- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
Type-055 Nanchang launched YJ-18 AShM missile
there is a typo in this chart, it says "range 70000 miles"````````
Amazing Chinese photography making the largest destroyer in the world looking like a corvette.A magazine scan of 106.

Some images of the various watertight doors, watertight hatches, and firefighting and damage control equipment onboard a 055. I'm sharing these for the record, just in case a certain 'journalist' in the future claims that he didn't see watertight doors and damage control equipment on his alleged tour of a 055.

While looking at the most recent EO satellite imagery of Jiangnan Shipyard by Sentinel 2, I spotted this particular hull module assembly at #1, which is immediately right next to/right at where the 9th 055 DDG was once located before launching, which is at #4:
The 9th 055 DDG should be fitting out at #2 right now.
Previously, we have spotted a new DDG hull module assembly located somewhere around #3, which is said to be the 10th member of the 055 class.
Hence, IMHO, judging by the rough measurement of the hull module assembly's beam at #1 - Either the DDG hull assembly somewhere around #3 (likely the 10th 055 DDG) has been moved to #1, or (if non-civilian) we could be seeing a new DDG hull module assembly.
For the latter, that new hull module assembly at #1 could either belong to a new (3Xth) 052DG DDG, or the 11th 055 DDG.
However, this is purely based on my own observation, which can be completely inaccurate. Hence, further detailed observation is certainly required. And I'd prefer that this observation isn't posted on any social media until further confirmation or refutation has been made.
