Type 055 Nanchang lead destroyer

The destroyer launched in Shanghai became the fifth ship of this type, built for the PLA Navy. The construction of ships is carried out at two shipyards - in Shanghai and Dalian. The lead ship of the Nanchang series was built at Shanghai shipyards and was launched on the 28 of June 2017 of the year, the second ship in the series was also laid down in Shanghai and launched at the end of April of the 2018 of the year. In early July last year, simultaneously, two destroyers of the Type 055 project were launched in Dalian. Now the fifth one has been launched in Shanghai, another is being completed at the Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company (Group) (DSIC), and the date of its launching is still unknown.

Built for the interests of the Chinese Navy fleetThe Type 055 destroyers are quite large ships for their class. The displacement of ships is over 10 tons (full - over 000 tons), length exceeds 12 meters, width - 000 meters. The destroyers were built using stealth technologies and equipped with a gas turbine electric generator with a capacity of about 180 MW, which allows the use of even laser weapons. In addition, the ships are equipped with a Chinese combat system similar to the American Aegis.

The destroyers plan to launch launchers with a total capacity of 128 missiles of various types, one 130-mm artillery piece, several small-caliber rapid-fire gun mounts. The ship also has a hangar for two helicopters and a helipad.

The Chinese can only be envied. Our defense industry does not compete yet .....

Well, so they create an industrial superpower, not an energy one. And it is they who create, not tricky plans that they compose.

[Rurikovich]

Hmmm .... As in that joke: "The French love elegantly, the Italians emotionally, the Germans harshly ... And only the Chinese silently do their job"

[novel66]

somewhere enviously .. maybe something is wrong with them (destroyers) ??

[Alex777]

Not without it. The main "wrong" in these destroyers is that they are in fact cruisers, not destroyers.

[novel66]

it's worse

[Vladimir Vladimir_2]

Worthy of respect Whoever said anything but the Chinese Well done

[Lexus]

"Hot cakes" in Chinese.

[Sen-mird]

Well, take away their printer)))

[rocket757]

Worthy of respect and ... fear. However, it’s not right now, or tomorrow, but in the future. In short, go to the futurists grandmother fortuneteller at the reception.

[lucul]

Hmm ....
Well, we can only increase the profitability of our economy, as Shoigu says, in order to keep up with the Chinese ...

[donavi49]

There in the Far 2 still bake 055 and 2 052D long.

Well, and for the day after tomorrow (September 26 announced the launching) you can reserve the news "China has lowered the first UDC by 30 tons." By the way, next to them, they are already gathering at an accelerated pace.

[kventinasd]

Such a normal destroyer, not like the Amer Burki with barrels for drying diapers.
Such rates. the Chinese, in about 5-10 years, they will already show the mattresses where the crayfish at the resorts are fooling around.

[Shuttle]

The Chinese were able to build huge fleets even when the most notable European sailors, the Vikings, had just mastered the construction of dragrakars.
There have already been precedents - Zhen Hae fleet.

To each his own. Someone showing the highest productivity is stamping destroyers and aircraft carriers with high-speed methods, while someone has been building small boats for several years.

[Artemiy_2]

Maybe you need to tell the whole truth? Boats are built at those shipyards that were built in the USSR by small ships. No boats are being built at the North Shipyard or at the Baltic Shipyard

[NordOst16]

That's right, there frigates for 10 years cannot be put into operation.

[Artemiy_2]

Is it the shipyard’s fault that the air defense system didn’t work for the frigate?

[NordOst16]

This is an industry problem. Although, I think you will agree that whoever was to blame, but the result is the same - a ship of modest displacement could not be put into operation for many years.

[Artemiy_2]

I agree. You just have to write more correctly. And it sounds as if only SV is to blame

[Catfish]

Novel , and what could be wrong with them? Even "consumer goods" products from China are far from what they were in the nineties. They always knew how to work, and now they have learned to do at the level. And then in shipbuilding (as in all weapons) they have our school, read at one time how they "seven bis" right up to the screw disassembled and recreated the technology. It was the same with the submarines. This is what kind of work, the mind is incomprehensible. And it was the same with the aircraft carrier, they had it like a hotel, and while they stood with it and sorted it out. We learned them ourselves and armed them ourselves, but what it will result in in the future, God only knows.
"Remember Damansky!"

[Alexey Petrovichev]

Well done Chinese. Build with such speed!

[Alexey from Perm]

these are serious ships

[NordOst16]

Well, someone else wants to call the Russian Federation a superpower. In addition to the States, only the PRC claims this. Oh, yet without a normal economy, Russia would not be a sea power

[Adimius38]

And when there will be a headline, the sixth destroyer Leader was lowered in Russia))

[Adimius38]

The Chinese are busy with us in all respects on the fleet and the number of missile weapons, while we are driving three barges, one tugboat and an old BOD, and proudly call it a group of warships that went on a campaign, the Chinese launched the fifth full-fledged destroyer in 12000 tons
