Alright, looks like the launch of this behemoth actually didn't happen yesterday, but only the launch ceremony... 28th of June then.
But we can already see how large this thing is.
12.800 tons to be exact.
>>34376722
And the second hull is directly in front of it. It's launch is scheduled in December this year.
>>34376728
People are busy making CGs of it since most good pics get purged by internet police.
Impressive.
I must say, we're one of the most blessed generation to have the honor to witness the impressive growth of our beloved motherland
A weapon to surpass the Burke 3 before it even comes out...
>>34376722
>12.8 tons
very lightweight ship
>>34376722
>China can't even put their ships in the water
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

How much do they pay you per post?
Can it take on a Zumwalt though? Thought so.
>>34376722
Call me then you built at least 50 of those things.
They will build 30 of them. 8 for the current batch.
>>34377041
Emphasis on A since we only built 2.
>>34377041
If the 055 remains outside the Zumwalt's AGS range and attacks it with its long range supersonics, then yes.
Of course the Zum's stealth is a problem, but in the end, both ships would rely on off board detection assets that can counter the stealth of surface combattants in one way or another.
>>34376722
this is all Drumpf's fault, now China shall reign supreme
>>34377026
>everything i don't like is a shill
>>34376947
Really tho.
It is an exciting time to be a chinafag. The great power dream of our ancestors and all the desperate revolutionaries and reformers of past century is becoming reality now.
If only my grandpa who fought the Japs and died fighting defending his hometown, could have known that one day we'd have the ability to obliterate them easily and make them pay, he could rest in peace.

What are these people afraid of?

How fucking new are you? You've never seen the viral chinese elevator of death? Fucking summerfag invasion.
>>34377419
all the people that get sucked into the pasta maker beneath that panel.
>>34377372
ist that from the time one of the escalators was fcked up and people fell tru the metal cover(the metal plate on the end and had no botom, so they fell realy high) in china and died?
>>34376722
This thing will get the 9 meter long HQ-26 super long range SAM.
>>34377424
I shall indulge your superiority complex, yes I am new to this video.

>>34377424
>chinese elevator.
video is of a escalator you twat
>First production run of unproven design
>4 ships
Has China gone too far?
>>34377400
To be fair, isn't China's current economic prosperity in spite of revolutionaries like Mao rather than because of them? Communism did China (or anyone else that officially espoused it, for that matter) any favors. And despite what official political terms are used to describe it, China is anything but communist
That design isn't unproven, as most of its subsystems are already tested on the 052D.
Hull design is a hybrid of 052D and their 12k ton coast guard cutter that has been in operation for several years.
>>34377602
Infact I do recall seeing this, though it appears didn't really make much of a lasting impression on me.
If China really embarks on building 30 of them, then we better make them sign a new Washington Naval Treaty or something.
>>34377656
Well do note that the lady in that vid was turned into hamburger after she fell into the gear mechanisms.
>>34377688
>Return of the 20k ton aircraft carrier
Yes, YES!
>>34377712
Would actually work with future drone carriers.
>>34377451
Is that China's SM-3 equivalent?
>>34377543
Not really it's just a souped up version of the 052d.
>>34377698

Well, at least the kid came out intact.

kek China definitely wants to overwhelm US counterpart and boast
it's like gigantic zumwlat or gigantic-stelath Arleigh burke class.
>>34376728
>>34376733
what about ship borne aviation and hangar?
how many helicopters the hangar can hold?
is there any unmanned stuff?
It will also have a 24-cell HHQ-10 RAM launcher.
Helicopter wise, it is the first chinese non carrier warship with large dual hangars for Z-18 sized helos. Those things are China's AW-101 equivalents...
>>34377308
>Emphasis on A since we only built 2.
You mean 3.
>>34377336
>If the 055 remains outside the Zumwalt's AGS range and attacks it with its long range supersonics, then yes.
The 155mm guns on a Zumwalt are not its only antiship weaponry.
>Of course the Zum's stealth is a problem, but in the end, both ships would rely on off board detection assets that can counter the stealth of surface combattants in one way or another.
You have to go out of your way to engineer a scenario where a Zumwalt would not have a large advantage in detection.
New photos are out.
No wonder they kept such a tight lid on this during construction. The amount of sensors on this thing is close to mind bogging.
Not only carrying 4 X S BAND Type 346 APAR as expected, the ship also carries 4 X X BAND APAR in the top of the intergrated mast, as well as the total surprise:
4-8 Panels of L band APAR on the superstructure, rear mast and hanger sides.
Basically carrying a full suit of AMDR and a small set of LRDR on one ship.
Quick and dirty job to show where they are located.

Is this thing really over 12, 000 tons?
>>34377602
omg. it's real life destiniy
>>34381742
Nope. If anything, they're sea king equivalent
It even have worse performance than Sea King, even with 3 engine, thus the reason why nobody else but China used them anymorep

Nice, conformal L and UHF band arrays confirmed. Same tech as on the Divine Eagle anti stealth UAV.
Also, the bars above the Type 346Bs are said to be OTH AESA.
Also, day enclosed deck...
>>34376722
Holy shit! The others shouldn't be far off then.
>>34386152
2ns hull by end of this year, and the two in Dalian Shipyard will be launched simultaneously this time next year.
And the 2nd batch of 4 will commence by the end of this year as well. First batch of 8.
China will make the 055 their premiere combat ship to be mass produced.
055A will appear by 2020, equipped with IEPS and lasers and railguns, as well as EM missile launchers.
>>34386177
More.

This huge sonar... Finally a PLAN ship that has one that is larger than the Russian derived MGK self defense sonars.
>>34386223
And a high res for good measure.
The lines are sexual.
Definitely the most sexual bote girl.
It's classified as a destroyer dumbass.
