Looks great. Congrats to Chinese members.

What are those 128 VLS cells going to include?

Right now, it will be the like the SAM HQ-9B, the ASM like YJ-18, the LACM like DH-10, the torpedo like YU-8.

Later the anti-ballistic missile system like the HQ-26 will be installed into that platform.

This is equivalent to that of the J-20 when it made its first appearance. This is big news.

Right now the 128 vs 112 is not decided yet, and we have to wait to see the conclusive pictures of the VLS.

 

[21stCentury]

A lot of websites are reporting the type 055 as 10,000 ton, other non-news sources say 12,000 to 14,000 tons--which one is closer to the fact?

Even Global Times reports it as 10,000 tons.

This ship actually give out a lot of surprise. Maybe it's 128 units, who knows? The mast is much cooler than those on the CG.

Say

22 YJ18
16 YU8
32 HQ19
26 CJ10
32X4 HQ26

It's depends on the mission. A fleet consist of 4 055DDG is devastating!

12000-14000 tons is closer to the full displacement figure.

I think that's just China media's conservatism in releasing full figures when it comes to accomplishments.

Yep, just like they quoted light displacement figure for the Type 001A, but the full displacement figure is actually 70000 tons instead of 50000 tons.

Prevent drawing attention from USA. But brother something like 055d is so shining that might blind their eyes.
