Henri K comment on the 24th commission of Type 54. 24 ships commission in 9 years work out 2.6 per year. Not bad
Without fanfare, the Chinese navy has be commissioned its 24 th frigate Type 054A this Friday, June 23 at the naval base in Zhanjiang, the headquarters of the Southern fleet.
This warship of 4,053 tons is given the name of Xuchang , a city in central Henan Province, and the hull number 536.
The building joins the other four Type 054A of the 2 e destroyer flotilla, which passes from an old format of four destroyers and four frigates to a new configuration "six destroyers six frigates," .

Launched at the shipyard Huangpu June 4, 2016, the 536 Xuchang is the 12 th class frigate built in Guangzhou. Since January 2008, when 1st Type 054A was admitted to active service, the Chinese Navy has already acquired 24 vessels of this multi-role frigate program in the space of nine years with a more pronounced orientation towards Anti-submarine warfare.
To date, at least three other ships of this class are under construction, one of which will also join the Chinese Navy very soon. The new Type 054B frigate class , equipped with all-electric propulsion, will then succeed the Type 054 line.
Monitoring of buildings of Type 054A
Compared to his sisterships built at the beginning of this decade, the 536 Xuchang as well as several before him received the latest upgrades to his equipment.
Examples include the replacement of the old H / TJN-905 naval data link with a much more integrated one, and the JIDS trans-armed data link, the new tactical and satellite communication suite And an additional multi-spectral electronic warfare system.
Former armaments such as the CIWS H / PJ-12 also have their place in the new H / PJ-11, some sonars have also been renewed.
All these changes in less than 10 years illustrate the rapid progress made in many areas by Chinese manufacturers and manufacturers.
Finally, we can point out that this 24 th frigate Type 054A correspond to the 8 th new building be commissioned by the Chinese navy in 2017, which is half that of the previous year in the same period.
No fewer than 15 new buildings of all kinds joined the ranks of the Chinese navy during the first six months of 2016, including two Type 054A frigates.
Class N ° Hull Name Category Tonnage Date of admission
Type 815A 856 Kaiyangxing SIGINT 6,000 2017-01-11
Type 056A 513 Ezhou ASW Corvette 1,340 2017-01-18

Type 054A 536 Xuchang Frigate 4,053 2017-06-23
For the second half of 2017, up to nine new active duty admissions could be expected for Type 056 and Type 056A corvettes , and two for the Type 052D destroyer .
But attention should also be focused on the first tanker tanker for the carrier group, the Type 901 , which moves more than 50,000 tons full load.
To be continued.

The type 054A has gotten a lot deadlier with the Sino ASROC (Yu-8?).
