054/A FFG Thread II

[Tam]

That 8,000 ton figure might be a mistake. The target vessel appears to be an 074 LST, which clocks in at 800 tons. Judging by that short glimpse near the end.

Good call. However, news footage often use stock footage that often do not depict the actual event.

In the video one officer clearly state the target is twice the size of their own ship(so 4000x2).

Fair point.

Which shipyard is that from? Looks like the messiest and most backwards one in China lol.

Compared to Jiangnan

That's Huangpu, the 31st 054A FFG, first after restarting production.

Those pics were taken while those two ships were completed for launch.

Remove the scaffolding for the 054A still in assembly and they're not too dissimilar.

Oh the scaffolding on the ships are standard I know and rust is common and universal on ships and shipyards.




I was just referring to the facility. Jiangnan shipyard just looks "nicer" and neater than Huangpu. Although that was probably one of the least organised looking part of Huangpu shipyard.

Huangpu always has a more laid back vibe to me, but that's probably just because of the surrounds, what with the hills and forest, vs say Jiangnan, Hudong or Dalian, all of which are surrounded by much more industrialised or urban visuals.
