BEIJING (PTI): The Chinese Navy is developing a brand new class of guided-missile destroyer, a "new type" of naval warship with upgraded air-defence missiles, anti-ship and anti-submarine missiles, official media here reported.
The new destroyers are equipped with two 32-unit vertical launch systems capable of launching HQ-9B air-defence missiles, anti-ship and anti-submarine missiles, official media quoted China Military News as saying.
The new destroyer is comparable to the "Aegis" equipped destroyers of the US Navy which use powerful computers and radars to track and guide weapons to destroy enemy targets, it said.
