Linyi (547) is a Type 054A frigate of the People's Liberation Army Navy . She was commissioned on 22 December 2012.
Development and design
The Type 054A carries HQ-16 medium-range air defence missiles and anti-submarine missiles in a vertical launching system (VLS). The HQ-16 has a range of up to 50 km, and superior range and engagement angles to the Type 054's HQ-7 . The Type 054A's VLS uses a hot launch method; a shared standard exhaust system is sited between the two rows of rectangular launching tubes. [1]
The four AK-630 close-in weapon systems (CIWS) of Type 054 were replaced with two Type 730 CIWS on Type 054A. The autonomous Type 730 provides improved reaction time against close-in threats. [2]
Construction and career
Linyi was launched in December 2011 at the China State Shipbuilding Corporation in Shanghai . Commissioned on 22 December 2012.
On 17 August 2015, Taizhou , Linyi , Hengyang , Taihu and Yunwu Shan participated in the Joint Sea 2015 II in the Sea of Japan . [3]
