China too has mastered the art of shrieking in pain while striking an adversary.

What's with the double standard map? Showing EEZ oz oz and NZ but not actual chinese waters in SCS.
China may be looking to field naval guns of 155mm caliber on her future warships. The following excerpts are from a NORINCO article. Posted by @凯道前进九六甲 on Weibo.

Sino-AGS but it actually works!!!
More seriously though, what ship would this possibly be used on? A new large destroyer/cruiser?
Take off the 76mm gun from 071s ! : D
3x 071 LPDs and 1x 075 LHD moored together. Notice the 071 LPD furthest to the right.
Technically speaking, warships that are at least proper frigate-sized can be armed with such 155mm calibre naval gun (i.e. at least 5000+ tons), as the Germans had tested with their MONARC gun system on a Sachsen FFG back in the 2000s.
The main concern lies with the greater amount of force acting on the ship structure resulted from the recoil of the 155mm gun, compared to the 127mm and 130mm guns. Hence, the ship's structure around the gun must be reinforced to handle the recoil.
