Type 054 Ship Brief
🕑 Added 2023-02-03 08:05:01 +0000 UTCThe original Chinese La Fayette Frigate.
Note: This is not the Type 054A. I've already seen comments confusing these two ships with similar names and design. Type 054A is coming next month.

"They're protecting they're interests in the belt and road programe which includes of course not just roads but..." Laughed at this point because in my head you were going to say "belts":-)

These ships seem like an atempt to make up numbers in the chinese fleet (ironically!) they don't seem as capable as I'd thought they were.

Interesting that when this brief was written the triple torpedo launcher seemed more or less pointless, now we have the new Underwater drone threat it seems ideal for countering them.
TY-90 missiles are more similar to stingers but iirc they’re rail launched

Yes, they build their own. How original are the designs? It varies.

Has China stop getting any of their. ships from Russia and building all of their ships in house?
