When was the seventh commissioned?

Last Type052D commissioning is not public. So I believe the new trend is PLAN will not more be open about commissioning of Destroyer or major warship except CV.

Reportedly having three "5s": top speed Mach 5, max. range 50km and max. overload 50G.

But HQ-16B has the range of 70km. Why would they decrease the range?

 

[aliaselin]

What is the difference between the new HQ-16C and HQ-16B?

HQ-16B is land based HQ-16C

 

[Ultima Thule]

HQ-16B is land based HQ-16C

Plan is in Place
The Chinese Navy now boasts of 14 newly commissioned warships

Prasun K. Sengupta

The year 2017 saw the People’s Liberation Army’s Navy (PLAN) commissioning 14 warships (see table below), compared to 18 in 2016, including guided-missile destroyers (DDG), guided-missile frigates (FFG) and guided-missile corvettes.

Type 001A aircraft carrier at Dalian
In addition, five 150-tonne Type 726A hovercraft were nearly completed at the Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co Ltd’s Changxing Shipyard in Shanghai, and will soon join six Type 726 Yuyi-class hovercraft already in service with the PLAN. Last year also witnessed two significant events: Launch of the PLAN’s first homegrown aircraft carrier, the Type 001A on April 26 by the China Shipbuilding Industry Corp’s Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company after four years of hull construction activity; and the launch of the first of four Type 055 DDGs at the Changxing Shipyard.

The Type 001A weighs about 70,000 tonnes, is 315 metres long, 75 metres wide and has a cruising speed of 31 knots. It can house ‎48 fixed-wing and rotary-winged aircraft, and is due for commissioning by 2020. The Type 055 DDG project had commenced on 20 December 2009, and the keel laying of the first two DDGs (each costing 6 billion Yuan, or 775 million Euros) was done in 2014 at the shipyards in Shanghai and Dalian. The first Type 055 DDG was launched on June 28 in Shanghai. It is 186m long and 21m wide with a displacement of up to 12,300 tonnes and a draught of 8 metres, and will have a crew complement of 380 officers and sailors.




The Type 055 sports an integrated mast housing L-band and S-band active phased-array radars, plus a 112-cell universal vertical launch system that can accommodate HQ-9B long-range surface-to-air missiles, YJ-12A supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, and CJ-1000 land attack cruise missiles. Others on-board armament fitments include an FL-3000N laser-guided missile suite for close-in air-defence, a 130mm H/PJ-38 main gun, and twin H/PJ-11 ten-barrel 30mm point-defence systems.

All four Type 055 DDGs are being built with large pre-equipped blocks, i.e. the warship is divided into three large blocks of less than 8,000 tonnes, and the modules that make up these blocks are already pre-equipped (with equipment pre-installed, wires, cables and piping already connected) up to the maximum level, which considerably reduces post-launch fitting-out time in the wet-basin.

宇宙历八十年冬至，第一世界最高峰奥林匹斯山封禅台，封禅大典正在举行，主持封禅仪式的是最高领袖褚岩和领袖夫人党卫军全国总指挥花花.冯.色雷尔
花花首先宣读了封禅祭文，文曰

吾祖轩辕，华夏肇造，胄衍祀绵，岳峨河浩。
聪明睿知，光被遐荒，建此伟业，雄立地球。
世变沧桑，中更蹉跌，红岸发信，强邻蔑德。
智子魅惑，科技停滞，妖派降临，人奸何多！
水滴伪善，亡魂百万，人执笞绳，我为奴辱。
懿维国父，命世之英，自然选择，天涯征程。
星舰地球，人类希望，黑暗战役，命殒德存。
岩等不才，剑屦俱奋，亿万光年，何惧艰辛。
频年苦斗，备历险夷，匈奴未灭，何以家为。
星际人类，团结坚固，不论种族，不分贫富。
发展科技，改善民生，亿兆一心，战则必胜。
还我河山，卫我族权，一统悬臂，银河称雄。
经武整军，昭告列祖，实鉴临之，皇天后土。

其后，褚岩最高领袖对在场的人民委员和观礼群众发表了讲话，讲话回顾了在北海国父带领下星舰地球人类筚路褴褛，异星创业的伟大征程，并指出虽然我们的星际舰队已经拥有了六条基地战舰，八条行星远征战舰，十八条乾阳战舰，六十多条各型虎贲战舰，六十多条男女武神战舰，十余条灭星暗影战舰，二十余条各型战斗型暗影战舰，但与敌人的力量相比还没有取得优势，对于一统悬臂，称霸银河的目标而言差的还远，要求全体公民不忘初心，为星舰地球伟大复兴，和我们人民的未来而继续奋斗！

最后，封禅大典在与会群众高呼
最高领袖万年无期
领袖夫人长生无极
中结束

LOL PLAN conducting exercises in East Indian Ocean near Maldives waters. That is Why India is not intervening in Maldives.

The 052D Type 173 Changsha destroyer is not in fact alone in the Indian Ocean at present, it is accompanied by a 903A type tanker, a 054A type frigate and a 071 type LPD. The flotilla also conducted a simultaneous off shore refueling of the three warships.
