China has Launched two new Type 055 Destroyers Simultaneously


Two 10,000-tonne Type 055 destroyers were launched simultaneously by the Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company (DSIC) on 3 July in a move that reflects the rapid pace at which China is building this new class of warship. The latest ships are the third and fourth to be launched, with all four entering the water in a little over a year.


These are far closer in role and capability to our Ticonderoga class cruisers rather than the Burke class destroyers.
