It seems to me that too much of the specification has been written by US Congress, while the Navy has more than two centuries of experience in this respect.

As I say...to much administrative and bureaucracy got involved...and that included political appointees from two administrations.
It ultimately simply had to be reigned in.
Luckily for the PLAN, it is apparent that the Type 054A and the Type 056 never had to deal with such nonsense.
And good for them. Hopefully the US will have learned from this.

well, I've been following the LCS Project for something like one year and a half now, so I think
- it was actually the US Navy which had to be "pushed" to prepare alternatives to LCS in 2014 (so called Hagel's memo):
but - I think the USN then actually tried to change LCSs as LITTLE as possible, under the circumstances:
- and I think this "backfired" on the USN in the end of 2015:
Plan Type 056 Class Opv/corvette
Thread: Malayan with the Gowinds and Indonesian with SIGMAs, will become better armed!
as Jeff knows
I blamed the concepts of "concurrency" and "modularity":https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/littoral-combat-ships-lcs.t3993/page-83#post-353949
for what the LCS become, and suggested "an evolution of the OHP-class":

instead; Jeff called me "repetitive" in the LCS Thread and oops, I did it again

Here's a photo of the 24th 056 Corvette '506'.
Someone has speculated that the vessel may of been inducted into the fleet, but i havn't found any clarification of that from anywhere, though its clear the vessel will be in the Chinese fleet very soon.
I'll just wait until i see an image of the commissioning ceremony.
Anyway, the picture below shows what a neat little ship the 056 is.

Well since my last post, i can confirm that as expected the 24th 056 Corvette '506' Jingmen has been inducted into the Chinese Navy. This is a 056A variant i believe.
Scroll down page, for image and news article.
Don't forget to update the 056 build table, though we don't know yet the exact date commissioning took place.
