Re: destroyer 052d?

Hi

I have seen in two websites, references to DDG 052D, an 7000-9000t air defence destroyer, which will be/is being built in dalian shipyard. I wonder if there is any truth to it?

did you really have to start another thread for this?

First, how can they not have a follow-up to 052C? Do you really need to ask this question? Secondly, we don't know the exact detail on the displacement but 7000 to 9000 is reasonable considering how other PLAN classes have increased in size. It could be built in Dalian, but is most likely built in JiangNan like the other 052 series ships.

Check back in a couple years and ask again. There may (or may not) be an answer for you. :)

I doubt Dalian has enough expertise to build an advanced destroyer for the PLAN, if the 051C is any indication of their limitations.

Re: DDG 052C Thread

Yeah, the destroyer front for China has been quite quiet this year...

Does anyone have any information on maybe how far they are along with their (if any) next series of Destroyers?

They might be trying to work in how to navalize and fit on the S-400 (hey, we even have two pics of that system in China, though it's certainly not anywhere near IOC).

go to about 23 minutes and they start talking about the radar for 052C. Says that the initial testing was done in Gobi desert. It said they took about 6 months to solve the sea clutter problems with the radar. The part on 052C was only about 3 minutes. Most of the pictures you've seen recently came from this program.

Could easily been the cost.

If recent reports are to be believed, the KJ2000 AWACS radar costs around $200m. Compare their size to the size of the radar on the 052C and scale up the price tag.

中国最早从前苏联引进的4艘驱逐舰,吨位只有3000多吨,后来自己建造的第一代旅大级导弹驱逐舰,吨位也没有超过4000吨。之后建造的旅沪级导弹驱逐舰,吨位开始提高到了4000多吨。再后来的167号导弹驱逐舰将吨位提升到了6000多吨。而从俄罗斯购买的4艘现代级导弹驱逐舰,最大排水量达到了 8000吨左右。本世纪新建造的江南四舰的吨位标排达到了7000吨。正在建造和未来将要建造的新一代驱逐舰吨位肯定会更大,可望排水量超过万吨。

this is official source that said: Are under construction and the future will be to build a new generation of destroyers, will certainly be a greater tonnage is expected to displacement exceeding 10,000 tons.

above pictures that show 052C was under construction, clear to see the radar was installed.

Over 10,000 tonnes?? That would be a huge leap from the 052's...

I suppose that this source is credible enough.
If this source is true, I wonder if China would be planning to build a line of Arleigh Burke type destroyers, but larger? I see no other reason for a destroyer to be over 10k tonnes unless they're planning to put lots of VLS's on it.

But before I get too carried away and getting hopes up, I suppose we can only confirm this news when we actually see a destroyer being built.

Re: DDG 052C Thread

I wouldn't say that's a huge leap but rather the next step.

I wonder whether they are going to put the HQ-9 or HQ-16 on the next big destroyer?
