055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

But it seems your arithmetic is a off in some way:

If JNXC started the first in mid 2015 and launched it mid 2017, it takes them two years from start to launch. It was the same with the second one, only they started a year later. But it sounds like you agree that work began on a third once the first drydock was free, so that another will be launched mid 2019. If the pattern repeats with the other drydock, this means a fourth will come from JNXC in 2020, so that they are doing one per year by themselves.

Meanwhile, if Dalian started their two boats concurrently in August 2016 and put them in the water in July 2018, it amounts to more or less the same rate: one ship per year (or slightly more). Following the same procedure, there should be another two out from Dalian in 2020, and this makes a total of 8 in four years.

I highly doubt that Dalian will lay the keel for simultaneous construction of next two Type 055

There is 2 x Type 052D infront of the dry dock where the Type 055 were sitting

Until they are launched they won’t build 2 more units in the same position othewise how can they launch the 2 x Type 052D ? Their access will be blocked

Well it may be possible by moving current under construction 052Ds units at a place where 055s were constructed. And then they can start construction of other two 055s at the same place of 052Ds.

Does the beast have a different and darker camo ?

 

[Red Moon]

Does the water pouring out of the sides of these two boats mean they're about to go somewhere? Sea trials?

That comparative photo between the 055 and 052 really shows the scale of the new ship. I didn't know it was that much larger.

La différence en taille entre un Type 052D et un Type 055 est assez notable sur cette photo de Huanqiu News, prise aujourd'hui dans la matinée à Dalian.

The difference in size between a type 052D and a type 055 is quite noticeable in this photo of Huanqiu News, taken today in the morning in Dalian.

the Type 055.

All four of the PLAN's (Chinese Navy's) first Type 055s Crusier sized vessels (12,000 tons) are now launched

#1 28 June 2017 Jiangnan
#2 28 April 2018 Jiangnan
#3 03 July 2018 Dalian
#4 03 July 2018 Dalian

That's simply ipressive.

Some of the nicer more recet photos all together. Very impressive to see the two new Type 055s coming out together.
