The number of China's Type 055 destroyers in service reaches 10.
Recently, the Type 055 missile destroyers Dongguan and Anqing were simultaneously commissioned into the Navy of the Eastern Theater Command and conducted their first live-fire training at sea. With this, the number of Type 055 missile destroyers in our country has reached 10.
In a certain sea area of the East China Sea, after completing training on single-ship tasks such as navigating narrow waterways and damage control, the Dongguan destroyer formed a formation with other vessels to conduct joint operations including maritime assault, at-sea replenishment, and multi-domain coordinated strikes.
In another sea area of the East China Sea, the Anqing destroyer, serving as the command ship of the formation, organized multiple types of destroyers to establish a network within the same information command system, conducting training tasks such as joint maritime search and rescue and anti-submarine operations, achieving the expected results.
The Type 055 destroyer is the largest, most advanced, and most capable comprehensive combat destroyer independently developed and built by our country, integrating advanced radar, universal vertical launch systems, and comprehensive radio frequency capabilities. Since the commissioning of the first ship, Nanchang, in January 2020, the number of Type 055 missile destroyers in the Navy has reached 10. (CCTV News)
