Like I said before, with these new higher power gas turbines and the higher power diesels as used in the latest Type 054B a Type 052 replacement cruiser with two diesels and two gas turbines would have similar displacement to the 10,000 ton Type 055.China's indigenous CGT30 and CGT40 marine gas turbine engines that are of the 30MW and 40MW categories respectively have been officially announced and revealed by the CSSC!
Here's very hopeful that the successors to the 052D/DGs and 055s will be using them. China has officially entered Freedom Kingdom (自由王国) in the field of conventional marine propulsion!
