In 1996 an $800m deal was reached to purchase two Sovremenny class destroyers (Type 956E 8,400t full load) from Russia which were initially built for Soviet Navy. After prolonged negotiations and delays caused by financial problems of the shipyard as well as disagreement over selection of the onboard weapon systems, the first vessel was finally launched at the North Shipyard in St. Petersburg on Feburary 15, and the second on April 16, 1999. The first ship sailed back to China in early January 2000 under the command of a mixed Chinese and Russian crew, but without any SS-N-22 missiles onboard. The first batch of the missiles (24?) was delivered in May 2000 and the first successful test fire of the missile occurred in November. The second ship (137 Fuzhou) sailed back to China in January 2001, carrying 8 Sunburn missiles. Currently both ships are in service with the East Sea Fleet facing Japan and Taiwan. As the largest and most powerful warship ever to enter PLAN service, its 8 SS-N-22 SSMs (3M80E/Sunburn, active/passive radar homing to 160km at Mach 2.5) are a direct response to US CVBG's presence in the western Pacific, and its 44 SA-N-7/17 SAMs (semi-active radar/IR homing to 25km at Mach 3, multiple fire channels) will provide PLAN for the first time a true fleet air defence capability. 4 Ka-28 ASW helicopters were ordered separately to be carried by the two ships. There is little doubt that Sovremenny class DDG will enable PLAN to project its power beyond China's tra***ional territory. It was reported that China was negotiating with Russia to acquire two more ships (Type 956EM) upgraded with a new combat control system and 3M80E (Moskit-SS-N-22), 3M54E(Club or Klub-SS-N-27) and 3M55 (Yakhont ??"SS-N-26) SSM/SAMs. This $1.4b contract was signed in January 2002 and the first ship is expected to be delivered in 2005 or.
Sale caps biggest Russian arms export in 10 years
China announced it would purchase two more Russian-made Sovremenny-class destroyers. The purchase for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) adds to the two operational Sovremenny destroyers, the Hangzhou and the Fuzhou, delivered to China in 1999 and 2000.
The Chinese warship purchase adds to a growing list of weapons sold to the PRC by Russia over the past 12 months. According to Itar-Tass, the Russian news agency, the two 956-M warships will incorporate new weapons, including a dedicated helicopter, SA-N-10 surface-to-air missiles, SS-N-22 Sunburn missiles and the newly developed SS-N-26 Yahont missile.
Unlike the Hangzhou and Fuzhou, which were assembled on hulls laid before the fall of the Soviet Union, the two destroyers will be new warships. The warships, designed by the Severnoye Design Bureau, are to be constructed from new hulls by the Northern Shipyard company located in St. Petersburg.
"Russian designers have managed to significantly improve combat performance of all weapons to be installed on the destroyers," stated Vladimir Yukhnin, head designer at Severnoye.
In 1996, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy negotiated to buy the 956A destroyer Yekaterinburg and another 956A class destroyer named the Alexandr Nevskiy. The Yekaterinburg was delivered to the Chinese navy in 1999 as the Hangzhou, passing through the Strait of Taiwan with a combined Russian/Chinese crew. The Alexandr Nevskiy was delivered as the Fuzhou to the Chinese navy in November 2000.
Warships Armed With Sunburn Missiles
Each Sovremenny warship is armed with eight supersonic 3M82 Moskit sea-skimming missiles, NATO code-name SS-N-22 "Sunburn." According to documents obtained from the U.S. Navy using the Freedom of Information Act, the Sunburn supersonic missile can be armed with a nuclear warhead 10 times the power of the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima.
Speaking of the reported sale of two more Sovremenny destroyers, one unidentified American military official told Pomfret that the ships, equipped with Sunburn anti-ship missiles, "could potentially hurt our aircraft carrier battle groups."
According to intelligence experts, a new model Sovremenny-class destroyer for China is secretly under development in Russia. It will have vertical launch tubes and the latest missiles, especially designed for fighting against the U.S. Navy and will dramatically increase Beijing's military capabilities.
"Currently the Russian and Chinese governments are discussing the sale of two ad***ional Sovremenny destroyers.
"The supersonic Moskit [SS-N-22] missile, which can be mounted on a naval or mobile land platform, was designed specifically to destroy American aircraft carriers and other warships equipped with advanced Aegis radar and battle-management systems.
"The United States Navy considers the missile to be extremely difficult to defend against."

Thế cần bao nhiêu máy bay để đánh đắm chiếc khu trục hạm TQ này!! VN không đủ tiền sắm chiếc tàu này nhưng đủ tiền mua 2 trái tên lửa để giúp nó tuần đáy đại dương.
Hình như bây giờ hải quân hiện đại đều dựa vào không quân, khu trục hạm chỉ là hộ tống và yểm trợ cho hàng không mẫu hạm thôi thì phải.

China to Buy Russian 'Stealth' Destroyer
NewsMax.com Wires
Tuesday, May 1, 2001
China is secretly negotiating the purchase of two Russian "stealth" destroyers-equipped with nuclear-capable missile systems designed to kill U.S. aircraft carriers, United Press International learned Monday.
The news comes the day after it emerged that Russia and China will sign a comprehensive bilateral treaty defining future relations between Moscow and Beijing over a 20-year period. The treaty is to be signed during Chinese leader Jiang Zemin's visit to Russia in July. According to the Russian news agency, Tass, one important element in strengthening bilateral relations is the expansion of military cooperation.
China last year took delivery of two Russian Sovremenny-class destroyers, and has ordered six more, according to Jane's, an authoritative guide to military hardware. Now, the Chinese are negotiating for the purchase of another two Sovremennys-these ones equipped with the latest anti-radar "stealth" technology-according to Richard Fisher, China arms expert at the Jamestown Foundation.
The destroyers are considered the most formidable ships of the Chinese fleet, mainly because they are equipped with the Russian Sunburn anti-ship missile, which is designed to carry a 120 megaton nuclear warhead. Even with a conventional warhead, the Sunburn is considered extremely dangerous, because its high speed, low altitude and great agility make it almost impossible for anti-missile defenses to stop.
Said one U.S. defense expert: "The sheer final speed of the Sunburn's attack on the target is a real problem for a defensive system." The missile also has control surfaces on the airframe that allow it to do "a couple of very sharp zig-zags before it hits."
If the Chinese used the Sunburn, "some ships would be sunk," said a U.S. official.
The strategic significance of this, according to U.S. defense experts, is that it may inhibit the U.S. from deploying aircraft carriers in the Taiwan Straits in the event of a military confrontation with China. Without these carriers, analysts say, it would be very difficult to break a Chinese blockade of Taiwan.
But according to Fisher, China is looking to upgrade its naval missile capability even further. "The Sunburn is a large, bulky missile," said Fisher and China is trying to replace it with the Yakhont-a ram-jet-powered missile like the Sunburn, except that it's "smaller and (even) harder to detect."
The Yakhont purchase is currently being negotiated as well, Fisher said.
"China is looking for a missile that can be launched in volume in smaller containers by vertical anti-aircraft weapons or anti-ship mounts," he said.
Commenting on the "stealth" version of the Russian destroyer, an administration official confirmed that China is emphasizing stealth in its weapons development because: "It's the detectability of the hardware that's the issue. You want to be there before the enemy knows you there."
The United States can "conceal the presence of hardware," he added, "This means you don't give the adversary enough reaction time to respond."
Dave Smith, China threat expert and president of Global Horizons, Inc., said that the "stealth" technology that the new Sovremennys are equipped with includes coats of reflective paint that help to reduce its radar signature.
U.S. officials said that China is also purchasing a Russian-built fast attack craft that carries four Sunburns called the Molniya.
The only U.S. weapons system designed to counter an anti-ship missile like the Sunburn is the Aegis radar-equipped Arleigh Burke class destroyer. The Bush administration recently declined to sell the Aegis to Taiwan.
With a radar system that can handle between 100 and 200 targets at once, the Aegis-equipped destroyers are considered state-of-the-art weapons. The ships have very sophisticated radars and fire-control systems that can simultaneously defend against surface, air and underwater attack, while also launching offensive strikes of its own.
The Arleigh Burke class destroyer also has two anti-ship Harpoon missiles and can carry helicopters to extend its early warning capability beyond the ship's horizon radars and guide missiles to those targets.
Pentagon officials recommended against the sale in this year's arms package to Taiwan in part because that country's military would be unable to absorb them. It could take up to two years to select and furnish a shipyard capable of housing the advanced destroyers.
President Bush's advisers have recommended that future decisions on the sale the Aegis system be made contingent on whether or not China continues its military build up.

MOSKIT SUPERSONIC ANTI-SHIP MISSILES DELIVERED TO CHINA

The Arseniev Progress plant (Primorsky territory) is realizing a contract to deliver a batch of 3M-80E Moskit supersonic anti-ship missiles to the Chinese Navy. These missiles, known as "Sunburn" in the West, are to arm China's two Sovremenny-class destroyers, ordered via Rosvoorouzhenie, Director General of the Progress plant, Victor Pechyonkin says.
The Moskits ordered are to be manufactured and delivered before mid-2001, when Rosvoorouzhenie is expected to deliver the first of the two destroyers ordered by China. According to some well-informed sources, the Moskits delivery contract is estimated at about US$ 100 million.
Each Sovremenny-class destroyer is fitted with two four-tube launchers for eight Moskit missiles. China has ordered a batch of 50 missiles of the type. If needed, a new contract may be signed to manufacture and deliver some ad***ional number of missiles.
Chinese order to manufacture a batch of 3M-80E Moskit missiles provides Russian manufacturers with a possibility to preserve unique production technologies of these missiles, Pechyonkin stressed. About 300 of enterprises involved in the Moskit missile production program have already started supplies of parts and assemblies to the Progress plant. Of this number, about 30 enterprises are engaged in the most importatnt technological processes of the missile's production.
The Progress plant has received an advanced payment of 12.9 percent of the contract's cost and has transferred the funds necessary to all supplier-companies. The Chinese contract is the first export contract for this unique naval weapon.
Currently, the hulls of the Moskits are fitted with the ramjet engines at the Progress facilities. Supplies are underway of autopilots and other equipment manufactured by the companies associated
Chinese "Stealth" Type-054 destroyer is equipped with 16 advanced anti-ship missiles

World Navies Today: Chinese Surface Combatants
Revised 24 March 2002
Version 1.12
Compiled and Maintained by: Andrew Toppan
This list includes all major surface combatants.
Ships not yet commissioned, or in long-term overhaul/conversion, are listed in italics. Navigation and surface-search radars are not listed. All classifications are purely unofficial and are based on an attempt to use standard classifications throughout all navies; they may or may not correspond to "official" designations.
Note: It remains very difficult to obtain accurate, up-to-date information regarding Chinese naval forces. These is major conflict between published references, especially with regard to class names and numbers. It is also difficult to tell exactly how many vessels are active and how many are in reserve, since many "active" vessels only go to sea for a few days each year. This list represents the best data available from a variety of sources, however, it probably is not complete nor 100% accurate, due to inadequacies of source material.
Fleets: The following abbreviations are used to indicate fleet assignments:
YEL: Yellow Sea. Officially North Sea Fleet.
ECS: East China Sea. Officially East Sea Fleet.
SCS: South China Sea. Officially South Sea Fleet
Aircraft Carrier Programs
Concept/Program: Litte is known about China's aircraft carrier programs, but it is known that one or two carriers are in the long-term naval plan. The Chinese have reportedly held discussions with the French and Russians concerning design and construction of new carriers, and have considered purchase of ex-Russian ships. Plans for purchase of old carriers have been abandonded, but there appears to be a continued desire and plan to acquire a carrier within the first decade of the 21st century.
The hulk of the Australian light carrier Melbourne, purchased for scrapping in 1985, remained in Chinese hands in 1994. The ship was being studied by naval designers.
During 8/1998 the ex-Soviet aviation cruiser Minsk was towed from a South Korean scrapyard to a Chinese port; she now serves as a museum/entertainment complex. The former Soviet carrier Varyag has been purchased by Chinese interests for similar commercial use; the hulk finally left the Black Sea 1 November 2001.
