The Type 054A (NATO/OSD Jiangkai II) is a class of guided-missile frigate from the People's Republic of China. It is a development of the Type 054 frigate;[5] compared to its predecessor, the Type 054A has medium-range air defense capability in the form of Type 382 radar and vertically launched (VLS) HHQ-16 surface-to-air missiles.[6]
The first ship (Xuzhou) of the new Type 054A was laid down in 2005 and entered service with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) in January 2008;[3] the class was a key component of the PLAN's surface fleet by the late 2010s.[7][8][9] Production was ongoing in 2023, with the next batch of 10 ships commissioned in 2022 and 2023, and a final batch of 10 ships under development.[10][11]
