Yulin (569) is a Type 054A frigate of the People's Liberation Army Navy. She was commissioned on 1 February 2010.

Development and design

[edit]
Main article: Type 054A frigate

The Type 054A carries HQ-16 medium-range air defence missiles and anti-submarine missiles in a vertical launching system (VLS) system. The HQ-16 has a range of up to 50 km, with superior range and engagement angles to the Type 054's HQ-7. The Type 054A's VLS uses a hot launch method; a shared common exhaust system is sited between the two rows of rectangular launching tubes.[1]

The four AK-630 close-in weapon systems (CIWS) of the Type 054 were replaced with two Type 730 CIWS on the Type 054A. The autonomous Type 730 provides improved reaction time against close-in threats.[2]

Construction and career

[edit]

Yulin was launched on 28 April 2009 at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai. Commissioned on 1 February 2010.

Yulin along with Hengyang and Honghu made a goodwill visit to Auckland, New Zealand in June 2017.[3]

2017 Piracy Attack on OS35

[edit]

The Yulin was instrumental in resolving the 2017 piracy attack on the bulk carrier OS35 off the coast of Somalia.[4]
