The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) commissioned the first of its next-generation Type 054B class of guided-missile frigates on 22 January. Named CNS Luohe, the warship was inducted at the PLAN's Qingdao base, China's Ministry of National Defense (MND) disclosed in a statement that day.
2025年1月22日,中国人民解放军海军(PLAN)服役了第一艘下一代054B型导弹护卫舰。中国国防部当天在一份声明中透露,这艘命名为CNS(中国海军舰艇)“漯河号”的军舰在中国海军青岛基地服役。
 
Luohe is one of two Type 054B frigates constructed for the PLAN and was launched by China's Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding in Shanghai in 2023. Its sister ship is being built by Huangpu Wenchong Shipyard in Guangzhou and is believed to be close to completion.
“漯河号”是中国海军建造的两艘054B型护卫舰之一,由位于上海的中国沪东中华造船厂于2023年下水。其姊妹船由广州黄埔文冲船厂建造,据信已接近完工。
 
Flagship frigate
旗舰护卫舰
 
China's Type 054B is an evolution of the flagship Type 054A (Jiangkai II) frigate, which has been in PLAN service since 2008. The service presently operates a fleet of 34 Type 054A-class frigates with six more hulls in the class under construction at various Chinese shipyards.
中国的054B型护卫舰是054A型(江凯II级)旗舰护卫舰的升级版,自2008年起开始服役。目前,海军现役的054A级护卫舰有34艘,另有6艘正在中国各造船厂建造中。
 
With its large but slender form factor, the Type 054A is capable of achieving relatively higher speed and better fuel economy when compared with other existing Chinese warships in its class.
054A型凭借其大而细长的外形,与同级别的其他现有中国军舰相比,能够实现相对较高的航速和更好的燃油经济性。
 
It has a length of 134 m, a beam of 16 m, and a draught of 5 m. The frigate can accommodate one helicopter in its hangar and has a top speed of 27 kt and a standard range of 3,800 n miles at 18 kt.
它长134米,宽16米,吃水5米。护卫舰的机库可以容纳一架直升机,最高航速为27节,在18节时的标准航程为3800海里。
 
This form factor has led China's maritime planners to adopt the Type 054A design for the China Coast Guard. These are now in service as the Zhaoduan (Type 818)-class offshore patrol ships.
这种外形因素促使中国的海洋规划者为中国海岸警卫队采用054A型设计。这些现在作为昭端级(818型)海上巡逻舰服役。
