After the first batch of eight Type055 DDG were all commissioned by 2022, the PLAN won funds for a second batch of another eight.
The photo below was taken in Dalian yesterday on haul number 10. Haul number 9 of the second batch is under construction in Shanghai. With China's two main shipyards building the second batch concurrently, the PLAN expects to have a fleet of 16 Type055 DDGs by the end of 2030 based on the first batch's production rate.
