China's powerful Type 055 destroyer joined its aircraft carrier group for first time

Chinese stealth guided-missile destroyer Nanchang joined the Liaoning carrier group in a sea trial this month.
The addition of the powerful Type 055 destroyer could boost the carrier group's combat capabilities, analysts say.

Bigger Than A U.S. Navy AEGIS Cruiser: China Is Building More Type-055s


Chinese Navy Type 055 Renhai Class Cruiser
The Chinese Navy (PLAN) Type-055 Renhai Class Cruiser has two large vertical launch systems (VLS). These are larger and deeper than the U.S. Navy's Mk.41 VLS.
Bigger Than A U.S. Navy AEGIS Cruiser: China Is Building More Type-055s
The Type-055 Renhai Class is in many ways the Chinese Navy's (PLAN) answer to the U.S. Navy's AEGIS cruisers. Large and heavily armed, they play a leading role escorting China's aircraft carriers. New intelligence suggests that another batch of these impressive warships is being built.

With 8 ships already in the water, the Chinese Navy’s Type-055 Renhai Class cruiser is making waves. It is undoubtedly the most impressive surface combatant in the PLAN (Chinese Navy) line-up, making it a natural focus of observers. New intelligence suggests that at least two more are under construction in Dalian, China.

The first Type-055, Nanchang (101), was launched in June 2017. Since then 7 more have been built at Dalian and Shanghai. At 13,000t they are the largest surface combatants currently under construction in the world. This makes then about a quarter bigger again than the U.S. Navy’s AEGIS cruisers.
