601 and 542 are the last 054A, with 542 being the thirtieth. With her hull number painted on, 542 might be ready to be the last 054A to be commissioned.

If we include the export orders that will now be fulfilled we should expect to see a few more of those beautiful hulls coming out before the production run finally ends (although I assume they will be slightly modified versus the 054A's going to PLAN, so maybe not strictly speaking 054A's). Amazing to see that China's industrial capacity is such that it can undertake a massive naval building program whilst also exporting world class vessels to others.
