The People's Liberation Army's 055 large destroyer can carry up to 50 YJ (Yingji) missiles!
According to military observer Wei Dongxu, the 055-class large destroyer, with a displacement of over 10,000 tons, could potentially carry around 30 to 40 or even about 50 YJ-series hypersonic missiles.
One single ship can launch long-range saturation attacks against an enemy formation or aircraft carrier strike group, making it impossible for existing air defense and anti-missile systems to intercept.
See that? One ship challenging an entire aircraft carrier strike group—what matters is sheer volume and overwhelming firepower. This is the confidence of the world's second-largest navy in terms of tonnage.
