China Shows Off Its New Generation Of Type 055 Destroyers



Business Insider: China shows off its new destroyer during massive display of naval power

* China celebrated the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army Navy in Qingdao on Tuesday, showing off some new weapons systems.
* During the parade, which was shrouded in fog, mist, and rain, the Chinese navy showed off the Nanchang, the first of the new generation of Type 055 destroyers.
* The new destroyers are the most heavily armed of China's surface combatants, with 112 universal vertical-launch-system cells capable of firing anti-air, anti-ship, anti-submarine, and land-attack missiles.

China showed off a new naval weapon, the first of a new generation of hard-hitting destroyers, at a celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army Navy on Tuesday.

During the celebratory maritime parade, the Nanchang (101), a 10,000-ton Type 055 stealth destroyer, sailed onto the scene, Reuters reported.

The ship is armed with 112 vertical-launch cells with the ability to fire HHQ-9 surface-to-air missiles, YJ-18 anti-ship cruise missiles, and CJ-10 land-attack cruise missiles. The main gun is a H/PJ-38 130-mm gun, but there are reports that this vessel could eventually be equipped with a railgun. The vessel uses X- and S-band radars, allowing it to track stealthy objects of various sizes.

Warren wants to cancel student loan debt.. that's an average of USD 50,000 and 40 million people. OK, I'm not a math genius - but that's a shit load of money. More than we can afford even over 50 years time frame. OK just for fun, it's: TWO TRILLION USD! (that's without factoring in the interest) No way this is morally OK - -this would bankrupt the US. No one asked you to get an English degree (like Fred) and then end up without a job, running a porn website and ruining our democracy/spewing nonsense and hatred all day. It's your responsibility.

Having said that - I do agree that some of the student loan should be restructured so they can get out easier.. or at least should be treated like any debt - did you know student loan debt is the only debt you cannot default on? It's very smart of Warren to do this (and she has been consistent on it). But please, SHE is the one who used her gender and FAKED race (less than 1% Indian) to get into Harvard to become the first "woman of colour" in their admin. Please. The guilt this lady has is unbelievable. She of course cannot ever become president (she polls at like 5%), BUT she will use the donations she gets from all the dumb voters (Fred) who will give her their money. Did you know that while she runs for president she can pay herself pretty much any salary? She will need it too, because no one would hire such a liar. But she will probably sell another book (and Fred will buy it again and tell himself what a good boy he is, then he will go virtue signal about some BS and tell us all how bad and filthy Trump is - all while jerking off to his own smut website).. he is her core target voter, I'm sure of it :)

Funny, it looks just like a USA destroyer that's been around for 20 years. China is going to have to do better than that. Come on guys, invent something yourselves already.😂😂😂😂
