They have to fit in all the loading and elevation mechanisms (remember, the 130mm cannon fires at higher angles than a tank gun, for starters).
052C/052D Class Destroyers
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
2 052Cs, and 4 052Ds in varying stages of service, sea trial, and fitting out, for six aegis type DDGs all at that one shipyard.
And elsewhere in there are 4 052Cs and the first 052D all in service, and 052D hull two somewhere on sea trials.
So altogether they now have a grand total of twelve aegis type 052C/Ds in the water. I suspect within two years, the remaining six 052Ds will also be launched, thanks to production by both JN and DL. I also expect at least one 055 hull to be launched before the last 052D is launched.
It really is quite amazing, just two years ago, the idea of 052Ds being produced "dumpling style" would've been called unrealistic. But now, we're even beginning to entertain the idea of 055s being produced serially in coming years. PLAN really has done well for itself.

Excellent and great to see the fruits of the hard work
I hope they can mix and match the Type 055 CG with the Type 052C/D flotillas
So let's say they have 2-4 DDG supplemented by 2 x CG in a single flotilla
That way they could build say 12 x Type 055 CG and give the DDG units good experience with inter operability

Dumpling.
Basically when ships are built at high rate, like dumplings.
Let's refrain from using these term that maybe well known on Chinese bbs, but not familiar elsewhere (especially for our non-Chinese members)
I've only seen the term used by posters here or on CDF, I don't go on the Chinese BBS much. Besides, it's not a very hard to decipher metaphor, assuming one knows what a dumpling is.
In any case, I don't see anything wrong with using a few terms or sayings so more people here know what they mean.
