“On a Type 052D destroyer, the 8 silos near the superstructure are for hot launch anti-ship missiles, the ones in front for cold launch anti-aircraft missiles for example. The VLS is of CCL type which supports two different types of launch.”
Any idea why the PLAN would make the choice of hot launch being closer to the superstructure?
