Note that the 513 Ezhou is an anti-submarine warfare variant, it is therefore a corvette Type 056A precisely. Compared to the basic version, this variant is equipped in addition to a towed sonar, which can be put into the sea through a large opening located at the stern.

It also receives an additional acoustic combat system, and could develop a new anti-submarine missile ASROC, with a range of over 50 km (see our article "

").

Of the 31 buildings of Type 056 that have already joined the ranks of the Chinese navy, 9 specialize in anti-submarine warfare near the Chinese coast, the 513 Ezhou .

Given the geographical location of Shacheng Naval Base, which borders the East China Sea where the continental shelf is ideal for the maneuvers and activities of attack diesel submarines, one can understand the choice of its deployment to this location .

According to the official description, Type 056 and Type 056A are used within the Chinese Navy for maritime patrol, coastal defense and protection of Chinese naval routes and ports.

The location of the Shacheng Naval Base

To date, at least 12 Type 056 and Type 056A corvettes are still under construction or armament. One of them, the 514 Liupanshui , could be called to active duty by the end of March.

In total, the Chinese navy could admit to active service up to 12 new Type 056 corvettes in 2017 according to our estimate. And of the 70 buildings ordered, 42 are already in the water.

Is there a complete list of 056s that have been commissioned anywhere? English Wikipedia seems to be about ten ships behind.

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't delved into the Chinese Wikipedia before. I would try to bring the English Wikipedia entry up to date, but the full list on the Chinese page isn't sourced so I dunno .... I'm not familiar with the ways of Wiki, haven't bothered to learn since my only edit attempt about five years back was reverted an hour later.

Here is the link to the Chinese Wiki on the 056 Corvette.

from this page you can then search for the 056A and other Chinese warship classes.

Good luck to trying to update the English wiki page on the 056 Corvette, as some idiot seems to think its their own private page and every time other people try to correct and update the page, this idiot then goes and removes the information.
