056 class FFL/corvette

HArd to make all of that out. They seem like more complete subsections sitting there.

We know they are already building one each at HD and HP...but if they are already building them at other places I would be surprised. I would have expected the first two to come out and be checked out before more production went on...maybe they will build 4 or 6 to start.

I think they are chunking out these 056 like hotcakes...

I bet it will be so fast and so furious , we will not even bother to take note of it anymore. Just like 022 FAC...

4 yrs to completed all of them?

Didn't the 022 FAC go through a trial and evaluation period with the initial vessel(s) before going into serial production? It would seem PLAN has utmost confidence and satisfaction with the 056 design if they have already committed to serial production without even the first one in the water for trial yet.

It's all mature systems and I believe the hull is very similar to Pattani-class OPV that China exported to thailand.
