Could I suggest that you make the English less colloquial and make it flow more logically and fully from each point.

I'd be surprised if the Type-55 VLS cells aren't slanted, which would definitely allow for multiple missiles from the same bank to be cold-launched simultaneously. In fact, couldn't the VLS slant in 4 directions, therefore allowing 4 missiles to be cold launched simultaneously?

Also, the capacity of an X-Band AESA to provide guidance for "hundreds" of missiles is not an overstatement.

The specifications for the Thales Netherlands APAR reflects the fact that European navies don't need to provide terminal guidance to hundreds of SAMs. So it's just a question of dedicating processing power and TR modules to the task.

And with the proposed Chinese arsenal ship, there presumably would be a requirement for a Type-55 to guide hundreds of SAMs at the same time.

That bow array may just possibly be the new standard HMS array for all destroyer-sized ships. Burkes and Ticos have had arrays of this size from the very beginning.

Lots of activities going on the inside, as indicated by all the blue pipes used to (probably) vacate the fumes...

The blue flexible plastic tubings are temporary air-conditioning supply and return ducts, it is summer in the northern hemisphere at the moment. Without air-conditioning it would be unbearably hot.

Same ship...

they definitely didn't launch another new 055 at the same shipyard after just two weeks...

So what is the purpose of launching a ship? I thought that when you launch it, everything is ready for sea trial.

No there is a long time of installing equipment after launch, once the ship is in the water. Sometimes that can take a few years.
