FFG 054/054A Thread

[tphuang]

Here is some really strange rumour. Someone mentionned on Chinese forum that a rep from Huangpu shipyard said China is selling 054, sea patrol ship and semi-submersible vessell to Mauritius in exchange for fishing rights in their waters. One of the more bizarre things I've read in a while.

I just found out that China will install the newer version of HQ-7 (FM-90) for PN's F-22P. My question is that why didn't China install the latest versin of HQ-7 on their early 054s? Coz FM-90 was introduced in 1998 when China was still building 053s. In fact how do we know HQ-7s on the two early 054s aren't FM-90? Are there any ways to tell the difference between the two versions of HQ-7? (The reason I ask is because the information I can find on 054s and later version of 053H3s all suggest they just use the old FM-80.)

who told you they are not? After all FM-80/90N are just export versions.

I think that claim is way out there. Mauritius doesn't have a military, only a police force with 4x4's and national coast guard service:

Their "flagship" CGS Vigilant is an used off-shore patrol vessel purchased from Chile, refurbished by India.

I don't think they could afford 054's...

wow, the second one looks like it should be launched any day now. Nice shot of the bow mounted sonar. I wonder whatever happened to the one under construction on the left.

I'm thinking that has to be an older picture. The keel is laid and some buildup on the vessel to the left...but more recent pictures clearly showed a vessel to the left much further along than this one. But those are just my thoughts.

Interesting, I did take a look back at my photos, it doesn't look like a photo from when the first 054A in HP got launched. But anyhow, here are 3 new photos from the already launched 054A.

No offense :roll: taken I was just a bit mad about the Hinduism part coz Mauritius has many different cultures and religions. Indian immigrants which count for over 60% of the population are not all Hindus or of one religion.

Some come from Madras some come from the North of India and we have quite some different cultures from India.

There's also people from Africa I mean descendants of Slaves, People from Europe and also a small minority of Chinese immigrants who are very important to the economy of Mauritius.

The Chinese here are mainly in business and have over the years built a huge empire from Supermarkets to textiles and are in every sector of the Economy.

We are part of SADC, COMESA, the AU (African Union), Commonwealth, the Francophonie, we have important trade deals with India, China. Europe, the USA.

There are big Chinese companies who are already set up their headquarters in Mauritius to prospect in Africa e.g. Huaweii
