Excerpt:
A Chinese simulation allegedly showed that a single Type 055 destroyer and escort could weather an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer missile bombardment. The war game was set in the western Pacific, just a few hundred kilometers east of Taiwan.
During the simulation, a single Type 055 was tested against no less than eight Arleigh Burke’s. The Chinese destroyer was not alone; it was accompanied by unmanned drone mothership vessels.
These motherships were equipped with 32 drones and 14 unmanned boats. During the simulation, the American ships launched 32 Tomahawk and LRASM stealth anti-ship missiles, all aimed at the Type 055.
