China Coast Guard and Patrol vessels

The stern door of the new Coast Guard vessels based on 054A's hull. I'm pretty sure there is launching ramp behind that door.

I know this isn't a Coast Guard vessel, but here will have to do. A new fishery enforcement vessel has entered service.

new weapons installed?

Strange, why is the CCG color strip of 2201 all in blue? Also have they change the pennant number again? The 3 type 053H2G transferred to CCG were numbered 31239, 31240 and 31241. The 4th ship was sold to Sri Lanka navy.

I think it is just because of the lighting in that picture, the wide strip has another shade of blue compared to the small stripes. In general waveslength for red gets attenuated faster than shorter wave light

It looks red to me from where I sit. I agree with the view that its just the lighting in that picture.

but my inquiry was which model of gun was installed to replace the 4 x Type 76A dual-37 mm AA guns, which were left on board when they were transferred to the Chinese Coast Guard

These are apparently Type 87 25 mm twin mounts, as are often used on Army ships.
That's why the fire control radar is now missing, as this weapon is probably only aimed optical/electronically.
By the way, new RHIBs have also come on board.

Here we have our first true contender of showing the middle finger to the MSS' new warning:





Three 054A-mods for the CCG are seen fitting out alongside one 054B FFG, with two more 054A-mods under construction. Posted by @效忠Belka的az04 on Weibo.
