- Start date
The status of 054A from HD shipyard, at least the foremast is installed now, so they are making some small progress on it.
Now, the latest status of 054A from HP shipyard, looks like this ship is ready to be launched soon.

They have it down...results of series production is my guess, and there will probably be more.
Is it just me or does the shape of the maingun behind the canvas in this third 054A look more like the 100mm Compact-copy (as in 054 and 052B/C) than of the AK-176 copy (in first two054A)???
Could be, but we need to see the canvas all opened just to be absolutely sure. Something to note about.
No one knows the final number. There is about 39 Jianghu frigates that I would expect to be retired in the coming years, but I don't expect the PLAN to replace all of them in a one to one basis. One also has to consider the production maybe stopped for a future variant when that is ready.

With the one just finished at HP and the one building at HD, that will make a total of 6 Type 054A to date.We know PLAN has 2-054, but how many 054A uptill now PLAN have including HP & HD underconstruction once & how many more in the future PLAN is looking?
I do not know how many total there will be, but I would expect another 6 more, and maybe as many as 12 more...depending on the PLAN overall goals, and depending on new designs that may come out.
