Wonder what will be the escort destroyers for Varyag, Type 051C or Type 052C?

There are two new destroyers in constructions, the Type 052D and Type 051D.

It is most likely the Type 051D.

Sino do you know what "051" stands for?
051 stands for "steam turbine" whereas 052 for "gas turbine". in the days when 051s were developed, china's gas turbine was yet to be mature. 051C was the last steam turbine warship PLAN have. all new destroyers today are equipped with gas turbine.

Type 051 means that it uses steam turbine. C and D designations mean different types of destroyers.

It is also possible that it means a different type of turbine. However, we know that the Type 051D is an enlarged upgraded variant of the Type 051C.
