China naval group to berth at Iran port [PIC]

[Blackmoon]

A Chinese naval group is to berth in southern Iran as Tehran and Beijing maintain their determination to enhance naval cooperation, the Iranian Navy has announced.

The Chinese Navy flotilla comprises two battle cruisers, a support vessel, and a helicopter, the Iranian Navy’s Public Relations Department said.
It said the group, which has just been to the Pakistani port of Karachi for training purposes, will be docking at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas on Thursday.
A high-ranking naval delegation from China visited Iran for talks in October 2015.

A Chinese Navy flotilla also arrived in the southern Iranian coast three years ago.
Subsequently, Iran’s Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari visited China’s eastern port city of Qingdao with a high-ranking team in attendance and held talks with Chinese military officials.
The Iranian Navy dispatched a naval group to China back in 2012, setting a new precedence in the countries’ bilateral naval cooperation.

Why it is DDG-150 again? That ship has already visited Iran by 2014.

I think China should have sent a brand new ship for this visit.

I think they should send a Type 052D to carry out this mission.

Isn't one of the type 052D? This one:

Looks identical to me.

They are not identical. The Type 052D is much more advanced with a second generation flat AESA panel and cell grid VLS, not the curved AESA and revolver VLS of the Type 052C.

The left is C, the right is D.
