This is doomed to be one of the largest sacle of fleet build-up in mankind history.

We need to see a similar buildup in the underwater fleet, particular the PLAN boomer fleet. A strong navy requires both a strong surface and below-surface fleet.

That's why they always kept below the 'surface'.

They are no where close.

Do we really care about them?

^^ they should keep that red Chinese flag under the bridge windows, it adds to the look of the ship. I am more interested in this cruiser than the AC, combo of brute strength and modern stealth.

Looking at the latest images..........it appears the 055 program is being given priority, in terms of effort in getting the vessels built. A bit like when the first 052D was outfitted very quickly, and actually joined the Chinese Navy, before the last two 052C's.
Also by building more than one at a time, i'am sure the Chinese are saving quite a bit of money, on their construction, which in turn means they can afford to build more in the future!
Anyway, overall its great to see so much activity at these Chinese naval shipyards!

Dual Launch of Type 055 Destroyer (12,800 Tonnes)? What a Capability !

They do this in Peace time.
You can Imagine the Scale of Chinese Manufacturing Capability in War-time if that come !
