What’s missing is the 2 x Type 052D under build

At DL we have 3 x Type 055 and 5 x Type 052D (3 launched and 2 under construction)

Over 70,000 tons of warship in that single photo and that’s only one yard

Holy smokey !!

2 x CG ready

3 launched in 2-3 months ? Wow

Hopefully we see the 4th under construction at DL the 7th overall

And JNCX shows the 4th also the 8th overall by end of 2018

That would mean 4 in the water and 4 under build

If Dalian can launch both Type 055s on the same day itself, it would mark an amazing milestone. Even the US when it was building the Ticos did not have such an event taking place.
If China continues to build them at this rate, they would rival the Ticos in numbers built in just a mere 7-8 years. A stunning build rate like no other.

PLAN’s major surface combatants will rival and even exceed the powerful US 6th fleet by the end of the next decade. This will be even more evident when CV 18 joins the fleet. By then their organic air arm will be at parity.
They know exactly what they are doing with meticulous planning and ambitious procurement process for future naval power projection and being the big boss in the westPac.
