Isn't the 055 successor still farther off than the 9-10k ton 052D successor? I wonder why they didn't just procure a couple more 055s instead of even more 052Ds.

The last costings I saw were:

Type-055 is 6 billion RMB
Type-052D is 3.5 billion RMB

You can see the Type-055 is a lot more expensive

052D/DG

Can we get an update to this chart? It's been a while so we should have more info now and I've seen some talk saying the 2nd batch of 055 is only 6 and not 8?

I seem to remember from a long while back that an 055 is 6B RMB but and 052D was 5B RMB... Don't know what's right and what's wrong or outdated...

A Type-055 costing only 20% more than a Type-052D doesn't sound correct
