Not a whole lot of news here, just an interesting photo of the destroyer in three stages of development. They look pretty similar to US destroyers, using a single ship gun, powerful air-search radars (not as good as our AEGIS or SPY-1 radars, though), VLS tubes, and a CIWS setup. Still, good on China for taking it up to defend their borders.
