Type 053H2G JAINGWEI I!<br />

Huainan (Hull 540)!<br />

Type 053H2G (JAINGWEI I) frigates 540 <strong>and</strong> 542 both have modifications to their sterns for a<br />

towed device <strong>of</strong> some kind. Internet photos have linked Huainan (Hull 540) as being equipped<br />

with a towed array <strong>and</strong> the deployment port is similar in configuration <strong>and</strong> location to that on<br />

the Type 054A. Unfortunately, the presence <strong>of</strong> the h<strong>and</strong>ling system <strong>and</strong> reel does not clarify<br />

which option is more likely as only a single cable-wrapped reel can be seen.!
