Type 055 DDG News & Discussions

[cnleio]

This 12,000-13,000+ ton beast will be a true monster when it is released into the seas. When is the completion date again? I'm too lazy to dig around for the information right now.

It will be the largest DDG China built and the most VLS units on single ship (112x) ... maybe 2017 or 2018 out

 

[monitor]

It may cost around ~1.5 billion dollar if consider a Indian analyst estimate of per ton cost ~$100000 varies Chinese warship construction cost .

The very first order of Type 055 is 4 ships.

2016 to see China new 11,000+ ton Type055 DDG with 112 VLS cells (8x8 + 6x8) out ... here building get started, everything going fine.

112 VLS?

I thought it would be around 128 VLS.

112 VLS?

No, 112 is generally thought to be the correct number of VLS. Remember we have an improved HQ-16A and new generation of medium range same that can fit 4 missiles into a single VLS cell. The new missile, rumored to be HQ-26, would have approximately 70km range with maximum speed of Mach 2.5.

 

[hk299792458]

HQ-16A and HQ-16B are both land-based version. If you talk about the sea-based one it should be HQ-16 (AJK-16) and HQ-16G.

For 128 VLS, just wait for the Type 055A, since there will only have eight Type 055 being built eventually.

so if the type 55 were to carry 128 missiles it would be bigger than the US arliegh burke destroyers which on average carry 96 missiles and be more to the size of the sejong the great class destroyer which too carry 128 missiles
so its physical characteristics would be close this: Displacement: 8,500 tons standard displacement 11,000 tons full load, Length: 165 m, Beam: 21.4 m, Draft: 6.25 m,

Chinese vertical launch silo dimension is much bigger than MK41. You cannot compare in that way.

so the dimensions of the ship would be bigger.

 

[Beast]

so the dimensions of the ship would be bigger.

People will assume Chinese destroyer despite much bigger carries less silo than peer USN ship consider inferior or bad design. But Chinese designer has in mind giving bigger dimension of per silo for more room for upgrade and less restriction in terms of design and operation.

thats an idea that is used quiet commonly. the mk41 can store the tomahawk and a sm-6 also.

So as Chinese silo. CJ-10 cruise missile, HQ-9 SAM, HQ-16G, YJ-12 or YJ-18 and ASROC.

The versatile VLS used by both Type 052D and Type 055 are larger and more advanced than the MK-41, it is technologically comparable to the coming MK-57, but still bigger than the MK-57 in term of dimension.

Just look how many cells the future USN warships will have when they are using the larger MK-57.

DDG-1000: 80 VLS cells
ABIII: 96 VLS cells
