055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

Looks like Z-20 has the perfect fitment for 055 hangers

My apologies if this has already been discussed, but what are the two rectangular shapes on the sides of the hull? See below.

The one on the left and aft of the ship are most probably doors for torpedo tubes. The one on the right and forward of the ship is ECM.

A newly released old image.

Why RAM-like CIWS in front and Gatling gun in the back?

101 at a recent exercise. The first image allegedly reveals a corner of the CIC.

check the 64 cell VLS at front

A nice CG comparison. Note the 052D (in the middle) is the stretched version.

Jiangnan starts no new destroyers at the moment

wait a minute just wait a minute

I see ONLY 7 x Type 726 LCAC in the shipyard, as opposed to 10, where are the other 3?????

could it be that those 3 are actually out doing operations or have they been moved to the bottom left side of the photo on dry dock where they usually sit out of sight ??

OR could they be testing a full load on them?? finally AFTER 36 months ?
