CNS Yana (106) is a guided-missile destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China. She belongs to the Type 055 class and is recognized by NATO under the "Renhai" name. The 13,000-ton warship was commissioned in 2022 and currently (2023) serves the South Sea Fleet.
The Type 055-class is a planned 16-strong group of guided-missile warships. Construction of the lot began in 2014 and is ongoing with commissioned service having begun in 2020. Eight hulls have been completed as of this writing.
Dimensionally, the ships have a running length of 590.6 feet with a beam of 65.6 feet, and a draught of 21.7 feet. Power is in the COGAG (COmbined Gas-And-Gas) arrangement encompassing 6 x QD-50 turbine generators of 6,700 horsepower each with 4 x QC-280 gas turbines of 38,000 horsepower each driving 2 x Shafts astern. Total horsepower of the gas turbine arrangement exceeds 150,000 output giving the warships an ocean-going speed of 30 knots out to a range of 5,000 nautical miles.
Aboard is a complement of 300 and the hull is outfitted with the Type 346B Dragon Eye C/S-band radar system and X-band radar. A complete Electronic Warfare (EW) system is integrated into the design. Over the rear of the hull is supported one or two medium-lift helicopter types for Over-the-Horizon (OtH) work including Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), at-sea resupply, and Search and Rescue (SAR).
Armament includes a 130mm H/PJ-38 series turreted deck gun, 1 x 112 Vertical Launching System (VLS) cells, 1 x 24-cell HQ-10 Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) launcher, 1 x 30mm H/P J-11 Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), and 2 x 324mm triple-torpedo tubes. The VLS supports SAM, anti-ship, and land-attack missiles. The broad spectrum of armament options gives the warships a multi-mission capability and allows them to operate independently or as part of the main fighting force.
The profile of these ships is consistent with modern destroyer design. The seats the single turreted deck gun ahead of the VLS with the bridge section just aft. The main mast is enclosed and integrated to the bridge section's superstructure. The smoke funnels are then integrated to the superstructure as well and are of a low-profile enclosed design. The hull superstructure steps down aft of midships before the raised hangar area. The hanger leads directly out to the helipad which is set over the stern.
