Re: Missiles for 2208 catamaran FAC
It looks the same as any YJ-83 to me. The YJ-81 is long out of production and it does not look as long (in proportion to the midfins) like this. All the YJ-82/83 has a short initial rocket stage as you can see here.

Re: Missiles for 2208 catamaran FAC
Maybe based on what fleet the boat is assigned to? I don't quite get why they need to paint the numbers onto the boats? Do other navies do this?

Re: Missiles for 2208 catamaran FAC
Do other navies paint pennat numbers on their boats??? For...(arnger mangment, anger managment...) Well yeas they do. Why not picking any book about warships (or internetsite for that matter) and take a survey around the world navies. You'll notice that all navies does it and have the each numberingsystems varies from each others
But we shouldn't give too much gredit for pennat numbers in the ways of indicating the exact numbers of the platforms. As it is the most visible recocknition feature, thus its the most common way to fool the foreing observators, just change the numbers occasionally.

Re: Missiles for 2208 catamaran FAC
Your second paragraph is the reason why I asked about other navies painting pennant numbers. I notice PLAN tends to have what I consider unusually large numbers painted. Sure, it makes it easier for identification amongst themselves but by the same virture, you're making it easier for opponents to keep tabs as well.

Well the size and shape of the Pennant numbers vary, but China isent exeption in other ways that It uses unusuall black numbers, as does India. Usually white (shadowed or not) numbers are carryed, in similar size to PLAN uses, and many western navies use the Nato pennat code system lettering in front of the numbers.

Re: Missiles for 2208 catamaran FAC
True. In the PLAN, only the big ships and the support ships appear to have painted pennant numbers. The subs and the Houbeis in particular, have removable pennant numbers, although the older older FACs don't. At one time, the subs actually have their pennants painted on.
Now the pennants on the subs or Houbeis are ever displayed at all, and it is a very rare pic to show them, as if the intention is to hide their real numbers. But seasoned observers will prefer to note the surroundings of the ship in question, which can be used to locate its base and sea of operations (NSF, ESF or ESF). The Houbeis in particular have unique color and camouflage schemes, and the colors vary by the fleet. The NSF ships for instance use darker blue shades while the SSF ships use lighter blues.

Re: Missiles for 2208 catamaran FAC
Well i have seen pics of Luda class with odd pendant numbers like 182 displayed in one of the older Weyers books, and something from 400 series I once saw in pic in the CDF... So I firmly believe that there are slinging numbers allocated to surface combatants as well, atleast in some extent.
