ZUMWALT are failed destroyers. Type 055 are more advanced and powerful than Arleigh Burke. Missing Chinese large numbers of Type 052D destroyers are more powerful and advanced than such as British Type 045 and French Horizon.

Keep repeating some unsubstantiated reporting from SCMP as usual. There are reports saying that the US carrier groups have lost a few time in electronic war games against Chinese navy including type 055 in SCS recently. Lol, such powerful advanced US military can't even defeat a poor middle power Iran in the ME war.Chinese and the US forces were locked in a reconnaissance and electronic warfare tussle in the lead-up to and after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan, according to military sources and defense analysts.
But not all of it was successful, according to sources close to the Chinese military.
State broadcaster CCTV reported the Chinese military used naval and air forces in multiple locations to conduct "full tracking and surveillance" against the US Air Force transport aircraft flying Pelosi and her delegation from Kuala Lumpur to Taipei on August 2.
The tracking was aimed at "deterrence", the report quoted PLA Major General Meng Xiangqing, from the PLA National Defence University, as saying.
However a source said the People's Liberation Army's tracking efforts - which involved jets and Type 055 destroyers - failed.
"The PLA deployed some electronic warfare aircraft such as the J-16D and warships to try to locate Pelosi's aircraft, but were not successful," the source said.
"Almost all the PLA electronic warfare equipment couldn't work properly because they were all jammed by electronic interference by the American aircraft strike group sent by the Pentagon to escort her."
On the flight, Pelosi's aircraft took an unusually circuitous route by heading southeast towards the Indonesian part of Borneo, then turning north to fly along the eastern part of the Philippines.
He Yuan Ming, an independent airpower analyst, said it was not surprising that the Chinese vessels did not detect the flight.
"Even if the Type 055 (destroyer's) radar is said to be 500km (310 miles), its effective range in the real world would be much less," He said.
"Couple this with the vast operating area as well as the Type 055's relative newness both in terms of its hardware (capabilities) and software (crew), there should be little surprise that the PLA (naval) cruiser could not locate (Pelosi's plane)."
Pelosi's trip was followed by a series of unprecedented PLA war games encircling Taiwan.
On the second day of the exercises, the US sent at least seven reconnaissance and early warning aircraft to waters near Taiwan, according to the Beijing-based South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative.
The deployment included a RC-135V and RC-135S for missile surveillance, three P-8A maritime anti-submarine planes, three E-3G spy jets and one U-2S high-altitude monitor plane, supported by six KC-135 refueling aircraft.
How Pelosi’s Taiwan trip set off a new wave of US-China electronic warfare
PLA eyes in the sky and at sea sought to track the aircraft carrying the US House speaker.
More powerful and advanced than Burkes Yu say?
My friend, here's a more convincing piece of evidence.
The HTMS Chakri Naruebet (CVH-911) is the Royal Thai Navy's flagship. Built in Spain and commissioned in 1997, it serves as the world's smallest functioning aircraft carrier, primarily operating as an offshore patrol helicopter carrier. [1, 2, 3] 
we were comparing the Naval power comparison between Australia and Thailand, reffering the Influence of West in ASEAN by using Australia. for example, the Leadership of Australia Captain of Australian Navy to make the East Timor free as land as a Christian Country, to put this Christian Politics/an opposition in ASEAN region
I certainly Don't think that either Indonesian Navy/Airforce or Australian Navy/Airforce can even mathc the Thailand in this region .....
the Thai Airforce even do operate the Gruppen Combat Aircraft, which was introced to Indian MRCA deal for Rafale, in comparision

Australia led the 1999 international military intervention to secure East Timor's (now Timor-Leste) independence. Commanded by Australian Major General Peter Cosgrove, the Australian Defence Force spearheaded INTERFET (International Force East Timor), a 22-nation coalition. The Royal Australian Navy provided crucial sealift, escort, and logistical support throughout the operation.

Thailand possesses the only aircraft carrier in the ASEAN region.

The carrier has mostly been used for HADR missions, and debates about its utility have raged since it entered into service in 1997.thediplomat.com

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) currently operates a squadron of Gripen C/D fighters. In August 2025, Thailand signed a roughly US $556 million contract with Sweden's Saab for four advanced Gripen E/F jets (three single-seat E and one tandem-seat F). Deliveries of these new aircraft are scheduled to occur through 2030. [1, 2]
Type 055 are much stealthier than Burke. The Type 055 is outfitted with a highly capable and powerful dual-band active phased array radar (Type 346B), which provides it with the situational awareness and tracking capabilities necessary to eventually support dedicated exo-atmospheric interceptors.
I know. But, stealthiness is useful for other purposes such as hiding from enemy detection early and confusing enemy targeting systems .
ZUMWALT is a failed project, many of its designed capabilities are not realized.
