What's new

Can you give any credible sources to confirm PLA Navy has a new type of 054B?? As I know China has ordered 16 054As and there is no such so-called 054B currently.

It's different from the Type 054A. The hull is slightly stealthier. The internal systems, sensors, weapons, etc are completely new (even the gun is new).

Many analysts have pointed out the differences.

Most of the info I got were reportedly copied directly from Janes.

The Type 054B is also on Baidu Baike (China's largest encyclopedia).

Here's a random report I found on the Type 054B:

I didn't see any differences except the bows. And their weapon and propulsion system are still the same according to credible sources. Considering the big differences between 051B and 051C , do you think these minor changes are sufficient to give it a new type ?
BTW, I don't see any Chinese official reports has mentioned 054B. I don't believe Baidu Baike.
