The production of the second batch of Type-055s is ongoing. Construction of at least 2-4 ships will begin this year. They may order a new batch when the 16-ship order is completed. Maybe they will increase the number to 20-30.

the implications of this new technology to Chinese shipbuilding industry. It said that the material cost would be 12% lower & production time would be 33% shorter. Assuming Type 055 cost USD 900 millions/24 months. Then it would be USD 792 millions/16 months.

Stop polluting the thread with none sense suggestion. That's overkill if we add in type 052 destroyers and type 054 frigates that are currently in service.
