The Type 052D chinese warships eries of destroyers resembles the U.S. Arleigh Burke-class both externally and in mission. Like the Burkes, the 052Ds have distinctive large, flat-faced radars just under the bridge—and are designed to provide air defense to naval battle groups, particularly carrier battle groups. Beijing has built four Type chinese warships 52Ds, so far.

The Type 052Ds chinese warships re equipped two banks of 32 missile silos each, located for and aft. These primarily carry HQ-9 Red Banner air-defense missiles but some analysts, including author Eric Wertheim of chinese warshipsof the World, speculate the silos could also pack land-attack cruise missiles similar to the American Tomahawk.
