what surprise me is that 055 is "only" 200 mil more expensive than 052, while 055 is significantly much more powerful.

No, according to a PLA Navy rear admiral, 052D cost 3.5 billion RMB (roughly 0.5 billion USD), and 055 cost 5.5 billion RMB (roughly 0.83 billion USD).

noop, not 200 mil more, but 2 bil more. Or that wouldn't be fair...

I think, that Cost is for "Hull" only paid to Shipyards.

But all Weapons and Electronics Equipment onboard that vessels paid for Different contractor is not included.

In this case you need to add another half.
1.5 x 0.83 billion USD = 1.25 billion USD for Type 055 Heavy Destroyer.

Still much Cost Efficient compare to western shipyards.
Anyway, Money is not a Problem for China.

I dont think so, thats a PLA rear admiral told the media about the cost of a warship to PLA navy, PLA navy only sign deal with the shipyard group, and thats the "flyaway" cost.

Nobody will only sign a cost of "hull" with the shipyard/aircraft factory etc, since it is meaningless, they sign deal with the shipyard for a total cost, the shipyard sign deals with sub system supplier.

Sound GOOD ~ if China keep building these type052D type055 DDGs in 3x - 4x CSSC shipyards ... after five years there will be global-powerful Navy in Asia, to own 30+ modern DDGs

 

[cnleio]

1. DaLian shipyard

2. JiangNan shipyard:

3. ZhongHua shipyard

4. DongNan shipyard:

5. HuangPu shipyard

6. LongXue shipyard

7. WuHan(WuChang) shipyard
