Recently, reservations for the Navy Day open house have begun, and it is a great opportunity to feel the actual feeling of boarding a domestic ship than just looking at the pictures. The Open Day held in the Northern Theater brought together a number of ships, including the 054A frigate, the 052D series destroyer and the 903 integrated supply ship, enough to satisfy the curiosity of military fans. In addition, the official tonnage and length data of the 052D destroyer was also exposed for the first time, giving a clearer picture of its size.
According to social media reports, the 2023 Navy Day opening event will be held in multiple regions, and the tonnage data of the 052DL improved version was released for the first time in the ship display of the Northern Theater, which is a very rare situation. After all, before that, most of the data about 052DL was speculated and passed on by military fans, and there was not much accurate information to refer to.
According to officially provided data, the 052B has a full load displacement of 5800 tons, the 052C 6150 tons, and the standard version of the 052D reaches 6900 tons. All three ships are roughly about 155 meters long and about 17 meters wide. The 052D standard version's full tonnage of nearly 7,000 tons is basically in line with the expectations of military fans, because they generally believe that the tonnage of the 052D is between 6,500 and 7,000 tons. This time the official tonnage data just makes up for this ambiguous area. But it is worth noting that the 052DL destroyer, there is no clear official model, and the description of this open day is an improved version of the 052D. According to official data, the 052DL has a full load displacement of 7500 tons, a length of 159 meters and a width of 18.4 meters.
The official tonnage figures for the 052DL are indeed impressive, because in general, military fans believe that even if the 052DL increases in length, its tonnage should not exceed 7,000 tons, but now it has reached 7,500 tons. Considering the multiple batch improvements and increased shipborne equipment of the 052DL, the tonnage of the 052DL ships built in Dalian may even be close to 8,000 tons, which is quite alarming.
Another issue to note is the dimensions of the 052DL, which has a length of 159 meters, which is 4 meters more than the 155 meters of the 052D, which matches previous pictures and speculations. However, the figure with a width of 18.4 meters is confusing because the width of the 052D in this event is about 17 meters, while the width of the 052DL and 052D is not different. In addition, the previously announced 052D Xining ship has a width of 18 meters, which is somewhat different from 18.4 meters, which is confusing. Of course, some military fans believe that 18.4 meters may be the latest batch of 052DL data, and the relevant information of 052DL has been removed, which adds some room for speculation.
In short, although the data has been taken down, the information that can release the 052DL indicates that the relevant design of the ship type is quite mature, and there is nothing too advanced to show. Dalian shipyard's new batch of 052Ds, that is, the batch built quickly, may be different from the previous 052DL, which may be one of the reasons for the discrepancy in the public data. In any case, the tonnage of the 052DL is impressive, with a displacement of 7500 tons at full load almost second only to the Arleigh Burke class.
As you can imagine, this batch of 052DL may be the last large-scale construction of the 052D series, and the new universal destroyer is preparing to emerge. Perhaps at the next public day, we will see a whole new surprise.
