TYPE 051C AIR DEFENCE GUIDED MISSILE DESTROYER
Dalian Shipyard of Dalian, Liaoning Province is currently building a new air-defence missile destroyer (DDG) possibly designated Type 051C for the PLA Navy (PLAN). The first of the class, launched on 28 December 2004, carries a pennant number of 115. The destroyer is said to be fitted with the Russian-made RIF/S-300F (NATO codename: SA-N-6) medium-range air defence missile system and the 30N6E phased array radar. The ship is expected to be commissioned in 2006 in the PLAN North Sea Fleet.
The Type 051C is the PLA Navyââ¬â¢s first dedicated fleet air defence missile destroyer, with its design concept similar to the U.S. DDG-51 Arleigh Burke class. The destroyer has a total of 48 RIF missiles housed in six large-size revolver vertical launching systems (VLS), with two launchers on the bow deck behind the main gun and four in the structure in front of the stern helicopter deck. Like the DDG-51, the Type 051C has no helicopter hanger to carry its own shipborne helicopter. Eight anti-ship missiles instead of 16 found on other Chinese-built destroyers are installed at midship due to the limited space.
The general hull design of the Type 051 appears to be identical to the Type 051B (Luhai class) missile destroyer, possibly with a slightly larger displacement. The ship lacks the radar cross-section reduction features found on the Type 052B/C destroyers built by Jiangnan Shipyard in 2004. The exact powerplant arrangement of the ship is unknown, but Ukraine-made gas turbine is one of the possible options.
RIF-M/S-300F MISSILES SYSTEM
In 2002 China purchased two Altair RIF (SA-N-6) shipborne air defence missile systems for two yet-to-be-built air defence ships. The missile is guided by the 30N6E phased array radar, which can direct 12 missiles to engage 6 targets simultaneously. The RLF missile system has been in service with the Soviet/Russian navy for over two decades and is proven to be highly effective against airborne targets. It is installed on all Soviet/Russian cruisers built after 1980.
