The Type 052 used subsystems imported from the United States and the European Union. The embargo after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre ended the supply of and support for those subsystems, limiting production to two ships[4] and likely affecting their operating efficiency due to system integration issues.[4] Afterward, China turned to Russia and Ukraine for technology.[8][5]
The Type 052 was the first PLAN warship where the CDS was designed before the ship.[4] The CDS, possible the ZKJ-6 based on the Italian IPN-10 or IPN-20,[9] began development in 1983 and underwent land-based testing in December 1986.[4] Two ships were ordered in 1985, but delayed by export orders to Thailand. The first, Harbin, was laid down in November 1990 and commissioned in July 1994. Qingdao was commissioned in March 1996.[1]
In 2003, Harbin was refitted with a low radar profile 100mm gun turret in 2003; Qingdao followed in 2005.[1]
A major refit began in 2010 for Harbin and Qingdao in 2011 which included changes to sensors and weapons, gas turbine replacement, and some hull work.[1]
DesignEdit
MachineryEdit
The ships were completed with different gas turbines due to the embargo; Harbin with two General Electric LM2500s from the United States, and Qingdao with two Zorya-Mashproekt DA80s from Ukraine.[2]
SensorsEdit
The original sensors included the Type 518 air search radar, the Type 362 search radar,[10] and the French[11] DUBV-43 variable depth sonar.[10] These were replaced during the 2010 refit with the Type 517 radar, the Type 362 radar, and a linear towed array sonar respectively.[1]
WeaponsEdit
The ships are armed with an octuple HQ-7/Crotale launcher, and a total of 32 missiles.[1] France agreed to sell the missile systems in 1986, and they were delivered after October 1990.[12]
The CDS installed on the Type 052 is unclear.[4][13] One ship may have received the Thomson-CSF TAVITAC; the PRC bought two TAVITACs from France in the 1980s.[14] The TAVITAC may be known as, or modified into, the ZKJ-5 CDS in PRC service.[9] The other ship may have received the ZKJ-6.[13][9]
The quarterdecks were built open, and enclosed during the 2010 refit.[1]
The ships may have had severe survivability issues like earlier PLAN warships. Observations by foreign visitors to Harbin in March 1997 suggested limited damage control capability and crew safety features.[4]
Operational historyEdit
Qingdao participated in the PLAN's first cruise to circumnavigate Earth in 2002. German technicians were flown in to repair its diesel engines during the cruise.[11]
