Type 052D DDG News & Discussions

[Stuttgart001]

You forgot the 130mm gun.

I just red an article in a Chinese website last two weeks mentioning rewarding an outstanding designer who make a breakthrough in terms of a new big caliber naval gun.
I am afraid 155mm gun is on the way.

055 doesn't have land attack ability? Can't believe it

055 doesn't have land attack ability? Can't believe it

I'm sure they can easily just change the weapons or add.

 

[rcrmj]

Do you know if it was an estimate or something based on "leaked" info?



What info is this based on? Is the VLS aboard the 052D and 055 not able to accommodate strike variants of the YJ-18?

the VLS can host any new kits we have in the inventory, from sea to air, from land to under sea and to outer space, but land attack capability ≠ hosting a land cruise missile, or TMD capability ≠ hosting a TMD or NMD capable missile```software, control and command plug-in components and etc``````

p.s if you have a certian range figure regarding a missile from a 'big shrimp'```then just take with a pinch of salt, the real 'insiders' wont give any figures with certain numbers`````for example, last year, a pomegranate shoot a new egg, it flew very far, far, far, far, far, far, far``````and hit the target, this is kind of 'leak' you really should read into, not 'oh, it shoots X/Y/Z kms and hit a target```

Fair enough, but the question remains unanswered: where did all of this come from? A big shrimp, or whatever it's called?

haha, there is alot of things you wont believe```good or bad, ```for example, 052D air defence system is good, not what most people (includeing most Chinese fans) woule believe it should be, it is so good, that gets those high official too cockey to say: 靶弹还不行，还不快，还不多 （those target vehicles are not fast enough, more enough······),

who has the most variety and most advanced target vehicle families? China and U.S`````ps.`as far as I know, those two countries shoot down more 3M plus advanced target vehicles during exercises than some country's stockpile of supersonic missiles````

lol, are you seriously asking me this question````?

I believe SinoSoldier is a persona closely related to the other defence blog on China's military: SDF (a domain registered in Maryland, USA), possibly even the owner or at least the admin there seems to fill in whatever is void there.

Of course; my account's name also happens to be "SinoSoldier" on SDF. How long did it take you to figure that one out?

China 11th new type052D DDG ("Cheng Du") launch in DaLian shipyard
052d导弹驱逐舰下水几艘了 第11艘已在大船集团下水

【052d导弹驱逐舰下水几艘了】据中船重工官方微信平台消息，8月3日，沐浴着建军节的喜庆，我国海军一艘最新型的导弹驱逐舰（第11艘052D型——观察者网注）在大船集团一号船台成功下水，中船重工集团董事长胡问鸣亲临为新舰砍缆，北海舰队副司令员黄新建、成都市副市长刘宏葆等共同见证。

【052d导弹驱逐舰下水几艘了】中船重工所属大船集团被誉为“海军舰艇的摇篮”，此次完成下水任务的一号船台始建于上世纪50年代，长200余米，宽27米，首部最高4米。它饱经风雨、历尽沧桑，为大船集团和中船重工发展、为中国海军装备建设立下了赫赫战功，为国家的海洋安全筑起了坚不可摧的海上长城。自投入使用以来，几百艘军舰从这座船台上下水，中国第一艘万吨轮、第一艘布雷舰、第一艘炮艇、中国第一代到第四代导弹驱逐舰都诞生在这里。可以说这座船台上每艘军舰下水溅起的浪花，都辉映着中国造船的成长与荣耀。随着大船集团军工产品由小型化向大型化、由小规模向大批量的发展，一号船台完成了它的历史使命，今天的下水仪式也是它的谢幕演出。

　　此时，一号船台已不再单纯是一座简单的建筑，而是升华为中船重工精神的化身，它将激励中船重工人不断奋勇向前。作为国家的脊梁，中船重工承载着中华民族的海洋情结和雄心壮志，忠诚履行着国有企业的责任和担当。坚持国家利益至上，时刻听从祖国召唤，在科学发展的道路上中船重工人蓄势待发，再谱新篇！

@cnleio...........i may of misunderstood your post, but the 11th 052D "Chengdu" was launched last summer on the 3rd August 2016.

I wonder if Jeff, Popeye, and others are here too or not

Actually the article did say August 3rd in the first sentence. So you are indeed correct.

We should build 30 units of 052D, 14 is too small a number.

 

[Stuttgart001]

We should build 30 units of 052D, 14 is too small a number.

055 is ongoing.
I think 7000 ton displacement is a little small for a modern destroyer ,which can not accommodate enough armament like anti-land cruise missiles.

 

[english_man]

Regarding the 052D, it does look like the class could well end up as 14 units, as we havn't seen any additional units listed in any construction tables. If that happens, then that is still more than what was originally predicted.
By the way the Chinese have launched themselves into the 055 program, it looks like this is what the Chinese naval planners really want as we have seen them starting off building 4 units, without the usual policy of building a lead ship, testing it, then if its ok, then order more vessels.
As China seems to of sorted out its marine engine problems, there is nothing now to stop them building the big toys for their navy!
