Excerpts from a master's thesis written by a student at Harbin Engineering University. It speculates on the future design trends of destroyers. The illustrations show a platform on the basis of Type 055, demonstrating a possible evolution. Don't take the thesis too seriously, sharing it here purely for information purposes.

Nice

Did they happen to cite where the CGI came from, because I swear I've seen something similar by one of the prolific fan CGI makers on Weibo or something

I always thought the future of destroyers would be more space for vtol aircraft (unmanned, manned, heavy utility, attack) and uuv, usv.

Unfortunately no.

Fantastic design! Is it supposed to be nuclear? I ask because I can't find the intakes.
