Speaking of domestic 0.55 million tons, we are not unfamiliar, if the domestic ships from the modern class to the Russian Chinese Aegis, Jiangnan four ships, etc. are references to Western ships, then starting from 0.55 million tons, it is a real display of the domestic blue water ship style, and its significance is equivalent to opening up a new Chinese style of global ships. For the 0.55 million tons of large drives, due to too successful, in the future, any similar guided missile destroyer may not be able to bypass the impact of the 055 large drives. And recently the appearance of a new generation of US guided missile destroyers, its Cambridge and phased array and many other details have the style of 055 big drive, is this just a coincidence?
According to social media reports, we saw that the U.S. Navy unveiled the shape of a new generation of guided-missile destroyers, and its appearance has many similarities with the details of the shape of the domestically produced 0.55 million tons large-scale drive, which makes people feel very surprised. Bucket to star shift, want to be sealed everywhere as the classic American equipment, in the end to learn from the design style of the 055 drive, it seems that now a lot of time has been reversed, which is also from the side to illustrate the excellence of the 055 million tons drive.
Judging from the current model released by the United States, the bridge part and main mast of this next-generation destroyer of the US military are similar to the 055 large drive style, which changes the tradition of the "branches hanging randomly" of the American Arleigh Burke class destroyers, and it is speculated that it may use the same comprehensive radio frequency integration method as the 055 large drive. The layout of the bridge and phased array radar of the Us destroyer is also very similar to the 055 large drive, and if the tonnage is not taken into account, it may feel more like an improved version of the 055 large drive.
Of course, some military fans said that in fact, the 052D and 055 large drives are the continuation of the overall style of the American Ali Burke class, and they are not similar to the American destroyer and the 055 large drive style. In fact, this statement is still inaccurate, on the contrary, the Ali Burke class, whether it is an upgraded version or an early model, has a clear Cold War style in the mast design and bridge phased array design. The 055 large drive uses an integrated RF system, an integrated style mast, which was rarely used in the United States before, but the European frigate style is more similar.
In fact, for ship design, once there is an excellent style, it is bound to affect the design ideas of other designers, after all, good things are willing to refer to. And excellent design is often the result of the latest scientific and technological theories, and it is possible to end up in the same place, but it is not necessary to grease the US destroyer, even if its style is similar to the 055 large drive, it is not a big deal. If the technical level of the US destroyer exceeds ours, the next generation of domestic destroyers will learn from them, but this does not prevent the current 055 large drive, it has indeed become a reference object for the United States, what is the strength? This is the embodiment of the entity.
Of course, at present, the US destroyer is only a published appearance model, and the appearance may change when it is built. But as far as the current manufacturing and research and development speed of the United States is concerned, this next-generation destroyer may not be launched in the Year of the Monkey, after all, even the Constellation-class frigate has not yet been completed, and the American Ali Burke class probably plans to continue to insist on it for 10 years. I have to say that the new weapons of the United States in recent years, the sense of existence is getting lower and lower, it is difficult to have the same B-2, M1A1 tanks and other weapons of the year, the feeling of coming out of the sky, the feeling of being bright, what is the situation I believe everyone should be very situational, so the lack of inspiration for the new US destroyer is also inevitable.
While waiting for this next-generation destroyer of the United States, the domestic ship is estimated to have developed to 055B, and even 052DL may have to be iterated. In fact, it is not difficult to see that the next generation of FRIGATEs and destroyers in the United States recently is becoming slower and slower, not only a problem of funding, but also caused by the delay in design and development capabilities, and it can be said that this gap will become larger and larger in the future. And the 055 big drive is only the beginning of this gap, I believe that in the future, there may be only a lot more US ships with domestic ship style, after all, who will not want to emulate good things? The United States will not be an exception.
