I wonder why the PLAN didn't or couldn't add an extra row of VLS at the rear launch area. Seems like an easy thing to do.

Wonder whether the decision was political? To prevent an arms race?

This vessel should have alot of designed in potential for growth. What do you think guys?
I've been nursing a thought in my mind that a future IEP iteration of the 055 will be able to do away with the two forward GTs and a bank of 2 UVLS modules will replace them.

the USN decided to operate unarmed scrap called LCSs to feed two shipyards, and the USN has been offered "meaningful armaments on the LCS structure" rather long time ago:
.........
if you want, google for instance
'lcs derivative for saudi arabia'
to see what the USN LCSs could've been and to realize how the Pentagon crippled its lighter surface forces
Key word here is "meaningful." For that, look at the proposals for the next gen frigate competition. Lockmart dropped out completely because they realize their LCS design simply cannot meet requirement. Australs keep having to lengthen their LCS boat in order to accommodate the missile counts

why bother?
it's the configuration the Pentagon could've ordered almost a decade ago, and now it looks like it's offered again:

so? tell me why the Pentagon operates unarmed LCSs instead
I've been following this LCS circus for years, I've read most of texts on it available in Internet, chest-thumping, detractors, official, whatever,
and I just don't know

oooohhhh PICTURES of GUNS and MISSILES and STUFF is basically your argument-___- What are those missile types? Are the amount of the types provide tactical advantage against a near peer or peer? Are there radars installed that would allow the ship to independently track and shoot at a tactical distance against an enemy equivalence type etc. I know the answer, that's why I reemphasized the word "meaningful."

Hi all;

I´m Juan, I´ve readed you for a while, but I didn´t write here before. I´ve tried to read all Type 055 topic (not finished still) before asking, but some question arise when deeping in the knowledge of this class of ships.

I´ve a question, reading the excellent posts about Type 055 propulsion and taking into account the Type 055 only have TG for propulsion, and (IMHO) this scheme is not the most adequate for low speed transit; Is really the Type 055 a "fast escort carrier" ship?. If it is, can we speculate the number of CV for the PLAN following the total number of Type 055 in commission??.

Thanks in advance!.

Ban hammer for the bot.

Bots tend to be unable to ask specific, relevant or on-topic questions.

Now, with regards to the actual question.

1. We don't know the future order of battle for PLAN. We can - and do here - speculate on this, but at the end of the day, there is no outstanding information to make anything more than an educated guess.
2. We cannot directly correlate the current number of ordered 055 hulls with the number of possible/probable Carrier battle groups PLAN will field in the future.
