Comparing the U.S. Ticonderoga and China's Type 055 Destroyers

Credited from: BUSINESSINSIDER

  • China's navy has introduced the Type 055 class guided missile destroyer, a highly advanced surface combatant designed for versatile missions.
  • The Type 055, classified as a cruiser by the U.S. Defense Department, boasts an impressive arsenal of up to 112 vertical launch system (VLS) cells for various missile types.
  • In contrast, the Ticonderoga-class cruisers of the U.S. Navy, despite being older, maintain a larger missile arsenal and advanced AEGIS Combat System.
  • As the U.S. Navy seeks to retire aged cruisers due to high upkeep costs, China is ramping up production of the Type 055, aiming to build up to 16 units.
  • Recent activities involving both classes, such as high-profile deployments in strategic regions, underscore the competition between the two naval powers.
