Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

That's Type 093T，which does not exist as far as I know。

But the picture sub hump do look like what Sino soldier descibe rather than VLS. Without the VLS, it still can launch LACM but lesser amount carry. But with the new hatch , it can be a true multi-task sub. Task with inflitration with commandos or LACM attack, hunting sub and carrier hunting.

Are two aircraft carriers being developed simultaneously or is this the only one being worked on at the moment?

Yes, they shall throw away all the antique weapon system and replace it with Chinese one. I expect they replaced the shtil rail launcher with Chinese HQ-16 VLS.

I think we should stop to build more 054A-class, this had built 22x now. It's time to develop new-gen FFG for PLAN, at least instal small AESA radar on new-class FFG like Eurpean FFG.

22x 054A-class FFG is enough ! Don't waste more money on it, let's update to new AESA FFG in future.
