The Chinese Navy has officially commissioned the stealth frigate Luohe during a high-profile military exercise in the Yellow Sea, capturing global attention with its sleek design and advanced capabilities.
Engineered with stealth as a priority, the Luohe features a refined superstructure, sloped surfaces, and a uniquely enclosed forward anchor—an unprecedented feature for a Chinese warship. The vessel is designed for multi-role operations, offering flexibility across a range of maritime missions.
Equipped with cutting-edge combat systems and stealth-enhancing architecture, the Luohe is expected to become a key asset in strategically sensitive waters, including the Yellow Sea, the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea.
Beyond its tactical role, the Luohe serves as a symbol of Beijing’s growing naval ambition. Its introduction underscores China’s emergence as a major maritime power, increasingly challenging the established order and reshaping the balance of power on the high seas.
