These Type 056 corvettes are suppose to replace the old type 037 missile boats. Does anyone know how many type 037's has been decommissioned so far and how many there are left ?

I presume you talk for Houxin/037-IG and Houjian/037-II in service 20 and 6. Have 24 years may last long enough.

Where is the thread here for missile boats/light corvettes ?

Looks like the rear side portals have been enlarged compared with the earlier builds.

This picture offers a nice clear view from behind of the taller "solid railing" on the roof of the bridge.

No question a great corvette and also a great export success !

25 units in 3 years averaging just over 8 units per year
