054/A FFG Thread II
- Thread starter tphuang
- Start date
I need more info on 576, need more info on units 21 and 22, and need folks here to review and ensure that everything is right for the others.
Forbin? Tphuang? A.Mnn? SinoSoldier? NavyRco? Asif? everyone?
576 with 577 commissioned the same day presumably why you have overlook , 16 jan 2015, NSF yes
# 21/532 and # 22/531 for 2016 both ESF also annouced # 23 and 24th.
For end of year remains one 578 which is not in service
and i have others difference
Better here for date etc... but for homeport/units mine good
Possible 22th ahead sometimes it's the opposite, planned date obviously.
Sometimes " i speak " also Japanese, Korean, Russian or others for big investigations sometimes necessary when the info is difficult to find nothing want local stuff

Well done 'Forbin'...........i had noticed a few errors as well with the 054A build table, but i was too lazy to post them here.
Have you checked the rest of the data on that table, and is it correct?
Wikipedia can still be used as a cross reference to check the build data of earlier vessels, as there is a history page, which shows the original build data of the 054A class.........unfortunately the current page is more or less useless now, since the troll(s) removed the data!
Should we use this table as a reference for the future, or can you 'Jeff' update your table, as i'am sure you want the most accurate info possible, so as to keep your website upto date!
I was only looking at that Chinese 054A build table yesterday on a Chinese military website, and was wondering when boat '578' was going to be commissioned..........and i now see it was commissioned today, ,and this has been confirmed from another source as well............so that's 20 054A's in service now.
I've said it several times before...............but i notice some members still keep posting false information about ships being commissioned, based on the fact that a completed vessel has a pennant number on. The only true reliable source, is when the Chinese themselves report a ship commissioning, usually showing a ceremony by a quayside with flags being displayed. There is a video of said commissioning on the internet, on a Chinese website
Anyway, that's 4 Frigates inducted into the fleet this year.............and with 3 Destroyers, 2 x 052C, and 1 x 052D being also inducted since the end of Dec 2014............that's quite an added punch to the Chinese Navy surface fleet!

We have 579 and soon 578 to be commissioned this year that would make them the 19th and 20th units correct Forbin?
Add to that two confirmed under construction total 22
Rumours running around another 8 are in order books
I love Type 054A

Just a quick note............following on from my previous post.
The wiki page i was referring to was the 'English' language resource pages.
I didnt know there was also a Chinese Wiki page, until i read 'Forbin's' recent post.
The Chinese pages have not been affected by the edit wars.............so if members want to look up the latest data on the Chinese Navy surface fleet......i suggest looking at these pages, as they have very comprehensive, upto date info.
I shall be using this source myself in the future!

Ok I just had a look why is the English wiki all edited? Edit wars ??
Can someone update the wiki and actually lock the page ?

There are actually 24 vessels in the class at the moment.
20 commissioned, 2 in sea trials, and 2 under construction..................and you are right, in that it has been speculated that a further 8 054A's will be built!

People have tried to update and correct the Wiki pages for the 054A and the 056........but for some reason, a certain person or persons is determined to have total control of the pages, and will delete any new entries to the webpages that were not done by themselves.
The moderators at Wiki are aware of the problem, but have been unable to get a response from the person or persons involved for their actions...........and as the moderators themselves do not know if the info is correct or not, the pages have been left in a mess!

Correct I forgot the two under sea trials
Basically if we see another under construction it would suggest this programme has moved into another phase
