I am pretty sure that 857 is Tianshuxing based on multiple sources, including the news report about this exercise.

By the way, a Z-9C helicopter was in the picture, probably from the fifth ship in the flotilla, Type 054A FFG-568 Hengyang, where the photographer was.

7XX were used for sub-chasers and missile boats. I cannot recall new boats or ships given 7XX during the last decade or two.


The last time I saw a new #7XX were for for missile corvette of Hong Kong Flotilla, but I believe they have been replaced by type 056A now.

As far as I know, all type 815 /815G /815A were assigned pennant numbers of 8XX.

Yeah, that's what I also know. But, the photo I saw in the internet (a satellite image) was recent and that is looks like a type 815 with pennant number 7XX (looks like 792 to me)..:(

saying in the report that the 792 is the "HAIWANGXING" ship which is the ship name assigned to pennant 852 in many documents/defense pages. Are the PLA-Navy changing their pennant numbers then?
