Here are the PIX of the 892.

yeah, I got a bunch of photos too, never bothered to actually post them, but here they are from the commissioning.

What exactly is is for? A specific program or is it a NOAA sort of general oceanic research vessel? The fact that it is named for a mathmetician makes me think that it is designed to test higher technology. If so, we here at SDF should keep an eye on this fine ship.

892 is like 891, it is used to test out the latest sensors and weapons. So, we can expect new naval radars and SAMs to be put on this ship eventually.

so what is the 892 being used to test

That's the big question and that's the fun of it. What you see on top of it may portend to future warships of the PLAN.

That's what I like to hear! :china: But knowing the PLAN as we do, everyone here knows that they're very secretive, so we probably won't see a whole lot of this ship in public.
