Rumour has it that the warship is being built in the Jiangnan Shipyard.ĭr. Funaiole told MailOnline: 'There is a lot of interested in the PLAN's modernisation, especially with regard to the pace at which China is producing modern, capable warships.'Ĭhina's state-run Xinhua News Agency last month reported that Beijing was building its third aircraft carrier, marking the first official Chinese media confirmation of the warship's construction. Matthew Funaiole said he and his colleagues decided to analyse the Jiangnan Shipyard to find out its importance to the modernisation of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).ĭr. Icebreaker Xue Long 2 prepares to take water in the Jiangnan Shipyard on September 10ĬSIS expert Dr. Media reports from last year claimed that the Chinese military was mass-producing the vessels in the Jiangnan Shipyard. Seven to 10 Type 726A air-cushioned landing crafts were also found to be moored at the shipyard throughout the year. The ship is China's second polar research vessel and puts Beijing on par with Washington in terms of operational icebreakers. Xue Long 2, China's first self-developed icebreaker, was launched from the Jiangnan Shipyard in September. Other vessels observed include icebreaker Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, and its upgraded version Xue Long 2. As of August, 14 of them had been launched and the rest are being built, it is reported. A military report from China's last week suggested Beijing aimed to have a total of 24 of those vessels. Type 052D, a class of guided-missile destroyer, has been described as the 'backbone' and 'workhorse' of the Chinese navy. Up to five Type 052D destroyers have been spotted on the satellite images of the shipyard this year, according to the study.
