Based on this picture we have to question just how big the Type 056 is and there for it's cost.

Second pic in post #512 gives another perspective of the 056 relative to the bow of the 054A in the background. With the 056 moored alongside that concrete extension, does anyone with intimate knowledge of the shipyard have estimates of the length of that concrete extension? That could help provide some rough idea of 056's size. Also, anyone have a good pic of a Jianghu 053 alongside a 054A for comparison purposes? I wasn't expecting the 056 to be a large vessel at all, just wondering how much smaller it is compared to the old 053s.

Just grabbed this one from GE, remember 056 is expected to be approximately 500t lighter than the pictured 053H.

Here's a to scale comparison of the Type 022, Type 056 and Type 054A:

Thank you both for the comparo. Jeff, I've seen your scale before and it's a great chart, but are we 100% certain at this point, the 056 is 90m in length? The older 053s are minimal at 103m, so that means the 056 at 90m would be at least 20m or 60 feet shorter. That's a significant length reduction and if 500t lighter than the older 053Hs, would put the 056 in the 1000t range instead of 1500t. At that size, it would make its weapons suite more than adequate.

I have always believed that 056 has a standard displacement of around 1000t and a full displacement of between 1200 and 1300t.

Well, my scaling shows her coming up to just aft of the windows ont he bridge while the 053H comes up to the aft end of the main gun. So she is somehwat shorter. But I show her at 1,400t due to her equipment and other dimensions.

We'll have to see...but I believe she is a very decent OPV design and that the PLAN should and will build a lot of them.

Can someone tell me what will be the anti air missile for this ship? I heard HQ-10 or FL-3000, and what exactly is HQ-10?

Also does this ship carry on board sonar and torpedo?

駐港部隊將配備新型輕護衛艦 (17:06)
駐港部隊司令員張仕波表示，駐港海軍正在準備裝備某新型護衛艦。

2010年，駐港部隊三軍的主戰裝備進行了更新，增加了特種營、工化營、防空營等編制。武器裝備也進行了大幅度的調整，如陸軍成立了特種營、裝甲營、工化營，空軍增加了某新型指揮偵察機、武裝直升機、防空導彈等裝備，海軍正在準備裝備某新型護衛艦。

張仕波說：「這是根據香港的特點來裝備的，這些建制的調整和裝備的更新，在物質上給了我們提升戰備能力的物質基礎。」

15年來，駐港部隊先後有4300多人被評為訓練尖子，新兵訓練優良率逐年上升並保持在97%以上，所有飛行員全部具備全天候遂行飛行任務能力。（中新社)

It's a very short mentioning, but that's the meat of this news: "the naval garrison is making preparations to introduce a new class of corvette into service"...don't know if that means we'll be seeing her debut in Labour Day openhouse next year.

Well, there you have it. I wonder, in total how many HK will get?

Then where?

With an expectation of so many being built, ultimately you should see them all over the place.
