A little poll for a bit of fun.

Personally I can't wait to see Type 09V SSN, if it is competitive with USN SSN's it will be produced en masse in the new halls at Huludao and this will be a real game changer in the balance of power in a way none of the other systems I list will be.

I think I'm at the same point as several folks here, I think the H-20, and the new subs are most interesting because they'll be the biggest impact on release.

I am sure these will all be revealed in due time. But a J-20 with a new engine will still look like a J-20, with people making close up shots of the engine nozzles once again. A stealth bomber will always look like another stealth bomber. A submarine will still look like a submarine.

The 054B has the chance to finally look something different. Or it will end up looking like any other stealth frigate with a pointy top.

Whatever 054B ends up being, I just hope it doesn't look like that Japanese thing with a Fleet enema on the mast.

I am thinking 054B might end up looking like that, but with an important twist, the mast having a rotating dual sided radar at the top instead.

What I meant is that the mast on the 054B might also be integrated, and that it would form into a pyramid.

The difference however, is that the top would be cropped, and the top is capped with a rotating S-band dual sided AESA radar we have seen before on the test ship. Then I would expect an X-band radar to be embedded on all four sides of the pyramid, like you see with the Mogami.
