Which also makes an comparision with 052D possible.

Comparing the 2 ships, beyond the size, i noticed 2 things: the 055 bow is more inclined than 052D´s bow. What are the advantages in having a more inclined bow? Also type 055 seems that is still have a lot of electronics to install.

I have never found any of the PLAN ships aggressive or intimidating... but when I really, genuinely look at the Type 055... I really think... I'm intimidated lol

On another note... I really wish they had a secondary CIWS...

april pic interpretation was incorrect:
- one (more) 055 and
- (only) one 052D
in the early stage of construction in Shanghai

To me, an inclined bow is just a style, it doesn't make the ship more stealthy by having a more inclined bow. Furthermore, it may suggest the ship has larger beam.
