Re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
I don't know if there are any rules against linking too many photos (I checked but couldn't find any prohibitions), but if you guys object to my uploading too many, please let me know.
The following batch is from a port call in Hong Kong by DDG 171 (052C).

I think it was in 2012, and no, I wasn't there. I got the photos off the web. I have a lot more of these 'tourist' photos of 052C, but it's hard to find them from all the photos of PLA hardware on my drive.

Re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
Do you know if those "tourists" were for example shipyard's workers or family members of the crew (I mean somebody "trusted" ... after a careful background check or if I came from Prague just like that, obviously a tourist in Shanghai, they would let me on board, too ?? I wouldn't fly there even if they did, don't worry, am just an armchair admiral LOL

Re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
From what I can tell once these ships dock, if there are any public days planned, anybody can hop onboard. I've seen Russians, Greeks, Pakistanis, Aussies, Kiwis, and even the Maltese touring them. Tickets are required, but they are free I believe.

The only prohibition right now is no more than fifteen per post.
Stunning and great Hi-res pics of the Type 052C and Type 052D. Keep 'em coming.

Re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer
With the new larger naval gun mount in the face of the Type 730, doesn't that reduce the Type 730's firing angles and therefore coverage and effectiveness? If so, why didn't the design heighten the Type 730 base by a few feet? I guess it then gets in the way of the AEGIS-type radar?
