055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

Only thing I dont like is that the rear mast really seem to feature some sort of SATCOM.

Man, how I wish it was a Smart-L kinda thing...

There is still all sorts of outfitting that occurs after launch.

There may yet be some sensors added back there that we are not seeing yet.

I would wait until they near first builder's sea trials before you form a final opinion about the sensor array.

good gosh those lines

Yes...the lines of a thoroughbred beauty!



Hehehe..now I simply HAVE to get a 1/350 scale model of one of these.

Come on Trumpeter! What's the hold up! LOL!

The level of completion tho... It looks like it is ready for immediate trials.

Is the radar same size as on the 052D or does it looks bigger?

 

[Insignius]

I wonder what that array is above the national flag, starboard side. Large ECM array?

Wow! This beauty looks much more stealthier than other 10k+ cruisers like Ticonderoga/Sejong which are obviously older. Considering how China was still building 052B 12 years ago, she seems to have caught up to everyone else but the US at this point.

Still waiting for the top-down view, to count the VLS cells as well as see if the bow is indeed the stealth-optimised enclosed design as rumoured.
