LOL I think you missed the question mark in the first picture of the post you quoted, and you didn't read the related article linked Today at 8:14 AM
"...
According to visual documentation, the destroyer may be undergoing the installation of new hardware and may not be operational at this stage.



As opposed to the operational declaration of the ship last July, The photographs from recent months show that, in fact, the construction of the vessel is not complete. ..."
etc.:

The problem of this article is this supposed declaration last July. Nobody including PLAN made such declaration, except this article. So it looks like the author of this article fabricated this declaration, put it in the mouth of PLAN, then use this fabrication to "suggest" something or to further some agenda. This is typical propaganda tricks of "make something out of thin air, self-made, self-directed and self-performed drama".
 
let me see again ...

point #1
Today at 9:59 AM
... To assume or even deliberately suggest the first 055 DDG is already operation is plain wrong, stupid and again a deliberately misleading post. :mad:

...
which I called out Today at 5:01 PM
as the article we're talking about (

does NOT "assume or even deliberately suggest the first 055 DDG is already operation";

point #2 followed
Today at 7:22 PM
Honestly I fully got that questionmark but my point is why putting a "??" behind something that is more than obvious? Is heaven blue, is the pope a catholic and are women wonderful? There's no need to put a questionmark behind facts and fact is for everyone with the slightest bit of common sense this ship is not ready.
which contradicts point #1 by now implying the vessel is NOT operational

but you stated where you're heading:
I'm sure In a few weeks some other stupid report will be posted and pick up these images - maybe with thee questionmark removed - and tell us that the Chinese are so much dangerous ... and that 's why I think it is a deliberate misleading intention.

Anyway, just my 2 Cents.

Jura, the article is wrong.

The article says that China claimed the 055 was operational last July.

But no such claim was made.

Remember, the ship was only launched in late late June last year, so I think the article may have confused articles about the first 055 being launched with being operational.


Putting it another way, the people who wrote this article are either very stupid (how could they think a ship can be operational a few days after being launched), or they have read some false reports from last year. Or they might be deliberately trying to be deceitful.


But I think they are probably just stupid.


The reason why Deino was confused, is probably because he like most of us know it would be stupid to suggest that 055 was operational last July, and no one is aware of any claims made at the time either.

Btlzo is right... no logical person would ever assume a ship is operational days or even weeks after launch. Either the author was intentionally obtuse and created sensationalism where none existed or just a plain idiot.

quote please


Just read again the quote already given:

The first Chinese 055 destroyer was spotted at the Jiangnan shipyard by ImageSat analysts. According to visual documentation, the destroyer may be undergoing the installation of new hardware and may not be operational at this stage.

As opposed to the operational declaration of the ship last July, The photographs from recent months show that, in fact, the construction of the vessel is not complete. This documentation is consistent with

that these new ships will enter operational service in 2019.

Fact is however that no-one, esp. not a single Chinese source reported it as operational. So as others say this is plain wrong due to stupid research or a deliberate misleading part in order to assume whatever.

Again: Why pointing a "??" where there is nor ever was any doubt that this ship is still being outfitted.

so it looks like the article asked and answered a rhetorical question, as in "Do bears ... .... in the woods?" (LOL just to rephrase what you said Yesterday at 7:22 PM)

thanks, also to
