055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

[Anlsvrthng]

Each ball shaped head in the bender machibe can rotate independently. Also notice they press in a particular order not just all are once.

Looks like the low side of the tool fixed into position, the upper side is the one that generating the bending force.
The upper end moving staged more likely because there is one high pressure, low volume pump driving all pin.

Actualy, it make only convex corves from the view of the upper tool, the surface force on the edged of the plate has to point toward the middle of the pin stack.

But it can make all plate on a ship hull.

However the thickness of the plates is thin, maybe the 055 has double hull?

The AB has single hull, based on the container ship collisions.

I read somewhere (maybe in this thread) that the hull of 055 is, for the first time, using some sort of new steel that is lighter for the same strength (I assume it means it is thinner)

055 probably does not have double hull. The thickness (or rather the thinness) of modern warship hulls usually comes as a shock to people who don't know how thin they are these days. Probably not even enough to stop a 14.5mm AP round from penetrating. The type of steel used (or even worse aluminum) varies depending on different locations on the ship. The USN uses HTS (high tensile steel) in most areas with some HY-80 in certain critical areas.

I don't think 055 has double hull

Much of the more grandiose projects like the Kirov and Ulyanovsk were more of a Cold War mentality of keeping up with the Joneses than one born of practical thought.

Much of the cold war grandiose projects steamed from very real needs and threat developments, even if some of them evolved in a crazy way.

Thus the destroyer's nickname - tin can.

Cpe on PLA...let's see the second one launched and the first one going to sea! Both of those events are coming soon.

This looks like the award ceremony of JN (the builder of the first Type 055) for 2017 Innovation Award. These are probably the inventors of the CNC press machine, is my best guess.
