Pure vaporware.
Probably neither.
It was during peacetime and we do not know if the US carrier was actually unaware of its presence.
Better just to pretend it didn't happen rather than speculate about any deeper meaning.
We don't know, and don't believe everything you read.
Typically the answer for these kind of questions is we don't know.
054As won't be operating alone and they can use data from the other destroyer radars in the fleet so that's not much of a problem.
Im curious about something. When it comes to description of armaments of ships like 054A, 052D, 055, 056A it always says that there are 2 triple torpedo launchers. But looking at picture of these ships, I can never visually detect these torpedos, can someone help me identify them? Where in the ships are they?
The triple launchers are hidden behind panels (#18 point, in the first image below) that are normally flush with the hull.
The panels open, revealing the triple launchers, the launchers are trained, torpedoes are fired, and the panels are then closed.
It's much more than that, but you get the idea

Wow fantastic response thanks a lot!!! So which ships have these torpedo tubes? Or lets say in between 053H3, 054, 054A, 052C, 052D, 055, 056A is there any that doesn't have them?The triple launchers are hidden behind panels (#18 point, in the first image below) that are normally flush with the hull.
