055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

[Blitzo]

just cross posting the relevant part from here https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/plan-breaking-news-pics-videos.t7079/page-250#post-524862

A bevy of new rumors have been posted by FZGFZY, which I have posted in the appropriate threads.

This particular one pertains to the PLAN in general:

Translation: "4+ aircraft carriers, materials for 12 Type 055s, at least 30+ Type 052D/Es"

Follow-up comments:


Q: "It was originally said that there would be 6+ aircraft carriers."
FZGFZY: "Let's just say that it has already been determined."


Q: "Does the first batch consist of eight Type 055s?"
FZGFZY: "Eight is the figure that I stated many years ago (is now outdated). There are at least 12+, not too much since there is still the Type 055A."

Looks like we can expect a good few more 055s until they move onto the next variant.

I'd be interested to see a satellite photo of the DL drydock to see if modules for DL's no. #3 and #4 are starting to be assembled like the first pair or if they're changing it up and assembling #3 by itself.

30+ Type 052D and Type 052E what’s a 052E?

We have Type 052DL extended deck

What is new on 052E?

We first have 18 x Type 052D but that seems to have changed changed ?

This is probably a stupid question but why does an 055 have a Japanese flag on it?

Pennant One. Alone it means nothing but when used with two or three flag combinations, it adds emphasis to alert and danger. This is just like the ship saying GTFO of my way.
