Reports indicate that China might soon launch two multi-role frigates, adding muscle to its new generation of aircraft carrier strike groups.

Several photos shared by internet users showed the hull of a Type 054B frigate – a bigger and faster version of the Type 054A now in service –being prepared to be rolled out from the dry dock of a shipyard.

Over half of the hull was visible, suggesting the ship would soon be launched into a nearby pool.

The Type 055 is the world’s second-most powerful destroyer after the US Navy’s DDG-1000, or Zumwalt class.

Armed with an integrated mast and powerful radar systems, it has been dubbed the “bodyguard” of Chinese aircraft carriers.

China plans to launch two Type 054B frigates by the end of this year.

Aside from the one under construction in Guangzhou, another is being built in Shanghai.
