Chinese Type 052D Destroyer: Ship with the Dragon Eye

[@benganchan1420]

Shanghai’s Jiangnan Shipyard, the world’s largest commercial shipyard considers naval vessels under 110,000 ton deadweight as small boats . It has built container ships, cruise ships of 240,000 ton, 220,000 ton deadweight respectively.

[@TheOtakuPrince]

Are you talking about fully laden displacement or light weight displacement. Because as far as I know, ships in drydocks are often at light weight displacement, meaning no ballasts and no cargoes. And also no compliments. If the ship's lightweight displacement is at 200,000 tons, then that's one very large ship, larger than the largest ships. For example, the largest tanker vessel in history has a loaded displacement of 600,000 tons but only has 80,000 tons lightweight.

The 052D or 055 destroyer has very powerful phase array radar that can be used as an "Early warning and control" system to command the friendly fighting aircrafts in air to air combat! Like a ground control system at sea.

the last point stated in the video is the exact reason why it's gonna be hard to match with china, for the cost of 1 of your ship, they build 4. And this is probably the same regarding maintenance cost and salary...

[@Voodoo3397]

I wish we can have a deep dive on the matter. Is it due to cheaper part and labor or the sheer economy of scale and industrial efficiency of China's industrial complex

Is there any part of this ship not directly ripped off from the arlighburk?

[@robertmthompson8162]

Usage nitpick: At 15:16, "Cheaper by an entire order of magnitude" would mean that 52D was 1/10 the cost of the lowest competing class. Whereas $500 million is only a little less than half of $1.2 billion, and is only one quarter of $2 billion. Excellent analysis.

[@OhFookinELL]

Very good video. Detailed and informative. 👍🏻

[@tonysu8860]

Nice video, good luck. That's an interesting take on why it's not deployed in the SCS. It can also be said that China is doing everything it can to avoid exposing these ships to closer study and verifying limitations and capabilities.

[@EurasiaNaval]

Yeah there's many plausible explanations. This video is a bit more focused on the ships. Pls do give your take too

[@saintjames6531]

Agreed. I don’t think it can be said that their not deploying type 52 D’s because of the risk of causing too much tension. Instead, to your point. The US and coalition partners have deployed entire battle groups into the South China Sea.

[@mikecimerian6913]

A quick tip to see if a ship has low observability or not is the absence of portholes.

The scariest thing about China is that they can make high quality warships at a low cost. On top of that China has the most active shipyards in the world. I'm glad to see that the US is upgrading their destroyer fleet but I think the ridiculous price of 2 billion per ship will end up hurting the US more than aiding it in the next few decades

[@树心旁-p4b]

price of 2 billion per ship is cheap enough. given that GDP per capita of china is less than 1/5 of us

[@koaylt]

Need to understand the Chinese wages is much lower. About 1/4 of the US, British or Japanese wages. The Indian wage is about that of China but since they have to pay heavily for Western tech content , their cost will be much higher than the Chinese ship. No country can compete with China on the economics of scale. So it is not surprising that for one A. Burke, China can built four type 52D.

[@kwamepalavin8405]

Good to know that more missiles fired to kill a single target is a plus. One shot one kill is a way better ground to stand on!

[@felixsu375]

Hey bro, where are you getting stock footage of Chinese military? Doing a video on Chinese military parity with the US. Need stock footage. Thanks!

[@EurasiaNaval]

Hey Felix, if you are looking for images, the best place is the Sinodefenceforum - just google it. Certain users post very good images you can use for your videos (e.g. by78, ACuriousPLAFan), which you can search for on the threads that match your topic. Do search by user. If you are talking about video footages, I generally do searches on youtube to find Chinese language broadcasts. Most authorities' footages are safe to use, such as CGTN, PLA Navy, CCTV, CCTV+, etc. However, there is this one time I used CCTV footages that are direct broadcast (直播), and CCTV elected to issue a copyright claim on it - meaning there is no copyright infringement but I need to give up the ad revenue to CCTV as the legal owner of the footage. I got around the problem by editing out the part of the video showing the footage, which was fortunately not essential to the video. Anyway, to avoid this problem, I suggest you don't use CCTV footages that are direct broadcast (直播). If you use footages from regular channels, I highly suggest you apply mask to their watermarks if there are any, and use their footages sparingly and in piecemeal. This is to save you the trouble of either having your videos copyright claimed (i.e. no revenue) or copyright striked (even worse). This is unlikely in my experience, but better be safe than sorry.

The price tag on that ship is interesting. If correct then they HAD to cut corner, possibly corners they didn't even know were there. Most of the other navies have experience in blue water operations and know how to build them to withstand a fight, China lacks that experience. I suspect they have the survivability of the Titanic in pack ice.

It’s just another warship. The type matters very little. Tactics, training and the number you can put to see is more relevant. If China can manufacture and equip these ship in numbers it can be a power shift in the region. China needs to avoid a conflict with the US until there is more than 50 of these at sea.😊

[@saintjames6531]

Quality over quantity. Likely US solution to this is using long range stand of missiles launched from stealth aircraft as part of a focused saturation attack on one ship. Chinese ships will be seen in real-time from space through the heat signatures they emit. Paired with western submarine hunter killer pack formations to spread out Chinese ships and therefore mitigate missile defence. Highly unlikely we’ll see destroy versus destroyer scenario.
