Dongdiao-class Electronic Reconnaissance Ship (AGI)
There are some non-trivial differences in specifications from various sources. It is not clear whether these reflect imprecision in reporting [eg, length overall versus waterline, etc], differences between Type 815 and Type 815A [suggesting the later is rather larger], or simple uncertainty concerning a new class of ships from a publicity shy navy.
