According to the naming regulations of the Chinese Navy, the provincial capital city is usually named after the destroyer type 1 destroyer, Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital of Hebei Province. The prefecture-level cities are usually named for the frigates. In Hebei, the warships named after the two prefecture-level cities of Handan and Hengshui are the Type 054A guided missile frigates. Baoding and Qinhuangdao are named for the Type 056 frigate, and Cangzhou is named for the 053H2 frigate. It is worth mentioning that Dingzhou City, a county-level city in Hebei, was named the Class 056 frigate, becoming the second frigate of the Chinese Navy named after a county-level city.
There are only a few prefecture-level cities that can be named destroyers, and the Tangshan ship is such a small number. Z4z
Tangshan ship No. 122, is the fifteenth 052D destroyer launched, and the second 052D extended version. It officially entered the North Sea Fleet on August 14, 2020. Compared with the basic model, the extended version of the 052D stern flight deck is extended by 3-4 meters, which can take off and land longer Z-20 carrier-based helicopters. In addition, the radar is replaced by a long-range warning radar with a new meter wave radar. The full load of water has also been increased to 7,200 tons. The cost of the 052D destroyer is about 5 billion yuan.

Tangshan 052DL has a cross-generational advantage compared to the previous platform Shijiazhuang 051C. First, the 051C-class guided missile destroyer still uses a relatively inefficient steam turbine power unit, while the 052D uses a diesel-fueled alternative. Secondly, the huge S-300F ship-based air defense missile on the 051C-class guided missile destroyer was originally used by the Russian Navy for 10,000-ton cruisers. The equipment on the 051C had to occupy a valuable helicopter warehouse, which not only led to anti-submarine capabilities. Descending, and without a hangar, there will be no helicopter surface system that prevents 051C from cruising the Gulf of Aden. Finally, the gap in radar makes the 052D's air defense capability far exceed 051C

Finally, let’s take a look at the Type 056 frigate Qinhuangdao ship, Type 056 frigate The displacement is about 1,300 tons and the cost is about 700 million yuan.

Tangshan is currently the most advanced warship with the highest cost and the largest volume among the warships named after cities in Hebei Province. It is also the only destroyer named after the non-capital city of Hebei Province. It can be reflected from the side. The location of Tangshan City in Hebei Province. I am proud of my hometown.
