Right now the 128 vs 112 is not decided yet, and we have to wait to see the conclusive pictures of the VLS.
 
A lot of websites are reporting the type 055 as 10,000 ton, other non-news sources say 12,000 to 14,000 tons--which one is closer to the fact?

Even Global Times reports it as 10,000 tons.

This ship actually give out a lot of surprise. Maybe it's 128 units, who knows? The mast is much cooler than those on the CG.

Say

22 YJ18
16 YU8
32 HQ19
26 CJ10
32X4 HQ26

The most awesome fire power on the planet! :lol:
It's depends on the mission. A fleet consist of 4 055DDG is devastating!

I think that's just China media's conservatism in releasing full figures when it comes to accomplishments.
