Type 052D DDG News & Discussions

[samsara]

Why we need type 52E when we already have type 055 DDG?

PLA Navy will order BOTH 052E and 055... 052E is the further development of 052 series and 055 is costly compared to this series... and if the same source is to be accounted, "PLAN Aegis destroyer ship procurement may reach 40 units, and mentioned that Type 055 destroyer units in service may reach 12~20 units"... PLA Navy simply wanna achieves its objective in more cost efficient way with such mix... and sound logical!

The emblem of the 9th Type 052D, 155 Nanjing, uses the head of a Chinese mythical animal called 睚眦.
Nanjing, 睚眦, it's very revealing...

It should well remind some party to behave itself... don't play dumb as if no capital sins were conducted in the past. You may deliberately choose to forget, to deny even to whitewash... yet we do remember.

This is 052D DDG thread. You mean Jiangnan shipyard began to build new 052 series DDG? Or it is a new 055 DDG?

Just to clarify..........from info i have seen from other sites, there are currently 13 052D's that are either in service (6 off), sea trials, being fitted out etc. On top of that there are rumours that modules for a further 2 052D's have been spotted at JN shipyard............and on the topic of 055's, still only 4 in construction, unless of course anyone can provide photographic evidence to prove otherwise........

#5 055 at JN in queue for berth to be vacated after the launch of #2 by the end of the year or thereabout.

New 052D modules are spotted placed next to 055 #3 and #4 at DL.

Also rumours have it that two companies are joining hands to build nuclear powered surface combatants for the PLAN.

Jane's bought a new satellite imagery to analyze the number of LCAC in Jiangnan Shipyard. I may found the module of fifth 055 and fifteenth 052D. I label them on the image. Is it correct?

It does look like you could be correct, as the modules you highlight do look slightly narrower than those of an 055, suggesting its another 052D. Its interesting to note, that if so, then it would mark a change, as previous 052D's were built in the hallways, for their hull builds. I presume the 055's are built outside as they are too large.
Anyway, the speed at which JN can construct hulls form the module stage to launching a vessel is very impressive indeed.
I just wish we could get more regular shots of JN shipyard, and not just aerial photos, as we used to get images at ground level facing the covered hallways.

You should be confident in yourself.
