New US destroyer design looks a lot like China’s Type 055

US’ New Generation Destroyer DDG-X concept appears to have taken a few design cues from China’s Type 055 cruiser
By GABRIEL HONRADA
JANUARY 19, 2022

In a revealing possible reversal of practice, the United States may be looking to China’s Type 055 cruiser for design inspiration for its upcoming New Generation Destroyer (DDG-X).

This month, the US unveiled its New Generation Destroyer (DDG-X) design, which aims to replace its 22 Ticonderoga class cruisers and older versions of its Arleigh Burke destroyers. The stealthy design will employ integrated electric propulsion (IEP), previously used on the Zumwalt class.

The technology reduces detectable noise and vibration, increases time on station and provides more power for weapons systems. It will be equipped with enlarged variants of the AN/SPY-6 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar mounted on the latest Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, with the hull designed for future sensor upgrades.

The DDG-X will be initially armed with a 32-cell block of the Mk 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS), or a 12-cell block of larger launchers for hypersonic missiles. The class is also envisioned to be equipped with laser weapons.

In comparison, China’s Type 055 cruiser is the largest surface combatant currently built and is 25% larger than the US Ticonderoga class cruiser. It has a stealth profile like the US’ proposed DDG-X and is powered by a gas turbine and gas-powered (COGAG) propulsion system.

The Type 055 is equipped with the Type-346B AESA radar, which is analogous to the AN/SPY-6 on Flight III Arleigh Burke destroyers. It features an integrated mast and sleek superstructure for reduced radar and infrared signatures.

The class is heavily armed, with up to 128 VLS cells arranged in two silos of 64 each, a H/PJ-38 130 mm main gun, H/PJ-11 30 mm close-in weapons system (CIWS), Yu-8 anti-submarine rockets and Yu-7 lightweight torpedoes launched from two triple torpedo tubes.

The striking physical similarity between the US DDG-X concept and China’s Type 055 cruiser has led some analysts to remark that the US is actually copying China’s warship. The US Navy has yet to comment on the speculation.

If so, it would mark a significant reversal of China’s long-standing practice of copying US and other foreign weapon designs and potentially put the US on the back foot in weapons innovation. China’s cribbing from foreign designs has been driven by several factors.

First, China’s authoritarian and centralized political system means that research must be conducted under the watchful eye of the state, a practice that could potentially stifle innovation. China’s communist system also dictates that there may be little incentive for independent, private research.

Second, poor protection of intellectual property rights in China means that foreign firms wishing to do business in the country must often share trade secrets and critical technologies with the Chinese government, which critics claim has often led to intellectual property rights and patent violations.

Third, it may be far more economical and practical for China to surreptitiously acquire foreign designs of the latest weaponry and improve upon them, rather than spend massive amounts for research and development to reinvent the wheel.

China is known to have sought to acquire sensitive military technology through espionage and legal investments in companies working in sectors it deems as strategic.

As a result, several of China’s high-tech weapons have striking similarities to their US and foreign counterparts, such as the J-20 and F-22, FC-31 and F-35 stealth fighters, CH-4/CH-5 and MQ-9 Reaper drones, Y-20 and C-17 Globemaster III transports and Su-27 and J-11 fighter jets.

Despite this extensive reverse engineering, China’s cloned weapons are often deemed to be poor man copies of the original foreign versions. For instance, Chinese fighter jet engines are deemed to be inferior to their Russian originals, which makes China dependent on Russia for jet engines to power its most potent fighters. Jordan has sold off its China-made CH-4 drones, indicating dissatisfaction with the type’s performance.

However, the similarity between China’s Type 055 cruiser and the US’ planned DDG-X may have been borne out of similar capability requirements, which in turn brings about similar designs.

China and the US’ capability requirements for fleet air defense, surface warfare, and command and control at sea may have been the basis of their respective design requirements for a heavily armed, large surface combatant capable of functioning in a flagship role.

But in certain cases, the US may not be above China in surreptitiously co-opting foreign technology and design into its own weapons. For instance, the F-35B vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) jet incorporates technology from the Soviet-era Yak-38 and Yak-141 carrier-launched fighters, which have the same capability.

In Soviet service, the Yak-38 and Yak-141 had too many technical issues, as their VTOL technology was not yet mature. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 effectively deprived Russia of funds to further develop these then-experimental jets, driving their manufacturer Yakovlev into bankruptcy.

However, Yakovlev and Lockheed Martin signed a deal in 1991 to continue funding for the Yak-141 prototype in exchange for limited design data and flight testing. The deal was not revealed until 1995.

While Lockheed Martin had no interest in further developing the Yak-141, the aircraft’s swiveling nozzle engine design and flight-testing data were instrumental in developing the F-35B fighter jet. That said, the success of the F-35B in US service may have prompted Russia to consider resurrecting and modernizing the Yak-141 design for its contemporary carrier operations.

Strikingly Similar! US Navy’s Next-Gen Warship A ‘Blatant Copy’ Of China’s Type-005 Destroyer

– Netizens
By Sakshi Tiwari- January 17, 2022

The US has often accused China of stealing designs and technology of its military hardware. Now, a similar charge has been leveled against America not by Beijing but by many social media users.

Speculation is rife about whether the US Navy’s recently unveiled concept of a next-generation destroyer — DDG(X)— is based on China’s Type 055 guided-missile destroyer.

H.I Sutton, a prominent submarines and sub-surface systems analyst, also wondered: “Is USN taking design leads from Chinese Type-055 cruiser?”

This observation came after the US Navy on January 12 revealed a concept for its futuristic warship, DDG(X), which would be capable of deploying hypersonic missiles and laser weapons.

The EurAsian Times has previously reported that China is working on two more Type-055 warships while the country’s largest and most modern destroyer, the Lhasa, conducted a series of drills in the Yellow Sea to assess its operational capabilities. Lhasa, the second Type 055 battleship, is said to be combat-ready.

Social media users, most of whom appear to be Chinese handles, have gone berserk about the American DDG(X). One Twitter handle, Dai Weiwei, posted, “America’s next-generation destroyer DDG(X) directly copies China’s current Type-055 destroyer.

Another netizen alleged, “USNavy reveals early thinking for future destroyer DDG(X). Do you think it looks like a Chinese Type 055 destroyer? This time it is US’s turn to copy Chinese designs.”

Next-Gen American Destroyer
The DDG(X) design was unveiled at the Surface Navy Association’s National Seminar in Arlington, Virginia, and was soon after, likened to the Chinese vessel. The US Navy, on the other hand, is yet to make a statement on these allegations.

The new futuristic warship is a concept that has been in the pipeline for quite some time now and couldn’t come to fruition due to a cash crunch.

According to the US Naval Institute (USNI), this is the Navy’s largest and most ambitious design for a surface warship in more than two decades.

The new ship will be outfitted with combat systems adapted from the existing Flight III Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers, which are equipped with the SPY-6 air search radar and the Baseline 10 Aegis weapons system, according to USNI report, as previously reported by the EurAsian Times.

The program office is now working with the military sector to refine the fundamental design after completing a draft Capability Development Document. This task will be aided by the shipbuilding industry.

The new ship could be used as the primary escort for carrier and amphibious groups, with the Constellation-class — which is still under development — guided-missile frigates, and littoral warfare ships serving as backup.

According to Defense News, the proposed destroyer will be distinguished by “a new hull design, an efficient Integrated Power System, and better endurance.” The power supply will be crucial in integrating the laser armament that will almost certainly be mounted aboard the DDG (X).

China’s Type 055 Destroyer
The Type 055 Guided Missile Destroyer has been dubbed the world’s most lethal warship by Chinese state media. It is 180 meters long and 20 meters wide.

The warship’s full load displacement is around 13,000 tons while the US Navy’s Ticonderoga-class cruiser and Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, which are similar to this frigate, have a displacement of roughly 9,800 tons.

Amid China’s ‘Reunification’ Threats, US Could Deploy ‘Cutting Edge’ Missiles Near Taiwan Strait
Nanchang (101), the first Type-055 ship, was launched in June 2017 and entered service in January 2020. Since then, seven more have been built in Dalian and Shanghai.

In August of 2020, the seventh ship was launched. Lhasa is the second stealth guided-missile destroyer of the Type-055 class which is now combat-ready and undergoing drills in the Yellow Sea.

Because of their capability and size, parallels are drawn between the Chinese Type 055 and the American Ticonderoga-class warships.

Upgraded radar systems work in tandem with universal vertical launch systems (VLS), which can carry a wide range of warheads, including missiles for air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-surface warfare.

The Type-055’s VLS has lesser cells than the Ticonderoga Class’s. As compared to Ticonderoga’s 122 VLS, the Type-055 possesses roughly 112 VLS. The weapon load-out, on the other hand, is very different because it must be customized to the user’s specifications.

US Navy Says Hypersonic Missiles, Lasers Weapons Key Highlights Of Its Next-Generation DDG(X) Warship
The HQ-9 long-range surface-to-air missile, as well as the HQ-16 medium-range SAM and potentially a quad-packed DK-10As, are all aboard the Chinese ship.

The DK-10A is based on the PL-12 and would be deployed as an intermediate-range air defense missile similar to the US Navy’s RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile. Similarly, the Chinese Yu-8 anti-submarine missile is comparable to the US Navy’s VL-ASROC.

Chinese ships prioritize anti-surface warfare, and they use the YJ-18 supersonic anti-ship missile. The Harpoons of the Ticonderoga Class are dwarfed by these enormous, powerful missiles. The American Harpoons can only be transported in groups of eight, but the Chinese ships are said to be capable of transporting a huge number of YJ-18s.

There is an even wider difference in weapons in the anti-ballistic missile (ABM) arena. The US AEGIS ships can carry the RIM-161 SM-3 missile, which can intercept medium-range ballistic missiles. China does not have such weapon systems. Nevertheless, both the ships have distinct features to serve their respective requirements.

Whether the US actually copied the Chinese Type 055 design or the similarities are overhyped could only be clarified by the American Navy. Until that happens, the Chinese propaganda machinery will make the most of this controversy, given the tense relations between Beijing and Washington.

i am really conlanfious.. who is copying who now.....
maybe US really have the time machine who when back in time and copy the design and built it in future in 2022or the other way around...

Singapore recognise Sinovac, Sinopharm

People who get Sinovac, Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccines to be considered fully vaccinated in Singapore

fun fact starts at min 8.30

[@DJJD] how??? 2nd dose for your daily goalpost shifting addictions

A very simple logic

The Sinovac is like giving your body a full textbook of COVID-19 to study. While mRNA like giving u a recommended list of questions.
However, the prof /teacher changes the questions. The mRNA will be screwed while Sinovac will still pass. Thou Sinovac won't score as high as mRNA(due to cheating) but it is safer overall compared to mRNA in long term.
many sane people will take Sinovac because the sanes prefer the textbook approach.
