I got these e-mailed today from a friend.
The new Chinese Destroyer DDG-170, recently returned from it’s first sea trial, and some overhead shots were taken as she made her way back into port. Look at the colour of the water!



What is quite obvious, is that the cells have been installed at an angle to the deck. For a cold launch system, this makes sense. A total of 48 cells in all. 6 x 6 up front, and 2 x 6 to the rear.
