Generally that level of damage takes just 2-3 months at most.
The fact that the most damage done to both sides is by self ramming is ludicrous. Playing bumper cars was always a dumb tactic that only alienated everyone with little pay off. You either ram to sink or just don't do it at all.
Longer video with damage shown.
Hull maybe. But how do you know the impact didn't affect subsystems, propulsion and weapon systems. Warships are pretty complex and high tech nowadays
They will have to revalidate all subsystems to ensure that everything works as it should with no performance degradation. And if something isn't working as it should (debugging and repairing time I guess). Could be a lengthy period
Yeah. It is a consequential loss for peacetime standards. The DDG will need repairs. There are probably wounded people. And that CCG vessel could be written off.
I will write once again. The entire SCS situation is embarrassing for China. And it is only continuing because the Chinese govt is playing the game according to adversary rules. Whoever ordered that DDG to play bumper to bumper should be sacked too.

Upps ... as it seems, the CCG 3104 collided with the PLAN Type 52D hull 164.
Chinese Coast guard ship crashed into Type 052D. It sustained relatively little damage compared with the coast guard.
saw the news. What a stupid blunder this time by the Chinese ngl
They will likely trial that immediately. Because the hull wasn't breached. Then the ship will go into dry dock for repairs. Then if subsystem level repairs were done it will do some sea trials again. But I would speculate that the damage is unlikely. Shock resistance is a feature in military items.
