Yancheng (546) is a Type 054A frigate of the People's Liberation Army Navy.

The Type 054A carries HQ-16 medium-range air defence missiles and anti-submarine missiles in a vertical launching system (VLS) system.

The Type 054A's VLS uses a hot launch method; a shared common exhaust system is sited between the two rows of rectangular launching tubes.

The autonomous Type 730 provides improved reaction time against close-in threats.

Yancheng participated with Russian battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy and western vessels in the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons.
