what surprise me is that 055 is "only" 200 mil more expensive than 052, while 055 is significantly much more powerful.

No, according to a PLA Navy rear admiral, 052D cost 3.5 billion RMB (roughly 0.5 billion USD), and 055 cost 5.5 billion RMB (roughly 0.83 billion USD).

I think, that Cost is for "Hull" only paid to Shipyards.
But all Weapons and Electronics Equipment onboard that vessels paid for Different contractor is not included.
In this case you need to add another half.
1.5 x 0.83 billion USD = 1.25 billion USD for Type 055 Heavy Destroyer.
Still much Cost Efficient compare to western shipyards.
Anyway, Money is not a Problem for China.
I see the rail gun
These are 055 No. 3 and No. 4 in factory in Dalian, a different factory from the factory in Shanghai where the 055 No. 1 was launched and 055 No. 2 is under construction.
Also, these facotries are preparing metarials for 055 No. 5, 6, 7, 8 and ???
Sound GOOD ~ if China keep building these type052D type055 DDGs in 3x - 4x CSSC shipyards ... after five years there will be global-powerful Navy in Asia, to own 30+ modern DDGsAlso got news new large shipyard name CSSC Guangzhou Longxue Shipbuilding at Longxue Island, GuangZhou, will start built large Destroyer on 2018 for South PLAN, but not sure is 055 or 052D/E. heard Guangzhou huangPu shipyard (built PLAN frigate only due to small space) will move to this Longxue Island shipyard since merge to CSSC.
