Chinese naval guided missile frigate
The South China Sea fleet of the People’s Liberation Army Navy commissioned a new frigate Qujing at a naval port in Sanya in Hainan.

The Type 056A frigate Qujing, with a full displacement of over 1,300 tons, is developed and built by China independently.

It has a good stealth performance and is capable of attacking aircrafts, surface ships and submarines independently or in coordination with other naval forces, China Military Online reported last Saturday.

misleading title its not a frigate its a corvette its displacement is 1300. the f22p f pakistan is 3000 tonnes which is classed as a "light" frigate so how can the type 056 be called a frigate?

Ada Class is better than this. What we really need is Frigates which has 25 to 40 VLS tubes which can fire all sorts of Missiles.

On the first picture, the ships are actually 054A, not 056.

056 class corvette is classed as light frigate by PLAN. Thus technically it is not wrong to decsribed 056 as frigate.

Even US Dept of Defence 2016 Annnual Report to Congress gave it a FFL abbreviation. FFL stands for Light Frigate.

Some times, tonnage and classification do not corelate. Like the Indian Navy 6000 tonnes Project 17 FFG and 6000 tonnes Delhi class DDG, US Navy latest Zumwalt classed as DDG instead of CG, Japanese 12,000 tonnes Osumi LST etc.

Two 052D DDGs are due for launch in weeks.

Two more will be launched before the end of the year.

Plus one Type 055 DDG.

Doubtful that the 055 will hit the water this year.

More surface ships for the Chinese navy

China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) commissioned its 26th Type 056 Jiangdao-class corvette on 8th June. Source: Via 81.cn
China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) commissioned its 26th Type 056 Jiangdao-class corvette on 8th June at the South Sea Fleet base at Sanya on Hainan Island. On the same day, the 25th Type 054A Jiangkai II frigate was launched at Shanghai's Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard and nine days earlier the 24th of this class was launched at the Huangpu shipyard in Guangzhou.

The latest corvette to enter service is pennant number 508, Qujing, which was built at the Huangpu shipyard. Although the commissioning ceremony took place at the Sanya base, the ship is expected to be allocated to the 26th light frigate squadron, which already operates two other Type 056 corvettes from the Yangpu base, close to the Gulf of Tonkin.

The Type 056 corvettes are believed to be replacing patrol boats of the Type 037 class, and it was reported in May that a further three of these (pennant numbers 746, 748 and 786) have been withdrawn from service. Replacements are not expected to be on a one for one basis and the planned number of Type 056s is unknown, though a further seven are currently being fitted out.

Displacing about 1,500 tonnes, the corvettes are substantially larger than the patrol boats they are replacing and much better armed. Not only do they carry four YJ-83 anti-ship missiles and a 76 mm gun, but an increasing number have an enhanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability. The ASW variants are equipped with variable depth and towed sonars, torpedo launch tubes and can operate a Z-9 helicopter from the flight deck.

The first of the Type 054A frigates only entered service in 2008, but these are now the most numerous class of PLAN escorts. Equipped with a 32-cell vertical launch missile system, primarily for firing HQ-16 anti-air missiles, and eight YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, these are well armed, modern ships.

Modules have begun being assembled where the two 12000-ton CCG cutters were built since March 2016：
