the Type 055.

Empty or full? Given the fitted Type 055 is that much above the waterline compared to the 052D next to it, the load it can carry compared to the 052D is much greater, maybe as much as three times more.

He says the full displacement is 11 tonnes and the empty displacement is 9 tonnes. Might be worth mentioning that there has been some debate in this forum before about whether full displacement is the same as “max” displacement that I won’t get into here.

So this is my first reply here？？

He might also need to clarify if he is weighing it in short or long tons.

Maybe we should put it in some context. I just took the figures off from Wikipedia as it is convenient.

Tons in Full Displacement. Short tons for ABs and Ticos and possibly for the rest except the Type 45.

Type 052D - 7,500 tons
AB Flight I - 8,184 tons
AB Flight II - 8,300 tons
AB Flight IIa - 9,100 tons
AB Flight III - 9,600 tons
Tico - 9,600 tons
Type 45 - 8,400 long tons
Atago class - 10,000 tons
Kongo class - 9,500 tons
Sejong the Great - 11,000 tons

"Fake news" CNN has finally made an article on the Type 055 as the ships launching are being picked up by the mass media. The article gives me a feeling.

In Chinese always assume metric tonne.

In Chinese always assume metric tonne.

Okay, that gives it better context.

Short Ton - 907 kilograms
Metric Ton - 1000 kilograms
Long Ton - 1016 kilograms

 

[KIENCHIN]

Okay, that gives it better context.

Metric “ton” unit is written as tonne, that is how we differentiate between the two units.

 

[DaTang cavalry]

I think dosn't matter the full displacement 11000 ton or 12000 ton, he can say any about it, who exactly knows ?

I read that article but because it's old news so I don't bother to repost it here. Why do you call it fake news?
