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.

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?
