The Jiangwei class is a class of Chinese frigates . They got their NATO code name after the Chinese general Jiang Wei , who lived during the Qing Dynasty . The Chinese name is type 053H2G (Jiangwei-I) or type 053H3 (Jiangwei-II).
history
The construction of the Jiangwei class ships began in 1988. With these frigates, China tried to keep up with modern shipbuilding. The Jiangwei class complemented the older Jianghu class ships . It was important to the Chinese developers that the frigates could perform several tasks. In addition to the classic task of anti-submarine defense, the Jiangwei class was also supposed to take on air surveillance and combat surface units. As with most modern frigates, the main armament here is missiles. In spite of everything, a relatively strong artillery armament was built up. After two years of construction, the first ship was put into service in 1990. The last ship so far followed in 2004.
The Pakistani Navy receives four units of the Jiangwei II variant as the F22P Sword class . The first three ships will be built by Hudong Zhonghua in Shanghai , China, and the last by Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works in Karachi , Pakistan.
technology
In general, the Jiangwei class is a classic frigate. In contrast to American or Russian frigates, the modular construction was not used. Increases in combat value could be a little more difficult in the future than with the competitors.
drive

The Jiangwei-class ships are powered by a CODAD system in which two MTU diesel engines with 8,840 hp each drive the two variable-pitch propellers for cruising up to 15 knots via two gearboxes. To achieve the maximum speed of 26 knots, two 18E390VA diesel engines with 14,000 HP each are switched on. At cruising speed the range is 5000 nautical miles.
electronics
The frigates were equipped to take on extensive surveillance tasks. For the anti-submarine are active and passive sonars available. A type 517H1 radar monitors the airspace. A type 360 radar is responsible for monitoring the surface. Two devices are used for the fire control of the guns: Type 343 is the fire control radar for the 100 mm guns , the Type 347 for the 37 mm anti- aircraft guns . The Type 342 system is used to control the missiles .
Armament
As already described, the main armament of the frigates is missile armament. To combat surface targets, the YJ-8 missiles are used in two triple launchers and the YJ-83 in two quadruple launchers. For air defense, the HQ-61B missiles are used in a six -way launcher and HQ-7 in an eight -way launcher . A depth-charge mortar was installed directly in front of the main gun for anti-submarine defense. In addition to conventional torpedoes , the four 324 mm torpedo tubes also fire rocket torpedoes for anti-submarine defense. The artillery consists of two 100 mm guns in a twin turret at the bow. Eight 37 mm anti-aircraft guns at the bow and stern in twin turrets complete the anti-aircraft armament. There is also a platform at the stern and the hangar for a Harbin Z9A helicopter, also for anti- submarine defense.
