Check the quality of the work on the inside of the Type 052C, it looks really modern and very professionally done

The wiring is clean and well rooted, I am impressed I just wonder the level the Type 052D is on
Well, honestly I don't know what you were expecting.

Nice brass models but those super detailed made by those who served aboard gives me always a 'warmer' feeling. Brass is good for exhibition in the shipyard's museum or navy's buildings in my opinion.

Well I did not say anything about what we should or should not be expecting , its jus my observation and just my thoughts on what we see

This now means that both 150 and 151 are serving and hopefully they can get both 152 and 153 done next year

I also hope either 150 and 151 can be deployed on anti-piracy missions next year would be very good

What does the gold-plated (which you refer to as "brass") model have anything to do with Asif's observation of the 052C's interior?

Excuse me if this question has already been answered!...................but what i want to know is

Has the 4th 052D named 'Chengdu' actually been launched??

I ask because there was a Chinese media source that said this ship had been launched in November 2013, but i havnt seen any pictures of said event to prove this, and many sources, still state the launching of the vessel wont happen until the early months of 2014.

Thanks!

re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer

151 Zhengzhou only got inducted today ? They took their time, 29 months after her launch ! And what is the status of 152 Jinan ?

why did it take 29 months to get it commissioned ? did it have a lot of serious issues ?

I'd expect 152 and 153 would get commissioned a lot faster, perhaps in the first half of 2014 ..... let's see ..... time will tell

Well 151 got its pennant number months ago, and I think it was in de facto service by then...

who knows why the only formally commissioned it now.
