PLA Launches Fourth Type 052d 'chinese Aegis' Destroyer

[Rashid Mahmood]

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.

It is not like the bigger the better, 052D carrys HQ9B SAM with range more than 150 plus, and YJ62 anti-ship missile with more than 300 KM. That's called strong fire power in the making. PLA navy need at least 30 plus ships like 052d to escort the CBG and replace the old destroyers.

PLA navy will be the strongest navy in west pacific region at year 2025. With 6 plus CBGs and dozens of agies system shipborn destroyers we can wipe out any enemy standing in our way. Hope your cute economy could withstand the confrontation.

Am I suppose to be impressed? A Tico cruiser recently blew up a satellite. Does any of your ships do that? Also the cruiser has SAM system that can engage targets 240 km away. Still use the old Harpoons but the new anti-ship missile coming online will have 370 km range and its stealthy. When you build 60 plus destroyers, then we will talk. Otherwise I doubt your ability to introduce 6 carrier battle groups by the year 2025. Also your economy won't withstand a war with the U.S. especially with sanctions on Chinese products along with other allies of the U.S. That would lead to tens of millions of Chinese out of jobs. And other Asian countries can take China's place. Didn't include the blockade yet.

Never underestimate the biggest country in the world. Any country that invades China will cease to exist on Earth.

The US navy lost well over 60 destroyers in WW2. How long do you think the 50 odd US destroyers can last in a war against the world's biggest country China?

LOL! That destroyer 52D is not bigger than the Tico cruiser. Check your facts, or you just like to blabber nonsense.

This guy has to be the biggest bootlicking *** kisser I've ever seen on PDF. That's actually saying a lot around here.

LOL! You showed how many destroyers and carriers we lost. But how about showing how many carriers we built as well as destroyers?

Based on your source we lost 5 carriers. How many were built since then? And I haven't include the destroyers and battleships.

Thats great! You can build ships from rowboats to cargo ships. How about massive complex warships like maybe an aircraft carrier of your own? For the last few years the massive warships we built and commissioned...

USS America

USS Arlington

USS San Antonio

USS New York on the right

USS Makin Island

USS George Bush

USS Ronald Reagan

USS Gerald Ford

And I haven't include submarines and destroyers and so on.

Why are you expecting the Chinese members here to exercise critical thinking? I thought we have established either the unwillingness or the lack thereof of that skill a long time ago.

 

[antonius123]

This is about chinese achievement, not about china has beating America.
Why are you so myopic?

 

[Superboy]

China's industry can pump out 500 fighter jets per week, 10 destroyers per week, 1 carrier per week, 20 subs per week. Don't even think about destroying China's ports because of thousands of land based fighter jets. How many can America build? If you can't keep up with the big dogs, then sit on the porch.

Why are you showing America muscle to the Chinese here? Even US has all these toys they cannot do any SH!t alone by themselves, I must admit.
