Type 052D destroyer is 155 meters long, 18 meters wide, that's bigger than Ticonderoga cruiser. Type 055 destroyer is expected to be about 170 meters long, 24 meters wide.
So now there are 3 Type 052D on sea trial. That's as many Zumwalt as there will ever be. When the next US financial crisis hits next year, expect Zumwalt number to be cut from 3 to 1.
