Our country has already equipped 10 ships! The Type 055 missile destroyer is still too comprehensive.
As the first type of destroyer designed and built by our country with a displacement of over 10,000 tons, the Type 055 missile destroyer has broken through a series of key technologies in the overall design of large vessels, information integration, and assembly construction. It possesses strong capabilities in information perception, air defense and anti-missile operations, and maritime strike capabilities, representing a comprehensive reflection of the current technological level of our navy's equipment.
The Type 055 destroyer
is the
“king of firepower”
in the family of the People's Navy destroyers.
Its main firepower source
is the missile system.
Onboard, there are hundreds of
vertical launch units
that can be mixed-loaded with
air defense missiles, anti-ship missiles
anti-submarine missiles, land attack missiles, and other
types of missiles.
This makes it the type of destroyer in our fleet
that can carry the most missiles.
The air defense missiles have
dual capabilities of long-range air defense and anti-missile
and can accurately intercept
incoming aerial targets.
Whether it is fighter jets, cruise missiles,
or even ballistic missiles,
it is difficult for them to escape its strike range.
Anti-ship missiles
have long ranges and great power
and can deliver devastating strikes
against enemy surface vessels.
The vertical launch design of the Type 055 missile destroyer
enables it to carry more types of missiles.
Military expert Cao Weidong: As a Type 055 missile destroyer, its vertical launch design is universal.
The missiles can ignite and launch directly from the launch unit.
Missiles can also be pushed out of the launch tube by high-pressure gas and then ignited in the air for launch.
This allows it to carry more types of missiles. It can carry air defense missiles, anti-ship missiles, and land attack cruise missiles, and with a higher degree of informationization, its destructive power is even stronger.
Recently, the Type 055 missile destroyers Dongguan and Anqing were simultaneously commissioned into the Eastern Theater Navy and conducted their first real combat training at sea. With this, the number of Type 055 missile destroyers in our country has reached 10.
