[cirr]

Hi , when will we see the first type 55 in service ? And has any ship been launched yet ? And also what is the estimated displacement of the type 55 ships ?

Launch later this year，commission in 2017.

Notice the short interval between launch and commissioning due to advances in bla bla。。。。。。

Normal displacement just short of 12000 tons。

How sure are you that launch will occur this year? The vessel looks to be in nascent stages.
