China Launches Next-Gen Destroyers

Issue: 03-2018

Two of China’s newest-generation guided missile destroyers - Type 055 - have been launched marking China’s fourth such launch of Type 055 destroyers. Experts say the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) needs to commission at least 10. Type 055 is China’s first home-grown 10,000-ton class missile destroyer. Type 055 has multiple roles to play in the future of the PLA Navy, including aircraft carrier escort, theater missile defense and sea-to-ground attack. They are also likely be armed with an electromagnetic railgun.
