looks like the 5th Type 081 is launched as 841. So far, we've seen 805, 810, 839 and 840. If you look at the hull, it's not longer straight like before and has straight cut on the top. The is similar to what they did from the first batch to second batch of 054A (except of course, that hull cut less).

More up close pictures of 841. It shows that the new 30 mm main gun (that we saw on 885) is installed on 841.

The second mine hunter now has its number painted. As a trivia, the last number of ps'd out I think so that people can guess what number it is. Most people think it's 815. We will see.

It is quite surprising that tphuang or others have not already posted the intereting new series of pictures from HSH, but anyway:

The second WOZANG Type 082 II mnehunter, 818 KUNSHAN, was photographed at Shanghai-Wusong 18 December in company with its trio of Type 529 minesweeping drones, 8181, 8182, and 8183.

This development was not unexpected, cf. posts # 58-63. Remains to see where the group is headed, but no doubt South Sea Fleet.

I normally would, but I just got engaged recently and have been traveling around a lot, so PLAN is not exactly on top of my mind. But that's definitely an interesting development. Looks like those remote drones are going to be with every Type 82II.

本报2月24日讯 (记者 王晋磊 通讯员 李发维)今天,首个以我省县市命名的先进舰艇——“孝义舰”入列南海舰队某部。

刚刚被命名的“孝义舰”,舷号841,是我国最新研制的、具有现代作战能力的扫雷舰,是适应高技术海上战争需要的重要作战力量。此次以孝义城市名命名海军舰艇,是人民海军与孝义市双拥共建活动的成功实践。孝义市有着传承千年的“行孝仗义包容大气”的优良传统,也有着深厚的红色文化,曾被誉为“抗日模范县”,毛泽东、邓小平、杨尚昆等老一辈革命家曾在此留下战斗的足迹。新时期又有献身国防事业的“军中楷模”苏宁引以为傲,孝义市连续5年被评为“双拥模范市”。
nothing important here, just a report on 841 which joined SSF. It's named after the city XiaoYi, which is located in Shanxi province.
