Another month, and another 056 Corvette is commissioned into the Chinese Navy.

This time its boat no. 507 'Tongren', the 8th built at Hudong, which is an 056A variant which was commissioned today.

That's now 25 in total 056's, which are now active in the fleet. Amazing to think the 1st of class was only commissioned, just under 3 years ago, and that there are more to come, with at least 6 other vessels in various states of build at the present time.

Its great to see new commissionings. But does anyone have any information about decommissionings ? I haven't heard anything about decommissionings of Type 051's Type 053's and Type 037's for a long time.
