Type 055 DDG News & Discussions

[ChineseTiger1986]

then for 7 of these with local license production it will cost $550millionx7=$3850 million = $3.850 Billions which makes around $4 Billions along with training and support.

Sure, China could sell a such high quality product like hotcake.

But I think it will not be started until 2016, since right now we need to fulfill the need of PLAN first.

What about License production....

What about License production....

Only for those nations who have some degree of shipbuilding capability.

For example, even the countries like Japan and South Korea need the license production for the Arleigh Burke class DDG.

Around $550 million per unit, @rcrmj has mentioned it above.

Wow - only 550 million dollar a unit?!

BD should put in a order for 2 immediately.

Type 055 need be built in double digit numbers, it along with Type 1A-3 carriers and LHD are top priority for the PLAN.

It is expensive, $550M is the construction costs, the life-time costs for training and maintaining are many times than that``you have to take these factors into consideration

But I reckon 054A is good for BD, its reliability, efficiency and all-round capability is the best in South Asia

One of the most advanced DDG in the world, it gives Chinese navy the ability to operate against its potential rival on the high sea.

No that's only the test site from the naval institute (do not know the exact designation right now; sorry) located at Wuhan.
