Re: 4th Sovremenny will sail thru Taiwan Strait in a few days
Here's another link regarding the Sovremenny for China's Navy. Pretty much sums up the same stuff. But it also notes the boost to PLAN this ship will be.
Is this ship also heading for PLAN's East Sea Fleet?

Re: 4th Sovremenny will sail thru Taiwan Strait in a few days
Yeah, they sure do. The feeling seems to be that they provide a nice offensive addition to PLAN's fleet. And since they are going to the East Sea Fleet, it looks as though China wants to ensure it has a readily available offensive potential in the Taiwan Straits right now. I'm really surprised that all units of this class are put in the East Sea Fleet. I thought perhaps China would want to put at least a couple of these vessels in the South China Sea for a myriad of reasons. Though if I'm not mistaken, that's where the 052C are going.
