Type 053H2G frigate FFG 542, commissioned in 1994, is the last one of the class remains in service with PLAN. Her 3 other sister ships were converted and transferred to China Coast Guard few years ago.

Commission in 1994 is still consider quite new but I guess the system onboard is too outdated. For other navy to decommission such new ship is a waste.

1月17日，由中船重工七〇四所自主设计、拥有完全知识产权的首台国内最大容量船用汽轮发电机组成功加载到110%。机组运行平稳，性能指标达到预期目标，宣告该型汽轮发电机组研发初战告捷，标志着我国已掌握船用大功率、中压汽轮发电机组研制的核心技术，从而使舰船用大功率汽轮发电机组研制技术取得重大突破，成功跨入20MW级时代。

该项目具有有限舱容、功能限定及低噪声等多种特殊要求，功率是我国现有舰船用汽发机组满功率的数倍，与欧美最先进汽发机组功率等级相当，是大容量电力系统的核心设备。机组技术跨越幅度大，实现难度高，具有典型示范效用，是支撑全电推进技术发展的重要成套设备，项目研制意义重大。

目前美国最新的朱姆沃尔特级驱逐舰上使用的是罗尔斯-罗伊斯公司制造的2台MT30燃气轮机，该型燃气轮机功率高达36–40兆瓦，号称世界上具有最高的功率密度的功率最强大的船用燃气轮机。

有网友猜测，我国此型船用汽轮发电机组可能用于新一代潜艇的全电推进，也可能用于航母电磁弹射器。

This is the new Chinese turbine?

Chinese naval electromagnetic gun exposure [too happy] has entered the ship test phase, the world first.

roughly translation:

1. The electromagnetic gun was developed is known by everyone, and it is said that it was jointly conducted by the north institute of technology and the aerospace unit. This is not certain, but it doesn't matter. The Chinese do it anyway.
2. The electromagnetic gun is officially established by the navy, which is determined that the project has been established for about 5 or 6 years. Now, the test on the prototype of the ship is reasonable from the schedule.
3, why not use 909 weapons comprehensive experiment ship, mostly because the power supply problem, 909 ship power plant is fixed, to change for the electromagnetic gun test station, the extra volume is too big.
4. Why use the 072 large landing ship as the testing platform, the reason is as same as above. The tank space of 072 is very large, and there is no problem with the layout of several power stations, which can solve the load demand of the electromagnetic gun. In the picture, the bow gate of 072 has been sealed, and it is estimated that the diving board is also dismantled.
5. Two container modules on deck shall be control room; The pictures did not say where, but it should be in wuhan. The ship built the landing ship, familiar with the structure of the landing ship, and it was easy to adapt.

... already on the move !!

I must admit these are more than interesting times.

Man, the size of that thing One helluva gun

Does anyone have an index or list of China's largest current military developments and projects?

Why? Are you a spy?

New era of naval warfare is here :]

Rumor Y-20 will install WS-20 in this year.

Awesome, must add dishes for tonites dinner!

Sure , Chinese next gen MBT Will also use railgun.
