From what ive seen on Chinese military websites, which includes HSH.............another 056 Corvette is expected to be commissioned into the PLAN this weekend, making it the 12th (?) 056 Frigate to become active in the fleet.

It is learnt that the naming ceremony for the frigate will be officially held on June 7, 2014 and it will be the second Chinese warship named after a city in Sichuan province. The frigate will serve to protect China’s interests and territorial integrity in the South China Sea"

Could be I suppose.

They commissioned eight last year, and are pretty much on that mark. I expect eight...maybe nine. I believe by the end of the year we will see sixteen of these vessels commissioned (at least) and that is in two years. Very significant rate.

Looking forward to pics of 056s on actual missions such as patrols. Or even joint exercises but given the state of tension, probably the only one in the area even possible would be Indonesia.

So, altogether, I show that the PLAN is either building, fitting out, launched or commissioned twenty Type 056 vessels. They have done this in about three years. Is anyone aware of another that has started building?

Here's what I show:

Twelve commissioned:

582 蚌埠 Hudong --Launched: 23 May 2012 Commissioned: 25 Feb 2013 Fleet: East Sea
580 大同 Liaonan --Launched: 10 Aug 2012 Commissioned: 18 May 2013 Fleet: North Sea

596 惠州 Huangpu -Launched: 03 Jun 2012 Commissioned: 1 Jul 2013 Fleet: Hong Kong Garrison
597 钦州 Huangpu -Launched: 30 Aug 2012 Commissioned: 1 Jul 2013 Fleet: Hong Kong Garrison
584 梅州 Wuchang -Launched: 31 Jul 2012 Commissioned: 30 Jul 2013 Fleet: South Sea
581 营口 Liaonan --Launched: 18 Nov 2012 Commissioned: 1 Aug 2013 Fleet: North Sea

592 泸州 Wuchang -Launched: 16 Jul 2013 Commissioned: 7 Jun 2014 Fleet: South Sea

589 清远 Huangpu -Launched: 31 May 2013 Commissioned: (Trials) Fleet: South Sea

594 Huangpu ---- Launched: 30 November 2013 Commissioned: (Fitting) Fleet: South Sea

Two under construction:

--- Huangpu - Under construction
--- Hudong -- Under construction

This is a phenominal build rate of some very capable and modern light frigates/corvettes.
