Xinhui from CDF posted this write up on type 56. Interesting they eliminate the hangar because of cost consideration and mainly operation range of type 56 is the economic zone. so still within protection of ground based air cover. Also long extended operation demand crew comfort adding hangar reduce space. No problem I think in the long run they can add larger AV500 Navalized as organic air surveillance
056型护卫舰是中国海军大量装备的千吨级轻型多用途护卫舰，其主要用途是在中国海洋专属经济区内执行警戒巡逻、反舰反潜、护航搜救等，对进入这一海域内的不明舰船进行监视跟踪，在登陆作战中为登陆编队警戒护航并遂行登陆时的火力支援等任务。056轻型护卫舰在设计之初即分为056型和056A型，056A型相对056型的主要不同在于加强了对潜艇的搜索能力。056型舰的满载排水量为1370吨、设计最大航速27节、舰员人数为67人。
056轻型护卫舰研制的目的在于加强中国沿海及近海的防御能力。长期以来，中国沿海及近海的防御主要依赖037型快艇和053型护卫舰，随着037型艇和053型舰的退役，这个空白急需进行填补，056（A）轻型护卫舰也就应运而生。虽然此前中国海军已拥有数量达60艘的22型导弹快艇，但其用途单一，并不适合遂行上述任务，22型导弹快艇的诞生背景特殊。此外，056轻型护卫舰的研制，还将054系列护卫舰和052系列驱逐舰从常态化、日常化和近海化的繁琐任务中解脱出来，形成不同层次和区域的使用重点和作战重点，各司其职，互相弥补。中国漫长的海岸线注定056系列轻型护卫舰的建造数量将会较多，预计会超过60艘。056（A）型舰的造价也相对低廉，056型造价不到7亿人民币、056A型造价为7亿多人民币。
056（A）型舰虽然吨位较小，但“麻雀虽小五脏俱全”，其作战功能比较全面且均衡。对空作战主要武器为单管76毫米舰炮和红旗10舰空导弹武器；对海作战为单管76毫米舰炮、单管30毫米舰炮和鹰击83J舰舰导弹，鹰击83J舰舰导弹是鹰击83的升级增程型，其射程增加了一倍以上，在后续建造批次上，单管30毫米舰炮将被14.5毫米舰载机枪取代；反潜作战主要是使用舰壳声呐和311型拖曳声呐及鱼-7系列鱼雷武器；056型舰还配备了电子战系统，安装有诱饵发射装置。056型舰的武器配置由其定位和使命任务决定，因其主要为专属经济区内使用，在配置上虽然无法与054系列和052系列驱护舰相比，但在完成既定任务时已经足够，过冗余设计就是浪费。
056型舰的舰载电子设备配置较为全面，配有361改进型搜索雷达和906型数据链及海军综合数据链，并首装了国产ZKJ-5改进的第二代作战指挥系统，该作战指挥系统对作战指挥流程和人机界面都进行了较大的升级优化，并实现了与编队作战指挥系统的一体化，这极大提高了056型舰的体系作战能力，使得056型舰的信息化程度得到了提高，成为体系作战中的一个作战节点，该技术在目前各国海军中处于领先，此二合一作战指挥系统也在054A型等后续驱护舰上得到推广。
056型舰设置有直升机起降平台但未设置机库，这主要是由056型舰的定位所决定。056型舰作为多任务轻型护卫舰，在配置上较为全面，且较为注重舰员的生活品质，这些都需要占用较大的舱容，如果设置机库后，势必要极大压缩上述需求的舱容，而关键在于056型舰的主要活动海域为200海里专属经济区，在这一区域内，陆基飞机和其它作战舰艇都可实施快速支援，056型舰往往承担是“斥候”的角色，故设置机库在需求上不强烈，在性价比上并非最优。在执行特定的需要直升机参与行动时，如实施人道救助或对某一海域进行加强反潜时，056型舰的直升机起降平台完全可以满足直升机临时起降的需求，此外，如果056型舰设置机库也增加了建造成本，对于大批量建造的舰船必须考虑成本问题，在满足预定的作战需求的前提下，必须控制建造成本，这也是中国海军乃至国防军事可持续发展

The 056 frigate is a kiloton light-duty multi-purpose frigate heavily equipped by the Chinese navy. The main purpose of the 056 frigate is to carry out vigilance patrols, anti-ship anti-submarine warfare and escort search and rescue operations within China's maritime exclusive economic zone. For surveillance and tracking, in the landing operations for the formation of escort escort and landing fire support tasks such as landing. 056 light frigate at the beginning of the design is divided into 056 and 056A type, 056A type 056 compared to the main difference is to strengthen the submarine search capabilities. 056 warships full displacement of 1370 tons, the maximum design speed of 27 knots, the crew of 67 people. 056 light frigate developed to strengthen China's coastal and offshore defense capabilities. For a long time, China's coastal and offshore defenses relied mainly on Type 037 speedboats and type 053 frigates. With the retirement of Type 037 and Type 053 ships, this gap was urgently needed to be filled. As a result, the 056 (A) light frigate came into being. Although the Chinese navy already had a fleet of up to 60 Type 22 missiles, its single-purpose use was not suitable for the above tasks. The birth of the Type 22 missile speedboat was very special. In addition, the development of the 056 light frigate will also liberate the 054 frigate and the 052 frigate from the cumbersome tasks of normalization, normalization and offshoreization to form focus and operational focus at different levels and regions and focus on their respective duties, Make up each other. China's long coastline is destined to build 056 series of light frigate will be more, is expected to be more than 60 ships. 056 (A) type of ship is relatively low cost, 056-type cost less than 700 million yuan, 056A-type cost of 700 million yuan. Although the tonnage of Type 056 (A) is smaller, the "sparrows are small and all-powerful" and their combat functions are more comprehensive and balanced. The main weapon against air operations was a single-tube 76 mm naval gun and a red flag 10-ship air-to-air missile weapon; a single-tube 76 mm naval gun was deployed against the sea; a single-pipe 30 mm naval gun and a hawk 83J naval missile; Missile is an upgraded version of Eagle 83 attack range, its range more than doubled in the subsequent construction of the batch, the single tube of 30 mm naval gun will be replaced by 14.5 mm carrier-based machine guns; anti-submarine warfare is mainly the use of hull sonar and 311 towed sonar and fish-7 series of torpedo weapons; 056-type ship is also equipped with an electronic warfare system, the installation of bait launchers. 056-type ship's weapon configuration by its positioning and mission mission, because it is mainly used within the exclusive economic zone, although the configuration can not be compared with the 054 series and 052 series of destroyers, but in the completion of the established task is sufficient, Too redundant design is a waste. 056 warship's shipboard electronic equipment configuration is more comprehensive, with 361 improved search radar and 906 data link and navy integrated data link, and the first domestic ZKJ-5 improved second-generation combat command system, the operational command The system greatly upgraded and optimized both the operational command process and the man-machine interface, and realized the integration with the formation combat command system, which greatly enhanced the system combat capability of the 056 type ship and made the informatization of the 056 type ship The degree has been improved and become a combat node in the system operations. This technology is currently leading the navies in various countries. The two-in-one operational command system is also being popularized in the follow-up destroyers such as Type 054A. 056-type ship equipped with helicopters landing platform but not set the hangar, which is mainly determined by the positioning of the 056-type ship. As a multi-mission light frigate, the 056 type ship is more comprehensive in configuration and more focused on the quality of life of the crew. All of these require a large capacity. If a hangar is installed, it is necessary to greatly reduce the capacity of the above requirements , But the crux lies in that the main active waters of the 056-type ship are the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone. In this region, land-based aircraft and other combat ships are capable of rapid support. The 056-type ships often assume the role of "scout". Set the hangar in demand is not strong, not the best price. In the implementation of a specific need for helicopter participation in operations, such as the implementation of humanitarian assistance or to strengthen anti-submarine in a certain area, 056 helicopters take off and landings platform helicopter can fully meet the needs of temporary take-off and landing helicopters, in addition, if the 056-type ship setting machine Libraries also increase construction costs, and cost considerations must be taken into account for ships built in large quantities. Construction costs must be controlled to meet predetermined operational requirements. This is also why China's navy and even its defense and military sustainable development

The three arguments that xinhui presents against a hangar on the 056 are crew comfort, role, and cost. Of these the last two are reasonable, while the first seems to be pure speculation on his part. Adding a hangar does not have to decrease space used for "quality of life". You may actually end up with more space after a hangar is added. A hangar would necessitate a second deck level in the back, like so:
While you lose the surface area directly underneath the helicopter (in red), you gain the surface area (in green) added due to the additional second level deck space:
That additional deck space could house whatever was lost by the red space plus additional space to be used for flight crew berthing along with extra munitions, fuel, helicopter maintenance equipment, etc.

Why would they replace the 30mm cannons with 14.5mm HMGs? Has this actually been observed?

now noticed in Twitter:
Une nouvelle corvette Type 056 devrait être mise à l'eau demain au chantier naval Hudong-Zhonghua. Si le compte est bon elle devrait être la 43e de série depuis Mai 2012, et la production de cette classe de navire continue dans 4 chantiers navals différents.

A new Type 056 corvette should be launching tomorrow at the Baike.com-Zhonghua shipyard. If the account is good it should be the 43rd series since may, 2012, and the production of this class of ship continues in 4 different shipyards.

That would mean 3 launched in 2017
Last year 10
Lowest rate since start in 2012

Lowest rate since start in 2012
if I am reading the article correctly it claims the cost of 056 is 700 million RMB or roughly $106.7 million dollars. This seems a bit high to me as previous estimate for the coast guard variant was $30 million dollars?
I think for a low cost patrol corvette the 056 does the job just fine. But for ASW missions you need better aviation support to refuel/rearm ASW helos.

Yes but look at what kind of ship that they launched in 2017 . Type 56 is only one of the ship among many types. Overall it was a good year for Chinese navy well I say great year. the first Carrier , the first type 55 The first SURTASS, The first large AOR. Tonnage wise it probably close to last year
Man.... That's a very very very successful outing for the PLAN. I would like to know the build rate and classes OF Navy Ships of other major navies during the same period. It will be tough to outdo the PLAN.
I still can't believe how incredibly far the PLAN has come since i first started having serious interest in the PLA from 2008. It's barely ten years and they have moved at lightning speed. The Chinese military seems to be developing in Geometric proportions and in so many areas all at once. One cannot compare the PLA of today to the PLA of 3 years ago. Same will be the case of the PLA of 2020 compared to the PLA of 2017. Imagine what they would be like in 2028....!
