You guys preparing to invade Taiwan?

How can China invade something that is already theirs? Invade is not the appropriate word.

Has anyone an up to date list of all PLAN ships in service by type.
Probably including commissioning dates and fleet deployment?
I can only find a list from 2009 and some 2010 wiki information.
Meanwhile a dozen of new ships joined the PLAN.

Id like to see at what rate, in which direction each of the PLAN fleets develop rather than just hearing about new ship launches them self.

Last time i checked, Taiwan was a mere 90 miles off the coast of China........they really don't need to stage an invasion......

These are intended for out-of-area work, rather than invasion of Taiwan (which is so close to the cost that even medium sized LCAC like the russian project 1206 Kalmar/Murena could reach it from mainland)

Best lookin' ship in the PLAN imo

The speed of building the 3rd 071 is incredible, in this photo depicts 2nd 071 still under fitting and the just launched 3rd unit right behind.

And there are 2 units of 054A frigates being fitted in the same location.
