The Type 052D destroyer (NATO/OSD Luyang III-class destroyer)[16] is a class of guided-missile destroyers in the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. The Type 052D is a larger variant of the Type 052C; the Type 052D uses a canister-type, instead of revolver-type, vertical launching system (VLS)[14] and has flat-paneled active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar.[13] The new VLS is not limited to surface-to-air missiles, making the Type 052D China's first dedicated multi-role destroyer.[14]
