Chinese NAVY DDG Type 055

  Guided missile destroyer Type 055-class

The Type 055 refers to a class of modern Chinese missile destroyers, sometimes classified as cruisers. Probably the first unit of this type was launched in 2014 or 2015, but it entered service probably at the beginning of 2020. Class 055 ships are 180 meters long and 20 meters wide. The destroyer is armed with: a single 130mm H / PJ-38 cannon, a 24-guide VLS launcher for the HHQ-10 missiles, as well as a 112-guide VLS launcher for the HHQ-9, YJ-18 or CJ-10 missiles . The ship can operate with 2 Changhe Z-18F helicopters.

The ships of class 055 are currently the most modern destroyers in the Chinese fleet, the size of which corresponds to the size of the American cruisers of the Ticonderoga class.
It can be assumed that these ships are comparable to the American destroyers Arleigh Burke Flight II and Flight IIA or the Japanese Atago class.
