A picture of 252 as it looks like it's ready to sail off and join PN. There is a big new hull under construction in the background. You guys can make your own guesses on what it is.

I think china defense did a really good job of talking about this. It's pretty significant that something as ancient as Jianghu 3 is capable of going all the way from north sea fleet to south china sea to do patrol. And I guess it continues to spell out the role of jianghu in the future for coast guard duties and such.

F-22P 252 shown here is making a port call in Sri Lanka.
Now, only 253 is left to be delivered.

Fortunately I was in Karachi and at the port when PNS Shamsheer, the 2nd F-22P Frigate, entered Pakistani or rather Karachi waters for the 1st time. I posted the pics on DT and since SDF and DT have good sharing relations here are the pics I took:

These are handsome little ships. Almost like a miniature version of the Arleigh Burkes, which are imo the best looking destroyers in the world.
