now US Navy canceling program to turn gas-guzzling destroyers into hybrids... The mechanism was something more along these lines:
I don't have the exact article but it was in relation to finding ways to increase GT efficiency by retrofitting waste heat recovery systems on board warships.
while "Future LSC-class" is only planned for 2030+ according to the USNI NewsThe relative lack of power generation capacity on the Arleigh Burke class is one reason why the railgun at Dahlgren won't get sea trials for a long time.
Presumably, we should see a USN effort to test a railgun at sea once the Future Surface Combatant project goes into high gear (say, five years down the road).
Is that four Type 055s under construction...or just the two forward in the lic?
I would be surprised if, at this point, they built anything less than 16.If I'm understanding this correctly, he was told by someone of importance that 8x Type 055s aren't enough, and that at least 13 or 14 will be built in the short term.
The Type 055A is more or less confirmed, and a build quantity already planned for, so he can't say how many 055s there actually will be.
How sure are we of this image and the pennant. it looks somewhat PS'd to me.looking good, 055 - designated 101 ...
some CG but rather realistic...
enjoy...
Umm, you do realize that work for the LSC needs to start in the mid 2020s for it to enter service in the 2030s.fanboish bunk:

I am anxious to see what the pennant number is.
I am the only one I know of here in the states who has a model of the Type 055 in 1/350 scale and I got chatter indicating 180, which is what I gave her, but will gladly change that to whatever it is:
