The Shangqiu warship has officially entered the navy. What kind of warship is it?

We learned from the official WeChat account of the Cyberspace Administration of Shangqiu Municipal Committee that the naming of the two Chinese Navy Type 056A light frigates was recently announced. The No. 619 Nanyang ship and the No. 618 Shangqiu ship officially arrived at the People's Navy at the end of January and early February respectively. Serving in a certain frigate detachment.

With the official entry of the Nanyang ship and the Shangqiu ship, together with the 501 Xinyang ship, the 593 Sanmenxia ship, and the 612 Pingdingshan ship that have already been in service, the 056 series frigates are named after the cities under the jurisdiction of Henan Province** *There are 5 ships.

As can be seen from the video of the Shangqiu City Double Support Work Headquarters Office bringing all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Shangqiu ship to pay New Year greetings to the people of Shangqiu, the decorations such as the Chinese characters "Shang" inside the ship are very Shangqiu local characteristics, which makes Shangqiu citizens Feel more cordial.

The naval song of Shangqiu warship has been released.

Nanyang began to cooperate with the troops last year in designing the logo of the Navy’s 619 ship name. On January 30 this year, a naming and commissioning ceremony for the Nanyang ship was officially held at a naval base. This is the first time that a surface battleship has been named after Nanyang since the establishment of the People's Navy.

According to reports, the 056 series guided missile frigates are more than 1,000-ton offshore ships independently developed, manufactured and equipped in large quantities in my country. The entire series is divided into two types (056, 056A) and six configurations. Among them, the first Type 056 ship was launched in 2012 and entered service in March 2013. In December 2016, the Navy officially received the last Type 056 guided missile frigate, Ningde; the first Type 056A ship was commissioned in November 2014.

The 72 ships of the 056 and 056A series constitute the main force of my country's offshore defense. In contrast, the Type 056 is mainly used for offshore defense, responsible for daily patrol tasks, replacing the Type 053H frigate series and the Type 037 submarine hunting series of ships, of which 22 have been built. The 056A has enhanced anti-submarine and mine-sweeping capabilities on the basis of the first type. It has better performance and is built in more quantities, up to 50 ships. Although the Navy has received ships 618 and 619 in 2020, the names of the two ships were only announced this year.
