Umm.....yes, some people think '173' was commissioned in the Spring..........but i'am more inclined to believe that the vessel if commissioned was done so in the middle of July............yet its strange we havn't seen images of said event........normally one of our Chinese members here usually...

Please can members here make professional comments only please..............thanks! :(

'cirr'...............how many 056's are now commissioned in the Chinese Navy? .............ive lost count! :-)

Yes.........i know some Chinese warships, lets say have a quiet commissioning........where the news of the event is not widely reported, even amongst Chinese sources.............BUT do you know for sure that the 2nd 052D has been commissioned? i.e. have you seen a news report somewhere...

Yes, and with China getting more and more export orders for warships, it must be quite a juggle for the Chinese shipyards, to fit these orders in, while at the same time fulfilling the requirements for the construction of Chinese naval vessels!.......its all a matter of...

Regarding 056's...........i ask because only last week in one of your posts you showed a picture of an 056 at a shipyard, saying it was the 26th vessel launched. :-) It is generally believed by Western sources that China has so far made around 20-22 056's active, as to this present point of...

Don't you mean 26 056's launched, as of present? So, do we think still there will be around 12 052D Destroyers built.........10 at JN and 2 at Dalian. Or will Dalian build more......as the building halls at JN will be used to build the 'beast' the 055 Cruiser? :-) ps: Can anyone post an upto...

Does anyone know approximately how many 056's are under construction at this moment in time, that are at a stage prior to launching? Also do any members here have a database of the 056's that have so far been built?..............I ask as someone has been to the 'wiki' page, and destroyed a set...

Excellent pictures @cirr, but are we any wiser to knowing if this is an aircraft carrier or perhaps something a little smaller such as a helicopter carrier? Are there any clues in the structure, that members here can make a judgement as to what the vessel will turn out to be?

Well DL-D1, is an abbreviation here for DL (Dalian shipyard) - D1 (1st 052D Destroyer), therefore the shortform term, means the '1st 052D Destroyer, being built at the Dalian shipyard' :-)

I've said it before........but PLEASE can members here give a description with their photo's........you know it makes sense. Thanks. :-):mad::sniper:

What is this a picture of 'cirr'.........?

FFG 579 Handan....................type 054A! Yep........must be due for commissioning soon.............as we can see the guy who paints the pennant numbers on the warships, is busy at work! :-)

I like the aggressive look of these 'Zubr' hovercraft! :-) Anyone know how many in total China expect to build?

I would be very surprised if China ever built a warship for Russia! I mean, it would be a huge pill for the Russians to swallow, particularly now as they have been seriously burnt by the French, with the non-delivery of the 'Mistral' class, due to US pressure! As you said Chinese shipyards are...

Please find some other forum for your trolling! :mad:

Eh!............where's the photo's 'cirr'?:-)

I think this article about the 'US' would not be deterred by the Chinese deploying S-400 missile batteries is absurd. One thing the Russians are expert at..........and that is in the area of air-defense. Of course the deployment of S-400 batteries would have quite an impact on the planning by...

Ok............nice photo.........BUT did this photo come from a reliable source, with some accompanying text, stating that this is actually the build of an Aircraft carrier, or some other type of flat top..........or is everyone jumping to conclusions again? Anyway, i thought the Chinese had...

Is this vessel being built now, or is it in the design stage, or is it just a dream? I hope its for real...........coz those images of vessel look very impressive!
