No, this is the 76mm on the 054A Frigate.

Yes, the gun on the Haikou is the 100mm gun.
But the picture I posted (and which you showed) is not that gun. That gun is the PJ26 76mm giun on the Type 054A Frigate.
The Type 201 (on the Type 052C DDG) is a Chinese license built version of the French modèle 100 TR 100mm naval gun (which is the same weapon used on the La Fayette frigates).
The PLAN modified it to make it compatible with Chinese electronic systems, and to enable it to fire Chinese laser and infrared guided munitons.
Here's a good pic of it on the Type 052C DDG:

Actually I think that's the 76 mm on the 054 not the 100 mm on the 052.
You are exactly right.
I thought he was talking about the gun on the Haikou, which is the Type 201 100-mm...but he showed the pic from the Frigate and that is the PJ26 76mm. I'll revise my comments accordingly because I am definitely talking about the gun on the Type 052C...which is the picture I showed.
Jeff is correct.. I'll answer your query by PM..
BTW, fellows, that's U.S. Vice Adm. Kenneth Floyd, commander of the U.S. Third Fleet, who is also the commander of RIMPAC-2014, getting the tour of the PLAN Type 054A Frigate, in those pictures I posted today.
Jeff what is the difference between the brown and white uniforms and what decides which one is worn on occasions?

@ No Name, I am not Jeff but I have the answer.
Now both uniform sets are actually appropriate. Summer whites and Khaki are both in issue and seasonally the preferred uniform by mandate of command.
According to the USN's Own uniform guidance page
Summer Whites is for:
Service Khaki is for:
This is the memo form the CNC on the matter.
There are three men in the USN's Service Khaki uniform. The (3 star) Vice Adm. Kenneth Floyd in the center there is a Two star Adm. ( Rear Adm.) behind the Chinese officer in the (your) right of the photo and the Lt. on the far left of the photo in the back of the photo there is a USN officer in his Whites Aka "the Good humor man" visible behind Adm. Floyd over his right Shoulder ( I cant see the whole Rank My guess it a Commander.BTW, fellows, that's U.S. Vice Adm.

Summer Whites is for:
Service Khaki is entering service as a attempt to issue a more cost effective uniform. Khaki does not spot or stain as easily.
Service Khaki is for:
In essence the Khaki tan uniform is meant to be the Navy's Jack of all trades uniform. A uniform for just about every occasion that is not black or White Tie. the USN's business suit.
This is the memo form the CNC on the matter.
Oh and the Man of the Left shoulder of the 3 star admiral is a Australian.

No scrambled eggs on his visor, so he must be Lt. Commander or Lieutenant.

thanks to all who answered my FAQ
now, can you give me some link(s) describing current Chinese Naval Artillery (possibly including CIWS), could even be in Chinese if there were picture around the text -- maybe I could match them; or is everything on this (I mean max. range, rate of fire etc.) classified??
