^^^ Looks a bit ugly but all that counts is the sensors and weapons at the end of the day.

Yep, all futuristic things may look ugly at the first glance, just like when i first saw the Type 052C back in 2003, i found it ugly compared to the traditional warships without any radar signal reduction hull.

But now, the Type 052D has been praised with its beauty.

BTW, this is the experimental module of the Type 45 on the land.

@ChineseTiger1986 : What do you think the build rate of the Type 055 will be?

Now the Type 055 definitely looks like a weirdo, so it must have used a lot of unprecedented futuristic technologies.

So before 2020, China is likely to build 2 experimental units just like the ships 170 and 171 of the Type 052C.

Until 2020, when the overall integrated system becomes more mature, the coming Type 055A may come into a much larger mass production. And i think that the Type 055A may also consider the nuclear propulsion, since China doesn't have the oversea military bases, it can have a lot problems with the replenishment. So the nuclear propulsion can overall ease a lot of these problems.

So we can look forward to Type 055A paying visits to BD, Sri Lanka and Pakistan on a regular basis?

When the port of Gwadar is ready, then you will have a lot of chance to see these ships patrolling around the Indian Ocean.

Chinese presence in Indian Oceean is very much required for a peaceful and prosperous South Asian region.

This should be the authentic look of the Type 055, but at least it does look much better than DDG-1000.

awesome

Possible configurations in the eyes and mind of a “fanboy”：

个人补脑055完工状态，不知和真实会是咋样

个人感觉还是双桅杆靠谱点

再加一个，动力中置，类似伯克级的布局

is there any picture of 054b

You could be looking at it：

Still very much work in progress。And according to some insiders，design for Type 055 has been more or less finalized。

most probably none of the above. clearly the structure is not completed yet.

Maybe this one：

I guess 8,000ton can finish this 055 design, not we talked 12,000ton. How many VLS plan to install on it, 128x or more ?
