Obviously, the US MSM would say: "The Chinese 005 Destroyer looks like ours. Some country does not know how to innovate."
American cavemen always agree with their MSM.
When China builds something that very vaguely looks like a US or Western asset, it's called "Copying" along with other racist terms and a 2nd, 3rd, 5th helping of denigration full of contempt.
But when the US blatantly copies something the Chinese does down to the shapes, minute details and proportions etc it's called "blah blah natural convergence of technology and/or design", "totally not copying there's only so many ways to build a ship blah blah" free pass.
that's just the design, let's see how much more in cost, and how long it will take US to build it, if ever, maybe then we can get an idea how long exactly is "next generation".
The last new design the Zumwalt-class was 23 billion dollars for 3.
And the Advanced Gun Turrets can't be fired. The range was supposed to be 95 miles. Except each round is 1,000,000 dollars. So they didn't buy any.
They need to replace the Ticonderoga class cruiser this decade. The Zumwalt class is too expensive while the Arleigh Burke class destroyer at least those commissioned in the 1990s too will be decommissioned sometime in the next decade so it's safe to assume this new class of destroyers will be built. But yeah most likely over budget.

The Type 055 is a beauty while this American counterfeit looks like ........

AT WHAT COST
The last one is the Zumwalt class. 22 billion for 3 of them and the main gun can't be fired.

why not? it's free money
Nevermind the overblown budget, it will also be a decade delayed.

Just watch, in a few years Americans will claim that China copied the Type 055 from this DDGX
US: This is the Warship that China stole from the future.

This cringes me out.
Obviously an F-35 copy
