If work began on Carrier 002 in March 2015, i presume that was for the first steel cutting for the first modules. Can we therefore expect to see evidence of completed modules later this year.......or will it take longer? Plus, if the displacement figure of 80,000 tonnes is correct, this will...

Well, if the Indians want a proper Navy, then they need to learn how to speed up the build of their warships. I mean looking at the construction times, it took the Indians over 10 years just to build a Destroyer! :woot:

The thing is with water being a liquid and therefore the resistance and drag would have a massive affect on an object trying to reach such a high speed. The vehicle itself would require an incredibly powerful powerplant. I just don't see it!

Yes....well done, that was quick in getting confirmation of your hypothesis! :-) Just checking, but can members here, from that slightly grainy photo, actually confirm that vessel does appear to be an 055. Thanks..........if so then that is great, and as @Deino said i'am surprised as well, as i...

ok.......thanks 'cirr' i see it now, after looking properly at the photos again.....:-)

Thanks @cirr...........but do those images at Dalian actually show modules of a 055 build as of this time, and if so, could you highlight where they are? :-)

Thanks 'Salty_Waters' for your reply, though you didn't need to write an essay. :hitwall: We all look forward to your future posts. :-)

Very good post from 'cnleio', as it shows how China's Navy has modernized significantly over the years, as portrayed in 5 year segments. What it certainly shows is that the Chinese Navy had virtually no anti-air missile capability 25-30 years ago. Please could you post images of the Chinese Navy...

Hi.......i notice from your recent posts, you keep making claims, but then say you cannot show evidence as you do not have the rights! ...........my question to you is what is your occupation then?.............and who and why do you have to get permission from? Anyway, it would be good if we do...

I think some members here are going crazy! :-) The Carrier 001A has still got a lot of work to be done to it EVEN before it gets launched. Even a Chinese military spokesman last year, stated that the Carrier wouldn't get launched until probably somewhere around Spring 2017, as they wanted to...

Well now that we are at New Years eve, i was wondering what we can expect to see development wise from the Chinese Navy in 2017. As 2017 will be the 2nd year into China's 13th 5 year plan. Obviously we will see in a few months time the launching of China's second carrier (first all home...

If that is true..........it does seem a little odd that the Chinese Navy would require an 052E and a 055, as they would be similar ships, except that the 055 would be a little larger, and with a higher missile load. What are members here, views on this?

There were rumours a year or so ago, that the 052D class could end up at 18 vessels. Whether there will be an updated class 052E with improvements, who knows?...........but i think the PLAN will be concentrating its future Destroyer fleet on the size of the 055 class.

Apparently, the class size has grown to 14 vessels, according to some sources! :-)

"ǐ huì shuō yīngyǔ ma" :hitwall: 'long' most of us here don't speak Chinese, and reading Chinese is even harder..........please could you, when posting, add an English translation as well.....thanks. :-)

Corrections to some silly posts here:- 1/ The 'Liaoning' is not a just a training vessel, but a fully fledged combat ship. Even the Chinese authorities have stated this. Do people here really think, that a vessel that has been given a full suite of weapons systems, and a squadron of combat...

I came here to find some new information about the 055 Destroyer............but then found out it was all about submarines. Come on people surely its not that hard to put your posts under the correct topic heading? :hitwall:

Well we have all seen the images from JN shipyard, and we can clearly see there are 2 055's under construction, but there is no proof yet of a 3rd or 4th vessel. Though that doesn't mean to say that modules are not being built for these elsewhere at the present time. Anyway, the Chinese are...

Some great photos posted here of developments at JN shipyard. In fact we all seem to of forgotten about the 052D class, now that the 055 is being built. Anyway, the Chinese are certainly putting in a great effort to build the 055 class, and it seems to be being built at quite an amazing speed...

Which shipyard will be building the 075? ..........Dalian, JN, HD, HP or some other?
