In the past, America established a series of naval battle standards around aircraft carriers. Once those standards began to shake, it would take a great deal of effort and a massive amount of funds to come up with countermeasures.
However, at present, mankind's technology is still unable to intercept hypersonic missiles. Therefore, America started developing its own new class of destroyers to prepare for possible impacts.
The aging Arleigh Burke-class can no longer handle new modifications, and the ceaseless problems with the Zumwalt-class have been a continuous irritation to the Navy. Now they need a mature new ship...
Who would have thought that America would actually set its sights on the Type 055?
Their latest model is tentatively called the DDG(X), and from the leaked images, it looks like a knockoff of the Type 055.
China has caught many spies selling the secrets of the Type 055, and after learning of America's intentions, they were not angry, but rather a little happy.
