Chinese Navy (PLAN) News & Discussions

[english_man]

I came here to find out the latest news on the growth of the Chinese Navy...............but i seem to of stumbled on a China vs India argument!

Anyway, i'll join in, and say that personally i think the Chinese Navy if not now, but certainly in the future will be more than able to overpower the Indian navy!

Why they are buying it from China as they already have own expertise in this field.

Why they are buying it from China as they already have own expertise in this field.

They only have experience on building a small patrol craft of 100 tones plus, NNs Andoni (P100) with a 20mm cannon, and a range of tugboats and workboats for oil industry. A warship is a different category. They will need to have technology knowhow on weapon system, electronic gears, battle management suites etc.

From what I can see this will be the most advanced and powerful ship the Nigerian navy will have. This is based on type 56, but type 56 was created by China to be fast building time, cheap and effective in it's intended purpose, near sea patrol, so South China sea, and east China sea. This is a warning ship to China, for actual fighting, the Chinese navy has bigger and more modern ships.

All export versions will add tonnage and weapons and maybe more to suit their need.

152 seems to commission faster than previous 052C. 150 and 151 took donkey years to get it commission while 152 already has pennant number up after launch not long ago.

152 seems to commission faster than previous 052C. 150 and 151 took donkey years to get it commission while 152 already has pennant number up after launch not long ago.

150 has experienced some minor glitches of its diesel engines during the training, that's why 151 has been delayed.

Now the problem has been solved, both 152 and 153 will be commissioned on time.
