I’m just curious. I always noticed that modern Chinese naval guns had different tubes below and above the barrel. Does anyone know what functions they serve? Are they hydraulics, some sort of cooling system, recoil dampening system, apart of the reloading system?One more magazine scan.
why skip numbers 103 and 104?
I don't know what the lower bar is, but the top element is some sort of fire control radar.
This is an 052 but you can see the square element:
101 - 104 were assigned to those built at JNCX; 105 - 108 to those at Dalian. 101, 102 have been commissioned to North Sea Fleet. 103 & 104 are undergoing sea trials now.
radar antenna is just the small plate sitting on top of the barrel. the tubes on top and below the barrel are likely to be the recoil cylinder, which is a damper that absorbed the recoil movement of the barrel and breach, and the recouperator, which pushes a recoiled barrel back into battery for the next shot.

I think for the 055, both tubes are part of the recoil damping system.
That's one good looking shipOne more magazine scan.
Just wait til it gets a rail gun up front.
The railing around the f’c’stle are clearly designed to be folded down flat against the deck. The f’c’stle is clearly designed to not be manned at all once the ship is at sea.
