would you please describe/depict where you envisioned additional cells might be installed on Type 055, in what numbers?

Totally agree with the bold part.
But I really don't care the propaganda value as I don't care what others think or say.
And I think this is how PRC has been acting so far.
This just demonstrated their growing confidence in their navy development.
You don't need parity in number of cells to reach parity in capability.
I don't think size efficiencies can mask a 20-30 cm difference in cell diameter. Even if it could though, such a wide margin of difference reflects significant differences in growth margin. Chinese missiles won't lag behind the US's in basic technologies for much longer. In fact, in terms of basic technologies, they may have already caught up.
You could probably incorporate one more row by stretching the hull a little. It wouldn't have been that hard to do if they really wanted 128 per ship. After all, ships are not planes. There are still limits and trade offs to space, but those margins are significantly more relaxed.

at this point I kindly ask everybody not to refer to FORBIN, whom I reported yesterday in the afternoon in Europe, before Moderators address the situation (it sometimes may take them sixty or so hours, while in the past, when Jeff was fully active, it would be like ten hours max., day or night)be careful what you wish for ... you may get it instead
this is as much as I can do except starting to talk to FORBIN, which is still avoidable, I hope
