		Ma’anshan class (Type 054) is the multirole missile frigate for the PLA Navy to succeed the Jiangwei class frigate.
		As a cost-efficient frigate, the weapon systems and sensors onboard the Type 054 are less sophisticated comparing to the newly launched Type 052B/C destroyers, but its general performance and capability are much superior to the previous Chinese-built frigates such as the Jiangwei and Jianghu class.
