CG-illustrated, by @大包CG on Weibo, based on the photo above - What if both ships met on the open sea and passing each other side-by-side instead?



DD-101 Anshan to DDG-101 Nanchang:
"My son, I have managed to accomplish my assigned duty of protecting China and her people for 38 years non-stop. Now it's your turn to carry the torch of this sacred duty from me. Do your best, and may the entirety of the Chinese nation and population be with you!"

PS: Someone should probably make a CG-animated clip on comparing the older PLAN versus the modern PLAN, including a duty handover scene/transition from older warships to newer warships.

The old 101 looks still good enough for most warship in SEA or many part of Asia and Africa

I once boarded the 6607-type destroyer(101) named ""Anshan" in the Naval Museum as a tourist in 2011. At that time, several high school students were discussing that China would be able to build the best warship in the world after 5 years. I used to internally laugh at their childish optimism.

Well, now I admit that people sometimes need a little optimism, who knows that one day our dreams will come true by accident.

Today I saw a thread on a Taiwan's BBS said that 055 seems have too wide passage and nearly no exposed pipes on both sides of the passage.
They listed the different case inside Arleigh Burke and some responses questioning the damage control of 055 based on that point.
Let‘s forget the deliberate demeaning that comes from hostility，seriously，what do you guys think of this?

Type 055 has a beautiful design

This sounds similar to a lie my wife tells me.
