The unit price of Type 056 frigate is 1. 1.00 billion-1.200 million US dollars, about 700 million RMB (including weapons, excluding helicopters, this frigate can stop helicopters, but it has an inorganic garage).

The Type 056 built by China Navy is mainly used for offshore defense, undertaking daily patrol tasks and providing support to relevant maritime law enforcement departments, in order to replace the 053 series frigates and 037 series speedboats with long ship age, low tactical and technical indicators, backward weapons and equipment, and poor working and living environment for personnel, which are difficult to adapt to combat tasks in the new era.
