(In the coming years/future), there should be a large surface combatant warship type/class that is higher than the 055 DDG in terms of both positioning/role (定位) and displacement/tonnage (吨位). The warship will most likely be a CG in the traditional sense, rather than the so-called all-purpose warship (as previously proposed by Ma Weiming).
(It should also be noted that) the all-purpose warship concept was not proposed by naval design institutes or the navy itself, so the likelihood of it actually being realized is pretty low. This basically tracked with what pop3 had mentioned many months ago.
