055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

[Iron Man]

Probably more a case of being unaware of how big the current modules already are, and misinterpreting the line of the freeboard deck.

Most of the people on the Chinese boards should know 055 will displace around 12,000 tons, so I can't imagine many would knowingly depict a battlecruiser sized ship deliberately in its stead.

Combined with a disproportionately narrow beam, I might add.

Could it be that the hull being the giant cutter? To me the cutter and 055 are same from the main deck below.

new photos?

is that just mock-up or bridge components for a real ship?

It's a full size mock-up...but more than a mock-up.

Sort of like the full size land-based mock-up of the Liaoning.

I believe they do all sorts of testing with these. Logistical tests...fabrication testing...damage control...they probably do analysis of movement throughout the ship. Things like that.

Then, as they come up with new designs for sensors and the like, they fabricate and test the fit on these mock ups.

Very useful tool for the PLAN.

The US has similar facilities where they even go so far as to install the entire sesnor suite and test them on land facilities.

The so-called "Cruiser in a corn field."



Inside they have a fully functional system.



...and they have expanded it in preparations for Flighjt III and the AMDR:

^ What is the likelihood that this is indeed Type 055 ? 80% ? Less ?

Where do you see it in this image? if it is refering to the blurred image, i think that that hull is way too big for it. But i could be wrong, this picture is just too far away for me to conclude anything.

It still can be anything
