Type 052D DDG News & Discussions

[Genesis]

We are finally hitting the passing grade, when we bought ships, our navy was at a good capability, but as we started total indigenous designs and production I got to say the quality slipped.

But today we have finally reached back to that standard and can produce ships 100% in house. Which is also why we are faster in putting FINISHED ships in water than another friend, because we don't wait for parts from foreign countries.

Now it's only a matter of time before we catch up.

What a elegant beauty!

First to build dozens of 052D, second to build larger DDG as advanced as "Burke III", third to build 5~6x Aircraft Carrier Battle Groups.

General, the China Global Strike is urs~!

Are we not making type 52E, and type 52F? Would seem logical, since Type 52D is no longer the most technically advanced ship in China's plans anymore. I'm talking Type 54B, which I heard is electric propulsion.

Said Dalian shipyard is now building two 052D destroyer, the new carrier will be completed by year 2018.

China will have at least 15 popos of 'Ageis' like DDG by year 2015. Six 052c plus nine 052D.

It doesn't matter if ships are called 052D Block II or 052E so long as they are constantly improved upon as more advanced systems and weapons become available。

quite impressive, 052D is built in my hometown! I'm so pround of it!

7 052d have been confirmed under construction, we can see it rolling from the factory.

D4 and D5 will be soon launched simultaneously.

In this year, China will likely commission C5/C6 and D1/D2.

The Type 055 DDG construction won't start this year, it's disappointing.

What is the principal SAM missile for 052D's??

HQ-9B

The Type 055 DDG construction won't start this year, it's disappointing.

Since China is now building the Type 052D and the nuclear subs with a fast rate, so it won't bother me that much if the Type 055 is delayed a little bit.

HQ-9B

Any info of the missile? does it have greater range than HQ-9? is it ABM capable? any other improvement?
