Again, I'm confident that there's only 32 VLS's in the mid. section. In this sense, the 055's firepower (excluding electronic warfare) would only be similar to that of an Arleigh Burke Flight IIA.
What makes you say 32 when even the spotter who has had a good look at the actual 055 under construction is saying 48?

Some day that will be when the two Type 055 are launched

The commotion that followed after the 1st launch can only imagine

The Military Museum in Beijing showcased a few old proposals for the 055's design. Basically an enlarged 052C with a SMART-L-esque VSR.

Boy, am I glad they went with the current 055 design. This one comes off as rather unoptimised, much like the 052C was compared to the 052D.

Very nice find. Any more pics of these proposals??

I used the wrong word. Should've said proposal, not proposals. As far as I know, this was the only old-iteration 055 that was displayed, and the Weibo account I got them from didn't have anymore besides these three.
