A possibility for new Navy fleet ship could be to use the longer Type 052D hull, convert it to IEP, modify the hangar area to take 2 x Z-20, change some of the superstructure to be a bit like Type 055, add 8-16 slant launchers.

Commissioned 2 destroyers on the same day is definitely a separate thread with hundreds of reply if the news comes from another country, but just a normal other days for China with only a few thumps up in the Chinese defense section.

The main visual difference is a 4m stretching/extension of the flight deck.

The Improved 052D (DL / DG) vs the standard one:

• Better millimeter-wave radars
