is my country's first destroyer that reached the world's leading level once it came out. The 0.55 million tons of large drive is of great significance to our navy, even as much as the first domestically-made aircraft carrier. With good things, Chinese people like to compare. How powerful is 055? 055 is more powerful than other advanced destroyers in the world? It can be said to be a common topic, let's discuss it again today!

In fact, Bu Wu can be very responsible to say that the Type 055 destroyer is indeed very strong, no matter its comprehensive combat effectiveness or performance indicators, it is no less than any destroyer in the world. The 055 Great Drive is not only stronger than many of the US Navy’s current main Aegis warships, even the latest “Arleigh Burke III” destroyers that are being built by the United States and possess “backward advantage” are not as good as ours in terms of overall performance. A large drive of 0.55 million tons.

First of all the overall firepower, the 055 large drive has a full displacement of 13,000 tons, this tonnage ranks second among the world’s active destroyers, second only to the U.S. Navy’s "Zumwalt class" Destroyer; and a larger tonnage can carry more weapons and ammunition. The 055 large drive has 112 missile vertical launch units, which surpasses the "Arleigh Burke III" 96 vertical launch, and it is expected to have "one pit and four bombs" in the future. The medium-range air defense missiles are loaded in the same way; in addition, the 055 large drive also has a double hangar, 1130 close defense system, etc., which makes the 055 large drive more firepower than the "Arleigh Burke III" destroyer!

followed by the ship’s electrical system. The 055 large drive is equipped with X+S band active phased array radar, which is currently the world’s only dual-band radar (the other is the Ford aircraft carrier). The "Arleigh Burke III" destroyer under construction in the United States also planned to be equipped with dual-band radars, but later due to technical reasons, the X-band AMDR-X would not appear on the first nine "Arleigh Burke III" destroyers. It is only equipped with S-band AMDR-S phased array radar, so this makes the performance of the "Arleigh Burke III" destroyer in terms of ship electrical systems not as good as 055!

and then the stealth capability. From the appearance point of view, the various components of the "Arleigh Burke III" destroyer are intricate, and it is obvious that the ship did not adopt a stealth design; on the other hand, our 055 large drive, all The design of the ship is very smooth, the hull is clean and tidy, there is no messy antenna suspension and protrusion. Various electronic systems are integrated into the integrated integrated mast, which greatly reduces the radar reflection area of ​​the ship. In addition, the main gun and chimney are also used. Stealth processing. Therefore, the stealth ability of 055 Drive is far better than "Arleigh Burke III"!

The first batch of the "Arleigh Burke III" destroyer

Of course, the 055 Great Drive is not an all-round crush on the "Arleigh Burke III" destroyer. For example, the "Burke III" destroyer is equipped with the "Standard-3 Block IIA" anti-missile interceptor, which can intercept ballistic missiles with a range of less than 5,000 kilometers. This is currently not available in the 055 large drive; in addition, in the power system, the 055 large drive Although the total power of the four GT-25000 gas turbines in China is higher than the two LM2500+G4 gas turbines of the "Burke III", the 055 large-wheel drive in terms of thermal efficiency, volume and economy of the gas turbine is inferior to the latter!

In summary, although the 055 Daquan cannot fully crush the "Arleigh Burke III" destroyer in terms of various performance indicators, it is still in the firepower configuration, ship electrical system, and stealth. In main aspects such as capabilities, the 055 large drive is obviously better than the "Burke III" destroyer, so the 055 large drive must be better than the 055 large drive in terms of overall performance. Moreover, the 055 large drive has a larger tonnage and power redundancy, so it also has a greater upgrade potential!
