With the advancement of technology, China is mass-producing modern battleships.
Beijing Time In May 2018, the Chinese Mainland Military Forum exposed a group of CG photos of the PLA 057 guided missile frigate.

The 057-class guided missile frigate will adopt the power arrangement of dual-gas turbines and dual-diesel generators, and will use the power distribution center to rationally output power from the thrusters and the power supply of the entire ship.

There is speculation that the 057 missile frigate will be equipped with a new type of electric propeller that can be rotated and retracted in the lower part of the hull.

The main propeller of the 057-class guided missile frigate will use a 5-bladed variable-pitch propeller.

According to reliable sources, the Chinese Navy’s fourth-generation guided missile frigate, the 057-class frigates, has been designed and the frigate has already started construction.

In the aircraft carrier formation, the 057-class guided missile frigate is the closest ship to the aircraft carrier and is equipped with medium-range air-defence missiles, so it is called "guard with a knife."

The 057-class missile frigate is not a simple enlargement of the 054A frigate, and it can only be seen when it is time to launch. However, it is still possible to give it a “portrait” based on “tactical needs” and “technical possibilities”.

An important task of the 057-class guided missile frigate (right) is anti-submarine warfare. This class of frigate has been greatly improved compared to the 054A (left).

We shall see who is the fan boy in a very shot time ,in order to undetake the new aircraft carrier escorting task,the 054B will be only larger than the 5000T as I said not smaller.
We shall See fanboy!


057 seems not granted to 054B!


Normally a huge warship shall have 25 to 35 years service life,the first 054A put into service is around 2008,I do not think they will be replaced in the near future,perhaps maybe once the updated version put into service those 054A would not be used in the front-line but as 2rd line back up battle ship!
ok````oh, btw, 054A's full displacement is around 3900t````052C's full displacement is around6900t, as I said, fanboys always like bigger and bigger```:lol:

Omg, it looks a mini-version of Type 055 model destroyer. Even the front section. That would be nice!

COREECTION:
It is stated that PLAN will no longer order the 054A frigate but 054A frigate production line will not be shut down but always prepared for export customers considering that it is still one of the most advanced frigate production line on this world!

So i guess the total number of 054A guided-missle frigate may not be limited as 36 units!
No need to worry spare parts Pakistani bros!
