You have a PM.

Those are good pics of the LPD and the new FFG.

Any idea if anopther LPD has been started?

I am not sure. I know the Luhus has the DUBV-43 MF variable depth sonar and the PLAN now has a lot of experience with it. So I would be surprised if they did not...although, having said that, the Luhai does not have it.

To the best of my knowledge, no. I would say that the next LPD might be built in Dalian instead of Hudong shipyard. HD is just swamped with way too many new orders right now.

It'll be interesting to see Dalian build one...I would be surprised if the PLAN stopped at just one of these, unless of course this is really just a working prototype that they intend to use to get experience and flesh out the desiign.

Intresting that no one asked what those cables are hanging around in hull of the 168 in such a neat order.

In case anyone of you wanted to know the ship is being de-magnitized. If it is not de-magnitized from time to time all sorts of the electronic wizzardry(Equipment) will go haywire.(malfunction)

Thanks Popeye. I was in fact just about to ask what's up with all the wires. I've seen wires before and always thought it strange, but I've never seen so many. It's like the boat is in some sort of net.

some pictures of 022 from Jiangnan shipyard. Actually I ommitted some pictures of previously identified hull (from 2208-2211), but it doesn't seem like JN is building that many. anyhow, this gives a nice and up close look at the sensors like the SeaGull radar, OT-3 E/O director

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4

a couple of pictures of 328 located in the same area as the 022s. I previously thought the 328 got renumbered as 805, but they are actually in two different shipyards, lol. I feel so stupid now.

a picture of 168 from a recent exercise (I can only assume), it looks like 169 and 171 are behind it.

Re: PLAN Pictures Thread 4

These are some of the photos of 167 and 169. I'm not exactly sure where 169 is at, but 167 is back at Dalian getting some maintenance work done. Some rumours it might be refit with more advanced SAMs.
