Since September 30, 2006, the two Chinese shipyards CSSC Hudong-Zhonghua and CSSC Huangpu Wenchong have already launched thirty vessels of this class, a ship floated every four months and ten days on average. Hudong and Huangpu shared equally the thirty ships to be built, this Type 054A numbered 542 is the fifteenth of series built in Huangpu.

Suitably equipped for a medium-sized multi-mission frigate - with a penchant for anti-submarine warfare - the typical 3,600-ton Type 054A is perhaps not at the forefront of technology comparing to its European and Japanese counterparts, built to smaller series, but it was primarily designed to find the best compromise between cost, capacity and maintainability to meet the growing offshore needs of the Chinese Navy.

Well, now everybody is not interested in the 054A frigate. Most people are all concerned about the 054B. It is said that this type of ship will adopt the IEPS .

If the 30th Type 054A is the bow on the left, then what's coming out on the right? From Pakdef by LJK86. The picture also comes with a date stamp. Red arrows are my own.
