Has the first 052D Kunming.........yet been in exercises firing its weapons?...........i'am sure the Chinese Navy are very keen to try out their multi-weapon VLS system.

ps: why is it that every time 'Kunming' is photogtaphed, its always at angles that the light shows off the weld lines of the vessel?.........unlucky eh?

and next

Another reason why new 071 is build maybe due to delay of LHD. With PLAN asset stretch, they can no longer wait for the finalizing of LHD and decide to order another LPD/071 to support more busy PLAN overseas ops.

If this new 071 is build fast and push into service quickly. It will confirm my guessing.
 
new 4500ton means 054A FFG ==> 054B FFG with small-size AESA & Integration radar mast.
new 6000ton means 052C DDG ==> 052D DDG (052D building more for A.C battle group), now we see.
new 8000ton means 095 nuclear missile sub or 096 nuclear attack sub ???
new 12000ton means 055 DDG, Large Aegis Destroyer
new 20000ton means Helicopter Carrier ???
new 36000ton-40000ton means China's "Wasp" class amphibious assault ship
new 65000ton means type001A aircraft carrier
new 80000ton means type002 aircraft carrier


1300 for 056A, i suppose
 
Are these 'Zubr' class LCAC allocated to any one particular Chinese fleet, or spread out amongst all the Chinese fleets, or are they in their own group!.......and how many of these craft are expected to be made?...........thanks

辽宁舰试航曾遇沸水管泄露 我军官抢修被烫伤|辽宁舰|中国|航母_新浪军事
几十层甲板,几十个分区,几千个舱室……楼富强带着官兵又开始了一天的工作。如此巨大的舰船,走上一遍就相当于爬过百余层楼,要差不多3个小时,更别说还要仔细检查每一处设施。航母看似庞大,可内部空间并不宽敞,稍不留意就会被管道和门框碰到。跟着他们,科技日报记者紧赶慢赶,累出满头大汗,半个多小时过去,才走过两个分区。这样的工作,他们早就习以为常。
  楼富强,海军辽宁舰首任机电长。参与航母接舰任务以来,他带领官兵,为确保航母续建工程“舰能动”目标的顺利实现打下了坚实基础,被授予“航母工程建设重大贡献奖”,荣立个人一等功。
  “整个航母试验期间,楼富强带领的机电部门所负责的动力系统没有拖过一次后腿。”一位海军领导如是说。
  练就驾驭“大国利器”本领
  70后大校军官,一米八多的魁梧身材,浓眉大眼,好一位英姿勃发的军人!然而,比起当年,他的头发已经有些花白,官兵们都说这是为了航母事业累的。
  那一年,航母工程建设启动之初,有着丰富机电经验,担任机电长多年的楼富强被上级看中,希望他能担起航母机电系统的重任。
 
Construction of Type 055 DDG to start at JNS and DLS shortly and simultaneously。Well,all most simultaneously。:enjoy:

Modernization of China's 4 Sovremenny class destroyers also under way。:D

Awesome. Can't wait till the type 055 is in service.
 
The next generation FFG got formal designation type 054B
LHA got formal designation type 075
Two type 055 will be built for first batch
Four type P956 DDG will be refurnished with domestically made weapons

I can bet the fee for modernise 4 sov with more domestic weapon and sensor will cost more than building a new DDG.
 
On some forums, some members say the 'Sovs' should be retired early................but that is silly. i mean the last 2 are barely a decade old, and they pack a massive armament.
It will be interesting to see how these turn out after their refits........obviously the electronics will be updated, and most likely their communication systems will as well, so they integrate into the fleet better with China's own newer warships!
