Type 56 Frigates. China is pumping them out like candy. via Chinese Military Review.

China is pumping out the highly capable and thoroughly modern Type 56 Frigate like candy.  Meanwhile, the US is struggling to produce a working LCS...mechanically working that is, we won't even touch the mission module issue.

What should concern everyone and have every naval blog in the US on fire is the fact that China is demonstrating not only the ability to produce large numbers of warships but that they've practically attained technical equivalence with US designs.

There is no doubt that China has regional superiority.  There is no doubt that they can attain local dominance in a given region in the Pacific.

What remains to be seen is how the US will counter their moves.
