Improved Chinese naval warships in the emerging future of China that we can find a large class guided missile destroyer DDG-X will be a possibility with the United States and Japan Navy Arleigh - Burke class, similar large-scale diamond-class guided missile destroyers.

China will be based on existing manufacturing "052" on the valuable experience gained to date. 052 various types of improved version of existing destroyers, from the basic type "Luhu class" began to "052B class" exist, such as: Air defense systems are imperfect. Do not have the ability to fight against saturation, saturation-type attacks for the relatively poor ability to respond. Tonnage loaded with water level in Shanghai too small, it is difficult to placement of large LSV, rectangular vertical launch system. Although the 052B-class manufacturing according to the modern level model, but the SA-N-7 arm single mode of the current "saturation attack against the saturation attack" has become obsolete.

The main air defense destroyers, China's future: a displacement of 11,000 tons of long-range air defense missile fired 80-96; by the four gas turbine-driven.

The main multi-purpose destroyers future: a displacement of about 9,000 tons, 72 medium-range air defense missiles, 16 anti-submarine missiles, two medium-sized anti-submarine helicopters; by the two gas turbines and two diesel engine driven. Multi-purpose anti-aircraft destroyers and destroyer of combination is an ideal preparation of the special task forces, as the then Soviet Union Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Spruance-class anti-aircraft anti-submarine destroyer, modern air defense anti-ship class destroyers and fearless as anti-submarine destroyer.

6000-ton frigate China's future large-scale

New 052C class guided missile destroyer built by the maximum displacement of the constraints make it difficult to increase the number of deployment of carrier-based air defense missiles. And "HQ-9A" minimum height compared intercepting Navy United States and Japan also has a big gap. Although only 115,116 new 051C class vertical launch system, but the payload is still low, this medium-sized aircraft carrier fleet for the maintenance of a 2-3 air defense clearly not enough.

Another new 2010 China destroyer DDG-X program will enter the PLA. This is a newly designed large-scale multi-purpose ships, the Navy is currently the world's developed countries trends. This destroyer is expected after 2020 will be fully put into use, when a number of countries that China would adopt a similar "drive / Escort Vessel" integrated construction mode, scaled-down version for the construction of frigates, while the standard version is for the construction of destroyers, so for the future fleet service and maintenance in the theater / supply a city very convenient.

Focus on long-range air defense frigate, in the medium-range air defense and anti-submarine, too, need a new frigate to accomplish this task, corresponding with. Medium anti-aircraft frigate of the existing modifications to the hull. Should be equipped with a number of medium-range air defense missiles, antisubmarine missiles, and two medium-sized anti-submarine helicopters.

New Frigate FFG-X will completely replace the old "Wild Level I, II" class frigates. Meanwhile, after 2020 the Navy will continue to eliminate the "Luda-class 051," the old destroyer, in 2008, after the termination of improving the old "051" series.

Some experts suggest that China's 10-year construction program in the next begins, based on the 051C in the original construction of a 8,000-ton guided missile destroyer displacement, so that you can install the deployment of additional S-300F missile VLS vertical launch system. Dalian Shipbuilding very enthusiastic about this. Some experts, including the U.S. Navy overseas military assessment of the "Chinese naval development and strategic assessment" centers that China could or should have enhanced the development of 10,000-ton destroyers. New ships can be equipped with a set of "052C" Aegis radar systems used on the same time can be equipped with a large number of vertical launch cells S300F number of the fleet to improve the overall level of the theater air defense.

It is reported that currently the plan is designed to promote the Chinese navy from the original "offshore passive defense" to a comprehensive "ocean waters of active defense." This change will need China more and more large-scale main force replace the existing surface warfare ships, but also require the Navy to update the new submarine equipment, and ultimately the Chinese naval fleet into the South China Sea region.

If these developments can be achieved in the future, then the Chinese Navy will have a better defense and combat strategy. At the same time as the Chinese Defense Ministry to provide a more diverse senior operational decision-making to combat and defense. China Department of the Navy has made several theoretical studies, while in some ways China can get more from overseas than before the relevant technical support and cooperation.

The program will greatly enhance China's response to the coast and airspace defense, intercepting ballistic missiles, fighter, reconnaissance aircraft, cruise missiles, precision guided bomb threat capabilities, while the Chinese navy will be implemented in the near future may be "far away from land-based air defense bases cover the implementation of "ocean-going action, which needs China more than the Navy aircraft carrier in the future or the attachment of a medium-sized overseas bases, which the Chinese may be more sensitive to it. Therefore, China will choose to build 4-6 million tons of medium-sized aircraft carrier.

Aircraft carrier battle ships for the implementation of security, China is also planning the construction of reinforced destroyers advance work to be done. PLA currently has a diverse means of air defense missile destroyers are not many effective "surface intercepting" ability is very limited. The original old-fashioned ship "decentralized" type of self-defense capability for the systematic joint air defense (AAW) is almost 0.

Stronger performance of the new frigates, destroyers should be used as a miniature multi-purpose,

The number of additional carrier battle group ships, act as "fatigues."

Radar system will install a modified "can be fused S300" integrated large phased array radar. The radar should be based on the continuous improvement of existing KVANT developed, detection range may exceed 400 km limit. Meanwhile, Block 2, an improved version of attachment, "Gaia" EMC remote electronic detection systems, improved electronic warfare EW, Block 2 system, Block 2 new high-power multi-band "dome" satellite communications radar.

Some reports have speculated, the display will be China's nuclear power of the program. According to the current development of China has a nuclear capability, China manufacturers are placed in the main nuclear-powered submarines. Therefore, manufacturers will cause China to introduce nuclear power construction costs rising dramatically while technical difficulty is relatively large, while China plans to delay the execution time will, along with China has not started the "progressive" large-scale manufacture of nuclear-powered surface ships of the sample. Therefore, China may still be using conventional combined power, while the number of class destroyers manufacturing may be more than the existing 052 series several times now.
