A little elaborate specification of type 053H2 missile frigate:

Weapons

The Type 053H2 was the first major surface combatant to be equipped with the YJ-8 (C-801, NATO reporting name: CSS-N-4 Sardine) sea-skimming anti-ship missile. The frigate has eight box-shape launchers (in four groups, each with 2 launchers) installed in the mid-ship position.

The missile uses active radar homing and is powered by a solid rocket engine with a solid rocket booster. The missile has a range of 40km and approaches the target in sea skimming mode at a speed of Mach 0.9. The 165kg shaped charge warhead has time delayed impact proximity fuses.

The first hull Huangshi (535) has received a modernization refit to be equipped with eight YJ-8A missile (in two groups, each with four launchers).

The frigate's main guns installed on the bow and stern deck are the Type 79A dual-100mm/56-calibre gun, which fires 15kg rounds at a rate of 18 rounds/min. The range of the gun is more than 22km against surface targets. Four Type 76 dual-37 mm/63-calibre AAA guns fire shells at a rate of 400 rounds/min to a range of 9.4km for airborne targets.

Two Type 81 5-tubed 250mm multiple ASW rocket launchers were installed on the bow deck with 30 rockets. For depth charges (DC), the ship was fitted with four Type 64 DC projectors and two DC racks at the stern.

Electronic Systems

The Type 053H2 has a Type 354 ‘Eye Shield’ (I-band) 2D air/surface search radar, a Type 352 ‘Square Tie’ (E/F-band) fire-control radar for surface search and SSM targeting, a Type 341 (I-band) fire-control radar for 100mm gun targeting, a Type 343 fire-control radar (I-band) for AAA targeting, and two sets of the Type 752 or Racal Decca RM-1226 navigation radar.

The electronic warfare suite include a RWD-8 'Jug Pair' intercept, a Type 923-I radar warning receiver, Type 651A IFF, and two U.S. Mk-36 SRBOC 6-barrel chaff/decoy rocket launchers (some hulls).

The vessel has a SJD-5 medium-frequency hull-mounted sonar installed for active search and attack, a SJC-1B reconnaissance sonar, and a SJX-4 communications sonar.

Propulsions

The frigate is powered by two 12E390VA diesels rated at 16,000hp (17.6kW). Two shafts drive propellers. The propulsion system provides a maximum speed of 26.5 knots.

Specifications

Displacement: (Full load) 1,960t
Dimensions: Length 103.2m; Beam 11.3m, Draft 3.19m
Speed: 26.5 knots
Crew: 190~200

Basically the same level of capability of the Pakistani F-22P

Hopefully in the next five years, BD will place orders for the new Chinese Navy frigate that comes equipped with 32 VLS medium-range SAMs.

What does this mean...is it joining BN? If so, I think it requires refurbishment before joining.
