“Chinese Navy ‘s second Type 055 large destroyer enters naval service” via navyrecognition.com.
The last line of the article (taken from Chinese media) is interesting. “The Type 055 destroyer can also counter stealth aircraft and low-Earth orbit satellites, thanks to a dual-band radar system” (my emphasis). Does this mean the ship has an Anti-Satellite (ASAT) mission?

HQ series SAM, apparently has an ASAT round.
Big VLS boxes on the type 55 – looks advanced.
