Not too long ago some one suggested that China CG could use 056 hull for their new ships. Here is a modified 056 hull China CG ship. Chinese internet think that this ship will be used for customs duties.

Any reason the 056 hull would be better suited for customs duty? Is it built to military standards? Would it simply be cheaper to build all future 1000 ton class CG vessels with the 056 hull due to scales of economy?

I am not really surprised.

The PLAN is having great success with this hull for littoral duties...and that type of duties is a nice sync with the Coast Guard.

Makes a lot of sense for them for this size vessel.

That's a great pic.

I wonder why we haven't gotten any recent photos of the almost finished 12k tonner at JN...

I bet it should have been launched by now.

Understood and my thoughts are along those lines which is why I wonder if all future 1000 ton class CG hulls will simply use the 056 hull for scales of economy? Not to mention if they ever needed to arm them heavily, it would be advantageous to have the same hull types.
