Time to have the pennant number painted.

Henri Kenhmann was reading you! Just today...

A few more months, normally, for this destroyer's head ship of Type 055 to be admitted into the active service... Photo via 436

The hull number should be 101, named Nanchang 南昌

Nanchang, capital city of Jiangxi Province, the birthplace of PLA!

Which number is this?

Which number is this?

This one is in Dalian shipyard, so it is either #3 or #4 of the class (Dalian production #1 or #2).

The world most powerful warship enter service. Great!

The MOST??? ... are you sure?

With "one of" I would fully agree but so ...

Definitely not the most, for example the Bismark and Tirpitz were much more "powerful" in the traditional sense than the Type 055.

Are you sure? Sure Bismark or Kirov battleship are bigger but their system are extremely outdated. 055 with unmatched dual band phased radar are unrivaled and those dinosaur warship wouldnt even last a few mins with 055 as it unleashed YJ-18 anti-warship missile to sink them.

055 destroyer as most powerful warship is absolutely correct. Even Alreigh Burke flight III is not going to rival it.
