055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

[Deino]

based on content and form I think 'Marjohn' = former 'Forbin' = former 'Labrador'

I don't think so ... He at least speaks and writes in a readable English.

incredible... of course, because it's partly wrong!
Not the launch tonnage, it's OK. But ... numbers don't show the real world.
But don't forget that:
1. the CV 17 is not ops (if the Cv 16 is, that's not really the case if we see the number of planes that are used to be aboard)
2. when one new DDG is arriving, one old DD is leaving...
3. the number of ships has never been the right way to evaluate a navy
4. a fighter is not a sailor, and it's easier to be a fighter.

are you lovely Forbin ?

 

[Mirabo]

Check it

Still incomplete.

Can we start taking guesses at what this one might be?

 

[Marjohn]

no

 

[antiterror13]

no

thanks

 

[ougoah]

Well. He's convinced me.

From that angle I have no idea what it might be or if it is even modules for a ship in the first place.

I know in Germany we have a saying: "Man wächst mit seinen Aufgaben" (= You grow with your tasks), but for the moment I think I'm not even close a genius like him (at least in naval issues).

Nothing near a "genius," certainly I would say your PLA unit tracking and orbat knowledge far exceeds my overall PLA knowledge.

For the record I am not sure what interstellar is referring to in that picture. There is something possibly interesting in the area that @Higgle already highlighted in #6647 but the angle is too poor for us to tell if that is anything under construction. If @Interstellar believes there is something in that picture that has been missed, I think we would all appreciate it if a clear answer and an arrow could be provided.

How many hangars did you count in the block stockyard?

Only two; one for 055 and one for 052D, looking to be joined to the 055 and 052D that are in the drydock being assembled because they lack their hangar structures yet.

Will Type 055 join the destroyer flotillas of form a new surface flotilla ?

Anyone have any idea

My bet is it will be mixed with current DDG units

Which fleet is getting 101? SSF?
