Type 055 DDG News & Discussions

[Figaro]

Just my personal speculation, the sensitive issue regarding the mid-ship VLS is not the number of cells but the new type of miisiles that it will carry, and hence the size of the VLS cell holes.

New type of cruise missliles? Anti-ship Ballistic missiles? But then again, I could be wrong.

I heard the missile layout will be very similar to what's already on 052D ... no big surprises here unfortunately

Wait for the real photo to show up, we will know by then.

the 3rd and 4th in series respectively, are taking shape.

128. One entire block of 16 VLS cells was blocked from this perspective. Hence I get 8*16 or 128 ...

"Exploring and mastering the development of 10,000-ton missile destroyer lays an important foundation for China to build its world's most advanced destroyer."

-- 055 is just the beginning of another long march.

From other forum.

Some people insist its a 4 lane VLS in the back. But we cannot see the 4th line because, image perspective.

Let guessing
