Henri removed the post altogether. I just checked but it seems that 155 should be a Type 052D destroyer instead - probably why the post was removed.
To change the subject completely, anyone here sees any sign when the second Type 055 would be launched?

LOL if I didn't know the status, I'd get fooled by this one:

Anyone with half a brain, can see that this is all nonsense. It can take upto 2 years to outfit a Destroyer of the calibre of an 052D, and then, and only then after sea trials will a vessel be given a pennant number. As the 055 is a larger and more complex vessel, one can assume it will take longer to outfit than a 052D, unless its construction is fast tracked as was per the first 052D.
Now we all like to see what a finished vessel will look like, but someone photo shopping a warship with a guessed pennant number on it, and saying its nearly finished construction........is quite pathetic honestly!

Don't know how Odeo interpreted that. Fzgfzy said eight 055s was confirmed years ago but don't be surprised if more are ordered as 10k+ tonne combatants will number more than a dozen according to PLAN requirements. The 055A (or 055B according to pop3) will definitely happen but fzgfzy doesn't know exactly when it will arrive.
