China’s first homegrown carrier and new destroyer set sail

The first of China’s advanced Type 055-class guided-missile destroyers — apparently the Nanchang — set sail Friday from the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, according to the China Daily.

The Type 001 aircraft carrier, China’s first indigenously produced carrier and the country’s second after the Liaoning, followed suit Monday.
