Sep 10, 2022 · The SPY-6 that is actually being fitted to Burke III is only "marginally adequate" at "SPY+15". Type 055's radar may well be larger and more powerful than SPY-6, but it is unlikely to match the notional requirement identified by USN some fifteen years ago.

Nov 10, 2020 · A Burke IIA destroyer displaces virtually the same as a Ticonderoga "cruiser," and capability and size and role aren't even inherently linked anymore for modern surface combatants as far as differentiation of a "destroyer" and "cruiser" goes.

Jul 8, 2013 · If you believe in opinion 1) then you probably believe the PLA-navy should build a total of 16 Type-055 cruisers and "call it a day". If you believe in opinion 2) then building maybe even 40 Type-055 cruisers is an idea that should be given serious consideration. BTW I …
