The two 056s launched at LNS in 2012：

Two more under construction in 2013 at the same shipyard.

Would Pakistan be interested in having such ships in their navy?

I have this crazy idea of having a larger type 071 type ship carrying a couple of high speed cushion boats with anti-ship missiles. Wonder if you can make those stealthy.

well i was hoping soo but maybe PN willnot be intrested in this....
they will wait for a bit better and capable version of these...
well a long way to goo...
we r inducing more and improved F-22Ps...the agreement is signed..
then i suppose we r looking for destroyers...
after destroyers hadbeen induced then i suppose a better version of this ship will be out..
maybe then PN will consider it..
well i hope PN get J-11Bs...to replace their Mairages.....
i viewed a Pn fighter pilot pic testing J-11B...

It has been calculated for different target speed, the same premise of weapon system accuracy, in order to ensure the full route at least hit probability of the situation, the number of artillery projectiles effectively intercept section basically consistent. Well, with the increase of the incoming missile flight speed, artillery firing rate should also be a corresponding increase.
intercept 1.5 times the speed of sound missile firing rate to 5597 rounds/min, 2 times the speed of sound 6713 rounds/min. , three times the speed of sound to 8386 rounds/min, 4 times the speed of sound, will have to 9579 rounds/minute …

Destroying a supersonic missile at as little as 300m from the ship leaves significant room for damage due to incoming missile debris. Then again, CIWS is a last-ditch weapon and I suppose debris-damage is still preferable to a full-on hit.

Type 056 only with HQ-10.

I know it has HQ-10 and 2 single 30mm. Point is to compare last ditch defences agains AShM (what ever particular system or systems that constitutes in these classes). Type 054 would rely on 4 AK630.

The Vietnam People's Navy like a The Caspian Flotilla that a Lake Navy.

The Caspian Sea is the largest enclosed inland body of water on Earth by area, and variously classed as the world's largest lake or a full-fledged sea. The Southern Caspian is the deepest, with oceanic depths of over 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). The Caspian sea has a surface area of 371,000 km2, compared to 436,400 km2 for the Black Sea (excl Sea of Azov) with a maximum depth of 2,212 m. It is comparable in size to but deeper than the Baltic Sea (377,000 km², 459 m) and both larger and deeper than e.g. the Persian Gulf (251,000 km2, 90m).

Closer to China, the Yellow Sea (excluding the Bohai, which is approximately 78,000 km2) has an area of about 380,000 km2 (150,000 sq mi) and its depth is only 44 meters (144 ft) on average, with a maximum of 152 meters (500 ft).The Sea of Japan has a surface area of about 978,000 km² (377,600 sq mi), a mean depth of 1,752 m (5,748 ft) and a maximum depth of 3,742 m (12,276 ft).

Gepard 3.9 compares favourably to Type 059 and Type 053H3. It compares to F22P and would give Type 054 a run for its money. The latter two ships have the advantage of a longer range SAM and helicopter hanger. However, Vietnam may receive an improved version, which addresses that deficiency with VLS and hangar.

Plz tell me How large of The Caspian Sea is belong to Russian?

It is true that Gepard 3.9 compares favourably to Type 056 and Type 053H3. but 056 will builded 40 as corvette,053H3 is old type frigate.
It only a job that Use 2-4 Gepard 3.9s to against PLAN.

It's ture, China 056 class corvette just a cheap warship in PLAN, to win by deploying large numbers of 056 in South of China Sea.
30-40x 056 class corvettes vs 4x Gepard 3.9s, what's the result?
China building many 056 class corvettes only wanna send more pressures to small Navy countires around China. If in real battle, there'r PLAN 054A/052B/052C warships and submarines behind these cheap 056 class corvettes.

 

[cirr]

It takes just one JH-7B with 4 stand-off supersonic anti-ship YJ-12s to take out all 4 Gepard 3.9s in the South China Sea。

Then the 056s can act bullies to what remains of the Vietnamese Navy。

 

[shuttler]

Take a look at the vast expanse of SCS then you know how useful these 056 corvettes are!
The corvettes are proving a good compromise of cost vs coverage.

 

[Gooo]

Type 056 corvettes are there to do a specific role of guarding Chinese territories. It's not there for the heavy fighting. No point arming it to the max.

If the type 056 comes under attack by any regime, the other big boys will be deployed like type 054A/B frigates, type 052C/D destroyers and future type 055 cruisers.

Then we will soon have type 095 SSN and type 041 SSK.

We also have capital ships like type 071/A LPD, future type 075 LHD and future aircraft carriers.

Don't forget we have our marine surveillance ships patrolling SCS and ECS.
Not to mention type 022 patrol boats.
