The overall vessel looks a lot like a cross between the Aussie Hobart AEGIS design and the Daring Class of the UK. That enclosed, intergated mast is a stealth feature, like what is on the USS San Anotnio LDP class. The gun is a knock off of the AGS on the new DDG-1000 Zumwalt class. Stealthy and probably capable of advanced dsitance munitions, either the 130mm or 155mm of the Zumwalt.
All in all, I believe it would be quite sea worthy. The Ticos of the US Navy appear top heavy too...and initially there were some difficultiies...but thoise were all solved and now, irrespective of how they look, they are considered very sea worthy and good handling vessels in all sorts of sea states.

Maybe 12,000 tons.
It's a badly thought out CG, but I expect the 055 or whatever the PLAN's CG ends up being designated as, to look something like this, with an integrated mast and a much stealthier exterior, and possibly even 2+ ciws mounts.
Hehehe...can't blame them for dreaming...and if you are going to dream, you might as well dream of Heaven.
Who knows where they will be in 20-30 years? Time will tell.
But you can bet, in that same time frame, the US will have moved forward as well and the next class of carrier will be on the drawing boards...and the Ford's will be equipped with a whole new array of aircraft, self defense weapons, and capabilities that will make us really old men (by that time if we are still breathing) simply stand in amazement.
