Public description
The Jiangkai-II Type 054A class is the PLAN's principal modern frigate and one of its most important escort workhorses. Medium-range SAMs, anti-ship missiles, ASW weapons, sonar and an embarked helicopter give it a balanced profile for convoy escort, task-group screening, patrol and distant deployments. Its large production run made modern frigate capability routine across the fleet.
