Why 112 cells and not 128 cells?

48+64 Our CCL silo is much larger than Mk41.112 is enough

Only 8billion $ for China, not expensive.

And when will the initial unit be put into the water?

Only 8billion $ for China, not expensive.

True, our national defense budget is rising, no worry. So the next batch 055 would be full electric propulsion?

Using mostly mature technology and you know China's shipbuilding capacity.

055 is a large and versatile platform. We are sure to see variants(055A, B) with more futuristic weapons such as railgun, laser weapons and new types of missiles for land attack, air-defence, space defence etc

I've seen this picture posted a couple of times, but its only now when you look closer that you can see what appears to be a modified CIWS system, in front of the bridge superstructure, though it appears, to be on a same level, as the main gun! I presume this vessel will be built at JN shipyard, and as a naval enthusiast look forward to seeing production soon!

ps: I like the tree camourflage scheme of the 055........
