La fragata clase Type 054 / Jiangkai I es la primera generacion, de dos buques, de la familia china de fragatas de misiles guiados Jiangkai, construida en Shanghai y Guangzhou para la Armada del Ejercito Popular de Liberacion antes de que la produccion pasara al Type 054A, mas capaz. Fuentes publicas identifican a Ma'anshan y Wenzhou como buques comisionados en 2005 con misiles antibuque YJ-83, defensa aerea puntual HQ-7, canones de defensa cercana AK-630, tubos lanzatorpedos ligeros e instalaciones para helicoptero; ambos cascos estan documentados en despliegues chinos de escolta contra la pirateria en el golfo de Aden y aguas somalies.

Class Overview

El Type 054 fue un puente de dos cascos entre las fragatas Jiangwei mas antiguas y la serie de produccion Type 054A, mas grande. Las referencias publicas situan un buque en Hudong-Zhonghua, en Shanghai, y el otro en Huangpu, en Guangzhou.

Buques

Ma'anshan (525) y Wenzhou (526) son las unicas fragatas Type 054 completadas identificadas en la clase.

Constructores

Hudong-Zhonghua construyo Ma'anshan; Huangpu construyo Wenzhou.

Diseno posterior

El Type 054A siguio con sensores mejorados y una configuracion de defensa aerea con lanzamiento vertical, convirtiendo a la familia Jiangkai en un programa de fragatas de la PLAN mucho mas amplio.

Fuentes: Type 054 Jiangkai I class Missile Frigate PLAN Navy China; The Type 054/054A Frigate Series; Type-054A class.

Variants

El Type 054 fue la breve serie de produccion Jiangkai I. El Type 054A mantuvo la forma general de fragata, pero agrego un conjunto mucho mas potente de sensores y defensa aerea con lanzamiento vertical.

Misil antibuque embarcado

La configuracion de ataque de superficie del Type 054 se centro en misiles antibuque de la familia YJ-83 montados sobre cubierta.

Weapons And Sensors

Las referencias abiertas describen al Type 054 original como un combatiente de superficie compacto con misiles antibuque, defensa aerea puntual, canones de defensa cercana, torpedos y un helicoptero embarcado, en lugar de la configuracion posterior del Type 054A con HQ-16 de lanzamiento vertical.

Ataque de superficieYJ-83/C-803Dos lanzadores de cuatro celdas daban a la fragata una bateria dedicada de misiles antibuque.
Defensa aereaLanzador de defensa puntual HQ-7La configuracion original de defensa aerea era de corto alcance, una razon por la que el Type 054A paso a un sistema de misiles de lanzamiento vertical mucho mas potente.
Defensa cercanaCanon de 100 mm y CIWS AK-630El canon y los sistemas de armas de defensa cercana cubrian tareas de advertencia, superficie y defensa aerea de ultimo recurso.
