so 112 unit VLS is confirmed?

Somebody on the Chinese forums have been claiming a company plane he was on flew over the area, which allowed him to see 112 VLS cells in total. It got a bunch of replies and I am honestly not sure if he was serious or not.

No!
I meant to say that aren't there enough pictures available on internet from which we can count the number of VLS cells?

yes, that is why the debate is pretty much useless until there is photo to confirm. Frankly, I'm more interested on how many of this ship will be built.

Actually, we can probably see No. 2, 3 and 4 launched this year.

Current progersses for No. 2, 3, and 4 are almost in parallel.

Please check this at the end of this year.

Not sure..........but according to Henri.K, his website states that China has ordered in total 26 052D's............so far 13 have been built, or are in the process of building.

Type 052 production has been paused, because of revision for the design. It will continue after finish.

Type 052D is capable while more affordable. I believe China will continue to build it in a large quantity, or its improved version 052E.

Hope we can see china overtake usa this lifetime and become number 1 in the world.

China will restore the pride of what it means to be chinese for china, taiwan, hongkong and singapore.

I don't think so, type 055 is very expensive, China may supplement 055 with 052 for quantity, but I'm sure China will certainly keep upgrading 052 though.
