There is just something awesome and magical about those guns.

Too bad the last two ships only has one of these turrets instead of two.

Progress report on 137.

Cool. Every radar and fitting is fitted. She should be going to sea soon.

The drop from six to four target illumination radars is the result of finding space for the ship's EW suite. The spot for the third set of illuminators are taken up by Type 726-3 ECM.

Could be, I wish we can see the number.

I have a nostalgic connection to these ships. So cyberpunk, love'em.

I posted this on the 054A thread but I'll leave copy here. 529, 136 and 138 or 139 in exercise. All ships are of the 3rd Destroyer Division.

137 ?

Confirmed its still 136.

Its part of this video, which is also connected to the picture of the previous post with 136 on exercise.
