While the U.S. Navy launches a handful of destroyers each year, this single image of a Shanghai shipyard, shows nine newly constructed Chinese warships.
China’s Navy is modernizing at an impressive rate. And on a vast scale. A key ingredient is the construction of a fleet of large destroyers, amphibious warships and aircraft carriers.
Two are Type-052D air-defense destroyers, generally equivalent to the U.S. Navy’s Arleigh Burke Class destroyers. The other two are larger Type-055 Class ships.
Together with another Type-055 under construction, this brings the total number of large destroyers visible to 9. To put that into context, the Royal Navy’s entire destroyer fleet is just 6 ships. And this yard is just part of a much bigger construction program.
