Hanzhong was commissioned with pictures of the ceremony to prove it. DDG 154 was only rumoured to be commissioned, without pictorial evidence. Someone actually sent a message to the municipality government of Xiamen and asked if their namesake was commissioned, and they replied in the negative.

That's strange as i only checked this Chinese wiki page recently, and "Yiwu" hadn't been listed as commissioned then??????????

4 shipyards are cranking them out simultaneously. Latest info shows 33rd Yiwu was commissioned in April, so total number is 34

China has commissioned the 33rd Type 056 corvette while 9 more vessels have been launched! 33 vessels in 4 year-period = +8 ships/year!

Regarding the ghost ship "518" "Yiwu" 
.............here is an extract from Henri.K's site
It should be noted that no official confirmation is yet available concerning the two Chinese warships - Corvette 518 Yiwu of Type 056A and destroyer 154 Xiamen of Type 052D - who have already been admitted to active duty "in secret". An item published this week seems to confirm that the corvette 518 Yiwu, at least, entered service in April.

ok thanks
Interesting no more basic type is being built From now on all of them anti Sub variant
At the time the US Navy admitted its 65th Alerigh Burke destroyer into service, a new Chinese anti-submarine corvette Type 056A was also launched this week in Shanghai.
The float took place on Wednesday, July 26 in the afternoon, as provided for .
This is the 14th building of the Type 056 family built by the Hudong shipyard since 2012, and also the 9th variant ASW assembled locally.

This new example of Type 056A, like its 21 sisterships, measures 88.9 meters long, 11.14 meters wide at the beam, and moves 1,340 tons full load. Its CODAD propulsion system allows the ship to sail beyond 25 knots, with an economic autonomy of 2,000 nautical miles.
It should be noted that since December 2015, no basic version Type 056 has been released from the four shipyards involved in the construction of the program. Now all the new hulls launched are anti-submarine version, equipped with dedicated combat suite and towed sonar.

Shipyard Huangpu
(Guangzhou) 5 7
Shipyard Wuchang
(Wuhan) 5 4 2
Shipyard Liaonan
(Dalian) 6 1 1
It is still uncertain today if this new building launched Wednesday is the 42nd or 43rd of the class. Indeed, the 37th specimen, built at the Liaonan shipyard in northern China, would have been launched twice, and would therefore have distorted the account.
However, our follow-up shows that in the space of five years, the Chinese navy has already produced about forty Corvette Type 056 and Type 056A, which released a number of first-line frigates , Sometimes assigned to "low-cost" missions such as the protection of the EEZ of the country, for other missions on the high seas.

Finally, it is also the 12th new warships launched in 2017 for the Chinese Navy, which continues to renew its fleets and expand its capabilities in an omni-directional manner with a firm and controlled rhythm.
