Type 055 DDG News & Discussions

[damiendehorn]

Congrats to China, you always seem to exceed expectations.

This is fantastic news........and I was sort of expecting this.
The Chinese members here must be excited and very proud, of this news...............because this is going to be one hell of a fighting warship, and the fact that I have called it the 'Beast' in the past seems very appropriate!

I wonder if this vessel will be built in the hallway at JN shipyard next to the hallway where the current construction of the 052D is taking place.
Also, it will be interesting to see if the first 055 is built, in what we would expect a normal timescale for this vessel to be, or whether the construction of the vessel is fast tracked, as was the case of the first 052D no '172'.

I remember even just a year ago, that American military sites were saying that the Chinese 055 Cruiser was just a Chinese dream...........well with the mock-up at Wuhan, and now this steel cutting ceremony of the 055 at JN shipyard........it looks like the Chinese have got the last laugh.

LOL ... West media laugh Chinese dream, even 'cheaper' China FN-6 MANPADS can shoot down 'expensive' F-16 in Iraqi . I think right now American will change attitudes to Chinese weapons , the ISIS provided the shooting F-16 video on internet, i just saw it.

The construction of a monster ship like this can only mean that China has a long-term aim to challenge the US Navy.

If they want to challenge the U.S. Navy, they are going to need an even bigger destroyer.
