The world's largest facility for building nuclear submarines is near completion.

Starting in 2017, the giant factory will make SSNs and SSBNs like sausages.

So our eight will be constructed here

No; these facilities are for Type 095/096 nuclear powered vessels. The S20 submarines will most likely be constructed at Wuchang Shipyard.

WHY ON EARTH AGAIN A NEW THREAD ????????

I came here to find some new information about the 055 Destroyer............but then found out it was all about submarines. Come on people surely its not that hard to put your posts under the correct topic heading?

12000-ton.

At less than 900 million USD a unit, China can easily afford 50 Type 055 destroyers and variants.

At USD 7.5 billion a piece [based on April 2016's figure, incl. R&D; "Zumwalt-class destroyer" at Wiki], at its good days a ‘Zumwalt-class’ DDG 1000 destroyer with 14,564 tons of displacement and speed over 30 knots still holds the many records that no other one, incl. the Type 055, ever comes close.

New CG of 055 DDG

I think they should build branch out from 055 and build two variants. A smaller ship around 9,000 ton full displacement as general duty destroyer, while a larger 13,000 ton hull with 128 VLS cells and 155mm main gun as carrier escort cruiser.

I recommend you as the chief of PLA General Armament Department.

For those guys with access to Dalian Shipyard (Dalian Old), have a closer look to the open storrage space next to the big drydock, that is occupied by a large tanker right now. Modules of minimum one 055, at least to where assembled there rite now. once the big tanker is ready to launch, the final assembly of both Dalian initial 055 cruisers will take place in that dock.

Modules should be visible from the end of the finger peer 400 meters southeast.

Once I have privilege to post images, I will draw sketch of exact position.

So If you like it or not, minimum 3 very likely 4 type 055 cruisers are on building way rite now.

I know you need hard facts, so maybe you remember that post later on, when evidence is emerging

Hi.......i notice from your recent posts, you keep making claims, but then say you cannot show evidence as you do not have the rights! ...........my question to you is what is your occupation then?.............and who and why do you have to get permission from?
Anyway, it would be good if we do see evidence that Dalian is building the 055 Cruiser as well.

My recent posts? you mean the only one before? not sure if you take me for someone else? well I would be happy to see my recent posts, the one you quoted was my very second in that forum at all. But I drawed your attention... I keep making claims? Well not to get to much into semantics, but to keep making claims one has to make a claim before... .

And as you can see so far, I made a handfull of comments until now. The forum rules as far as I understand are not permitting me to post images or links as far as I recieved a certain status (introduced myself in members area and so on), as a member, you should know that.

To let me get things straight:

According to Mulan Lake CV-mockup/fire fighting training centre, I just presented my thought. If you classify this as a claim, ok. Feel free to comment on that. I think, that's something pretty normal for expert forums. Feel free to tell me why my thoughts are wrong.

According to Dalian, I have not written that I hold evidence to present. I named the location where locals should put their cameras on. To put a little extra claim for you and others to chew on, first segments for 055 where laid down in Dalian in late summer 16. But I will not give any evidence on that. I will give an google image with exact location where to look at. That's the only thing I promised. For the rest I just said mark my words.

Thanks 'Salty_Waters' for your reply, though you didn't need to write an essay.
We all look forward to your future posts.

Well, as I promised, I want to share my idea where and why to find the 055 hull(s) in Dalian.

When first rumors came up, that both Dalian Old and Jiangnan will be building Type 055 I was supprised why Dalian? They have enough work with 052D. Then I was asking myself where in Dalian.

The Type 055 will exceed 180 meters, if you take seriously all anouncements. And if you see the google images of Jiangnan, that size is plausibel ( at least with 12k+ tons) 180 minimum is good.

Where in Dalian Old is enough space to build one, or like in Jiangnan two initial units? The building ways for 052D, as i measured them at wikimapia, are at least 175 meters. That is a bit to short to fit in 055 and it is way to short if you need space to work.

If Dalian is building the 055 the same way like Jiangnan, as modules (assuming they are going to apply that technique) you need a level pre assembly area and high crane capacity.

--> minimum 185 Meter Dock, + level area + powerfull crane. Looking for that features, only one spot can be available. When I saw google image of Dalian, there are only two reasonable spots. One is occupied by CV-17. So only spot that matches perfectly is the long drydock in Dalian Old.

A friend of mine told me, the dock is occupied by a tanker, that is build right now. I dunno if he is rite or wrong. But if that dock is occupied by a tanker and assembly work of 055 has started at Dalian Old, something that i read last year(sorry that I can't provide where I read it), I would store all premanufactured modules as close to the dock as possible, so that final assembly can be done in few month once the dock is empty.

I think that the modules should be visible from Dalian Port peer, if the tanker is not to high.

why two units? because it is not reasonable from an economic point of view, to occupy such a big dock with one single 055 project. That's why both initial units ( if there are two initial units) can/or let's say should be assembled in parallel in that dock.

I encircled the module store area where to pay attention at.

That is a claim, but in my view the most profound, when discussing 055 in Dalian.
Hey, at least I can be wrong. But having a closer look there can be a good idea.

@Salty_Waters I don't know about your argument, but your writings sure are exciting to read
