the development of new weapons systems. Chinese but illegal theft of the United States in the 1960s antiquated technology, when Chinese steal it, they said that they developed their own.

Japan has been committed to Peace and Stability? READ your own effing constitution dude!!! Your army is called self-defense force for a reason.

India has invested lots of money in R&D of Destroyer.....any recent news or achievement?

well,for me, i wont date a 'girl' with flat breast (new AESA)and huge dick(new 130mm cannon)~

In English, the ship is always described as "her".

Girl with breast and dick, what's that? Shemale, Oh, No!!
Back to topic:
More information appear, seems 052D is a update of 052C, new power, AESA, VLS, New artillery, but, maybe I am wrong, any conclusion is too early. But 052D is a breakthrough for China army, the New AESA, VLS and Power system is a strong base for other China future warship!
Waiting for 055, which can really exceed USA present main destroyer( Not their future DDG, I think we still need a long way to reach the goal)

The Type 052D being moved outside.


Looks like there would be VLS at the front and back, and is the choco-bar type.
Possibly 32 units for each (4 blocks of 8), which would give a decent 64.

Someone has obviously blurred the picture to avoid getting invited for tea, hopefully clearer pics would emerge as the event unfolds.

 

[qwerrty]

that used to be the spot for anti-ship missiles on 052c. what about vls launcher at forward hangar?

WTF!

I take it that you think the gun looks ugly.

PLAN needs better Camo. Cool camo like the USN has (Silver/Grey)
