Chinese new destroyer

The new destroyer in pics showed has 6*8units SA-N-6 Rif guided missile wells but no hangar

wow thats neat looking but wow does it have a lot of "stuff" on the boat from the looks of the pictures the Nato name should be "christmas tree". Stuff kills when it comes to hiding from radar and that boat has tons of stuff!

Already been done, search next time.

The last photos showed that there are 6 wells will be made, two will being in front of bridge,four will being at the place where originally is helicopter hangar

here is what it could look like

Reminds me of an early Burke without the hangar. Bad design. Indication of how desperate the PLAN is to get a SAM umbrella over its fleets.

Can't wait to see the unclassified history of this design. The DDG167 is something of an anomally.

Boy the Chinese are busy building a lot of weapons...Destroyer, Aircraft Carrier, and fighter planes. Mmmmmm.

Those pics are merely talking about the difference between #115 (type 051C) and #167 (type 051B)
Nothing new really...

I don't get it, why isn't this thread being closed?

Now who would tell me what's the nickname of 525 115 and 168/170 would be given by NATO?

I dont know....is a bit....intreiging why it isnt...

I'm just curious, but what other navies use a light gray for their ships?

Off the top of my head - Italy & the UK both use bluish light greys similar to China's. IIRC most of the EU countries use a ligter grey than the US. Canadian and Australian ships use light greenish greys.
