Type 055 DDG News & Discussions

That thing looks horrible, man!

-----

BTW, is 055 the most lethal destroyer (or cruiser) in the world right now?

No Sejong the Great destroyer of ROK Navy is the most lethal destroyer right now. 128 VLS aegis destroyer.

Sejong the Great DDG is vastly inferior to 055 in its radar and electrionic system.

As for VLS, you are comparing apple to orange, 055's VLS is far larger and far more capable than MK41 installled in korea's DDG.

Each 055's VLS can acommodate up to 4 missiles of various combination and far larger dimension than the tiny MK41 silo.

And with the RAM missiles sites, each 055 can accomodate up to 500+ missiles depend on configurations.

Not in the same class, can't compare.

I am not need to mention the fact the korea ddg has yet to figure out the electronic compatilities therefore most of their VLSs are empty now and their DDG is merely a tourist ship ATM.

''Vastly inferior'' get off your arrogant Chinese nationalist high horse where a slight mention of other DDG gets you going. Why is the radar and electronic system inferior?

Mk41 can pack 4 missiles as well.''far larger dimension than the tiny MK41 silo.'' lol

The rest what you said are bullshit..........

ALSO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CURRENT. TYPE 055 IS NOT YET FINISHED

The size of Chinese VLS on type 055 is even larger than MK57, not to mention MK41. As far as I know, they don't even have torpedo on that ship.

They're not even in the same league.

128 "VLS" ( on top of that, will be permanently half-empty) is far less lethal than 055's 112(?) super dupper VLS . We've passed elementary numbers count here, have we?

Not to mention the fact VLS on 055DDG can accomodate both cold-launch and hot-launch missiles in the same silo, it is vastly superior to the pathetic MK41.

Comparing MK41 with VLS on 055DDG is like comparing your BB-gun with a 12.7mm sniper rifle, yes they are both guns, but besides that, there is little to compare with.
 
I think the only true competitor of 055 in sight would be future Flight III Arleigh Burke.
 
No, it's DDG1000
Actually, you can't compare the DDG1000 to a 055, as they are completely different types of vessel, and don't have the same mission goals. In fact the Zumwalts, are such odd beasts, they don't even fit in with the US Navies requirements, they don't have BMD, they don't have AEGIS, and i don't think they have an anti-ship capability. In fact as the systems on the Zumwalt are not even ready yet, and it has been declared the vessel won't be ready for operations until at least 2021!........you can bet the 055 will be ready before then.

DDG 1000 is by and large a failure so far, and it will not be the soul & spirit of US Navy workhorses in the foreseeable future, unlike flight III Arleigh Burke.

DDG 1000 mainly targets at sea-to-land attack against mid & small sized opponents that don't have formidable naval forces . It's rather different from traditional destroyers which focus on area air defence, anti-ship & anti-sub capabilities that 052D, Type 45, Arleigh Burke, and 055 etc have been designed for.

Thus even though DDG 1000 is the most advanced ship by various measures, it's not comparable to 055 at all.

DDG-1000 is kind of a creature of the concept of arsenal ship.
