055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

[feilinreg]

That 055 looks like she's getting ready for trials. Modules perpendicular to that 055 has been deliberately blurred out. Hmm. Could be more destroyers?

No more destroyers here. Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company built new facility in Dayang shipyard. Destroyer building will move to there.

Easy to photograph like before? Or will it be difficult?

Nice.

There is only one drydock however, unless they plan on using the space beside it.

That dock is the place where the Dalian destroyers get their sonars fitted, and that might be the case of the first picture.

But the second picture? That seems like an unpainted ship, and a 055 at that? Is that a new build 055?

It looks like they cranking out more type 055 modules in those assembly factories.

There is one giant dry dock at the bottom

Not new. And it's across the bay from where the carriers were built (~NorthEast direction).

Across the bay if you look at Google Earth or Maps. Its actually an old shipyard, I still remember seeing Han class submarines being repaired and refitted on that same drydock long long time ago via Google Earth.

And there is coastal defense missile base (or SAM) directly south of the shipyard.
