But there seems to be no announcement or spotted ceremony. Usually an announcement will be made from ministry of defense of PRC.

There was also no announcement for the DDG-153, since the launch of the Type 055 has stolen all the spotlight.

I can hear the crying of this beauty. Even just few weeks before, she is still the focus of all the PLAN fans. But now, no one cares about her, because we have a new and hotter beauty 055.

We can sell them to Pakistan and Iran, since it would still have the best spotlight in those countries.

(Global Times) 13:00, June 28, 2017

China's first home-grown 10,000-tonne class missile destroyer has been launched in Shanghai on Wednesday morning, marking a step forward for China's development in missile destroyers.

According to the PLA Daily, the new missile destroyer's launching ceremony has been held at 9:00 am Wednesday morning in Shanghai's Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co under the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, and Zhang Youxia, head of the CMC Equipment Development Department, attended the ceremony.

This is China's first home-grown 10,000-tonne class missile destroyer with advanced anti-air, anti-missile, anti-vessel and anti-submarine capabilities, and it is completely self-developed by China and it is a symbol of the Chinese navy's strategic transformation, according to the report.

The next step for this vessel will focus on equipment testing and sea trial.

The PLA Daily's report didn't mention the name or the type of this destroyer but according to previous report and experts analysis, it is a Type 055 guided-missile destroyer, and it is a crucial member in China's future aircraft carrier strike group.

Type 055 destroyer will greatly enhance PLA Navy's combat capability in the open sea, and ground attack capability, as its higher tonnage will enable it to be more versatile, Song Zhongping, a military expert, told the Global Times on Wednesday.

More importantly, Type 055 will form China's maritime anti-missile system together with 052D destroyer, which is already enlisted. China will be able to build a Chinese version of the 'Aegis missile defense system with the inclusion of 055, Song said.

With more 055s entering PLAN, 052 would logically find entry into allied navies like BN and PN.

Time is nearing for 052D to retire into China Coast Guard?

"052D+" from the 14th.

 

[english_man]

Well, according to Henri.K, the Chinese Navy has ordered some 26 x 052D's. I don't know where he got this info from, but he is usually correct with his predictions on Chinese Navy matters, and if that does come true, then that means the Chinese are going to have a very large, powerful surface fleet. Have any members here heard from other sources that China is going to build 26 x 052D's????

I just hear PLAN place orders for another 8 units of 052D. 13+8=21

Maybe will add to 26, who knows?

The construction of 052D has been temporarily put on hold as the shipyards wait for an improved design.
