Satellite imagery captured on 10 January indicated that another Type 054B guided-missile frigate is under construction for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) at the Hudong Changxingdao shipyard in Shanghai.

1月10日拍摄的卫星图像显示，位于上海沪东中华造船厂正在为人民解放军海军（PLAN）建造另一艘054B型导弹护卫舰。

 

In the image, the vessel can be seen within a dry dock alongside another large hull, with heavy gantry cranes spanning the dock area and multiple construction platforms surrounding the warship.

在图片中，可以看到这艘军舰停靠在干船坞内，旁边是另一艘大型船体，重型龙门起重机横跨整个船坞区域，周围还有多个施工平台。

 

The hull appears to be at an advanced stage of assembly, with its superstructure partially complete and the bow section clearly visible.

船体似乎已处于装配的高级阶段，上层建筑部分完工，船首部分清晰可见。

 

The ship's elongated form factor and enclosed bow design are consistent with the stealthier profile associated with the Type 054B, strengthening suppositions that this will be the service's third vessel in the class.

该舰细长的外形和封闭式舰艏设计与054B型护卫舰更为隐秘的外形特征一致，进一步证实了该舰将是该国海军第三艘该型护卫舰的推测。

 

Nearby, scaffolding and modular components indicate ongoing work on the upper decks, while the presence of large cranes and support vehicles associated with late-stage construction activities suggests that the frigate will be launched in the next few months.

附近，脚手架和模块化组件表明上层甲板正在施工，而大型起重机和与后期施工活动相关的支援车辆的存在则表明，这艘护卫舰将在未来几个月内下水。

 

The emergence of this probable third hull suggests that China has begun serial production of the frigate type after commissioning first-of-class Luohe and second-of-class Qinzhou in 2025.

这艘疑似第三艘护卫舰的出现表明，继2025年首艘“漯河”级护卫舰和第二艘“钦州”级护卫舰服役后，中国已开始批量生产该型护卫舰。

 

The Type 054B introduces a larger hull form, heavier armament, and more capable sensors, signalling Beijing's ambition to field these surface combatants for extended bluewater operations.

054B型护卫舰采用了更大的船体结构、更强大的武器装备和性能更优的传感器，这表明北京方面有意将这些水面作战舰艇部署到远洋作战中。

 

While official specifications remain undisclosed, imagery and state media coverage indicate that the frigate has an approximate length of 147 m and a beam of 18 m, compared with the 134×16 m dimensions of the Type 054A.

尽管官方规格尚未公布，但图像和官方媒体报道显示，该护卫舰长约147米，宽约18米，而054A型护卫舰的尺寸为134米长、16米宽。
