Please help me try to track the progressive improvements and upgrades of the Luda Class DDG, in terms of major weapons system changes. So far I have illustrated:

1. Basic Luda I DDG, original fit:

2. Luda I with twin helicopter hanger replacing rear turret - how many were upgrading in this way?

3. Luda upgraded with 16 x YJ-83, Crotale and automatic 37mm AAA:

I know that there are various other fits such as only 8 YJ-8s in angled positions and different main guns.

Nice thread.

I have a few good pictures and specs on a Luda Page I created here:

Charting the design progression further, here's the 'ultimate' Luda upgrade (note the main guns), the Luhu post-refit (basically increased the number of SSMs) and finally the Luhai class:

The scaling is pretty damn close... I was expecting the Luhai to be wayyy bigger than the Luda...

Actually the rear position radar and CIWS also changed during Luhu refit, essentially making it a luhai with Type 730

Just 9 - 132 was turned over the Naval Aviation Engineering Academy at Yantai.

The è in 2 Flot Destr appears to be a left-over from 2ème...

I had seven years learning French, two in primary school and five in secondary school, and I was still hopelessly bad at it and unable to use it. Fortunately I picked up enough later to read it and to get by when I'm in France, but I don't read French novels. :(
