The Type 052D destroyer is a class of destroyer being built by the People's Republic of China.
After the Type 052C destroyer (NATO code name Luyang II class, or Lanzhou class after the lead ship), two new hulls were spotted under construction at Jiangnan Shipyard in Aug 2012. According to the picture, they were armed with a new 130mm main gun and new Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar system. The hull also seems to be a bit wider than previous classes.
