Wave-piercing design for future PLAN vessels?

I was wondering if anybody has heard anything about future PLAN projects after the 051/052. Specifically, is there any discussion about a wave-piercing design similar to the DD(X)? Appearantly, this is going to be a very stealthy platform.

I found a CG of a Chinese wave-piercing vessel. Obviously this not official in any way, shape or form.

PiSigma: i merged your posts, so it's not a double post anymore

The DDX has a wave piercing design? I thought that was only the LCS.

No news about China getting a destroyer of such, but China has a FAC of such and there have been CG of PLA crusiers being like it.

Here is another pic I found. Apparently it was done by a graduate engineering student in a research institute. It is a conceptual design for a "main combat vessel" for the PLAN within 30 years into the future.

Wow. Those two designs look EXTREMELY stealthy. Now if only China would start building them, the PLAN will be a super-stealthy force by 2015.

Even though these designs maybe the imagination of some young military enthusiasts, it's nice to see it happening because that's where it starts. Some great CGI work coming out of China these days. Next thing is to see China's film industry get out of making period movies. In the US, many scientists and engineers are inspired by what they've seen in the entertainment media.

Next, China should make those two CGI ship designs into reality.:china:

that second pic posted by Roger seems to have been partly inspired by the sea shadow design:





cool looking ships.

these arent anything near real. i dont see ships liek these rolling out until at least 2020.theres no article to accompany the pictures, so they could be just some china fans cgi drawings.
