What's new

Two ex PLAN navy frigate joining in 2018 to Bangladesh Navy.

yea. not a chance the 052D is only 500 million, and not a chance the 055 is 750 million, china has lower costs than the US but not THAT much lower especially considering the cutting edge tech used in these ships.

you wanna make it costly for a enemy? subs, missile, basically anti-access weapons, fight the enemies weakness, whereas the DDG's would be facing their strengths.

Ok let us see the cost of similar size ship with roughly similar capability

Korean Sejong class is 923 million US dollars a ship so and the Type 055 could easily be in the 750-800
million US dollar range.

Type 053H3 / Jiangwei II Class Frigates, China

The Type 053H3 or Jiangwei-II (NATO codename) is a multi-role frigate operated by the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). It is preceded by the Type 053H2G (Jiangwei-I Class) and succeeded by the Type 054 frigates.

Ten Type 053H3 ships were built by Hudong Shipyard and Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard between 1996 and 2005. Construction of the first frigate, Jiaxing (521) began at the Hudong Shipyard in 1996.

The frigate was entered into service in November 1998. The last ship in its class, Mianyang (528), was launched in May 2004 and entered into service in 2006. The F-22P Class frigates of the Pakistan Navy are based on the Type 053H3.

The Type 053 frigate is primarily intended for a coastal patrol role. It can be deployed in anti-air warfare (AAW) and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missions too.

With China, with the next super power!

In wiki it says BN wants to procure 8 more next generation corvettes after completing the 8 C-13B corvettes. And the new program states a corvette of 1500 tons. Maybe, this is the design mentioned there!!!
