For you, Jeff. This photo from past week had only existed in low-resolution, until now...

Thanks.

I had seen it in a 1200 pixel wide format, but not the 1600 wide one you showed.

Anyhow, as the PLAN finishes outfitting the first Type-052D, she will soon start looking like this:


...and then go on trials and look more like this:


Also, a word to the wise.

Is it just me, or somebody used pictures I took without asking? Who else do you think was sitting in that pic? The entirety of that post and the last 3 pics in the post before that are taken by me during that day.

That's not the best way for a new member to start out in a forum, is it not?

so as a naval newbie, i gotta ask... from all the phase array radars I've seen, none of them has a array feed like the Type 052C/D or is that not what the pole is under the radar is...

I think I remember you posting those pictures back then. I doubt those other pics originally posted on XFFW had the photographer's permission neither.

Holy smokey! That's fast and what exactly are these vessals and how come there is two of them

They are definitely from the second hall way Mild Sonata and the colour was visible in the left hand hall they are now launched

Looks like the hallway was now empty, question is are they going to build more of these from that left hand hall or are we going to see something else like D5

My guess is these ships are big and that hall way probably went through some retooling work so I doubt they will switch it back to building DDG back in there they might use that hall for this type of work

Re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer

Here we can see the unit under construction with the name

On a side note by78 you have flooded threads with old pictures and it's diluted out all the new up to date discussions we have been having we don't need to see pics after pics of same old thing we get the point, to keep the thread active and interesting we discuss only new developments

I agree.

Re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer

At one point there were three bridge structures sitting outside the building Hall, waiting for the container ships to be rolled out, and I think you can still see one in A. Man's picture 1, so expect one more.

Similarly, the mast for D4 is sitting outside, so perhaps the launching is not so far away.
