Indeed. Construction of the Type055 Destroyer started in Dec. 14, and launched in mid-2017. That's a very impressive speed, considering it is China's first time to build a 12,000 ton destroyer.

With advances made by Ma Weiming and Team(s), we can start looking forward to 055B in a few short years.

IPS, laser, railgun, electromagnetic missile launcher etc etc...

Hopefully his next prediction of our "Nuclear Aircraft Carrier" at the year end will be as accurate as the "055 DDG"
