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!
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.

Yes, 2x 30MW-class or 2x 40MW-class gas turbines and 2x 7MW-class diesel engines for a 052D/DG-successor in a CODOG or CODLOG arrangement, and 2x 40MW-class gas turbines + 2x 25MW-class or even 2x 30MW-class gas turbines for a 055-successor in a COGAG or COGLAG arrangement.
