Re: DDG 052C Thread
well, the guy that posts most of the pictures from Shanghai has started a thread saying that there are current 3 (yeah, 3) followups to 052C under construction at JiangNan shipyard and we will start seeing those later this year (as you know, it's harder to see that shipyard now that it has relocated). Apparently, it's 9000 tonne in displacement (which means they will announce it to be 7500 tonne) and there is a 64 cell VLS.

Re: DDG 052C Thread
Thanks.
Are these followups all of the same class? And does this "guy" mention any modifications to the VLS from the 052C (i.e.: common VLS like Mk 41)? Any indications on SAM's, or Land Attack Cruise Missiles?
Thanks.
Re: DDG 052C Thread
Three at once? 9000 ton displacement? That is a significant undertaking in and of itself.
It will be interesting and exciting to see pics of that once they reach a point where they can be seen and identified.

Re: DDG 052C Thread
Wow three ships at the same time. I just wonder when I will see 12 ships built at the same time with 9,000 tonne displacement?

Re: DDG 052C Thread
Well, if they're ready with the R&D part, it makes good sense to start massive construction now. Material, labour costs & shipyard spaces will be very favourable compared to the boom years.
Not to mention it helps with the stimulus programs they're pushing thru.

Re: DDG 052C Thread
Is all the best Chinese navy hardware can be found on a 052C? How does 052C compared to U.S destroyers such as Arleigh Burke destroyer? I want to get at least some sense of it..

Just click on the "AEGIS Ships" and "AEGIS-Like Ships" buttons, and on the "Analysis" button.
You can compare them at the following site:

Re: DDG 052C Thread
I'm wondering why the 3 destroyers would need 64 VLS...
Either their multifunctional VLS, or different VLS OR 64 SAM's. The latter of which I think is unlikely.
If the VLS's are multifunctional, I am kind of dissapointed it's only 64. I was hoping weapons loads would rival the Arleigh Burke class... But beggers can't be choosers I suppose.
