卫星图像显示，中国制造的056型系列护卫舰已出现在柬埔寨云壤海军基地。分析认为，这艘可能属于柬埔寨海军的新型强化版056A型舰艇，其舰体比中国海军自用版的056A长约5米。画面中显示的“挂满旗”装饰表明，该基地近期可能举行了正式的交付或服役仪式。
根据图像分析，抵达云壤基地的护卫舰估算全长约95米，而标准的056及056A型护卫舰通常报告长度在88至90米之间。这使得柬埔寨的这艘舰艇成为目前已知的该系列中最大的变体之一，尺寸上与尼日利亚装备的“百周年”级护卫舰相当，仅次于阿尔及利亚装备的变体舰。
相比之下，中国海军所有的056系列舰艇以及孟加拉国装备的出口版本，均符合标准的“江岛”级尺寸。历史卫星数据表明，该舰很可能于4月4日抵达。4月8日的图像显示其上层建筑挂起了传统的信号旗序列，这通常与委任入役、移交或其他正式海军礼仪活动有关。此外，卫星分析还初步确定了该舰的武器配置与任务模块，这标志着柬埔寨海军在执行长时间海上巡逻及联合作战任务方面的能力得到了实质性增强。

Recent satellite imagery suggests that the Chinese-built Type 056 corvette recently delivered to Cambodia is among the largest variants of the series observed to date, a development likely to enhance the Royal Cambodian Navy's ability to conduct extended maritime patrols and other naval operations.
Imagery analysis indicates that the newly arrived corvette at Ream Naval Base has an estimated hull length of around 95 m. This is about 5 m longer than the standard Type 056 and Type 056A variants, which are typically reported as measuring between 88–90 m.
This would make the Cambodian vessel one of the largest Type 056‑series ships identified, exceeded only by the sole Chinese‑built Type 056-derived El Moutassadi-class ship operated by Algeria, and on par with the Centenary-class frigate operated by Nigeria.
By contrast, all People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) Type 056 and Type 056A corvettes, as well as the export variants operated by Bangladesh, conform to standard hull dimensions associated with the Jiangdao class.
Historical satellite imagery indicates that the Cambodian vessel likely arrived at Ream Naval Base on 4 April.
Imagery from 8 April shows the ship displaying ‘dressing lines' along its superstructure, a traditional signal-flag arrangement associated with commissioning, handover or other formal naval events.
The presence of these dressing lines strongly supports the assessment that this vessel is being inducted into Cambodian service rather than one of the two Type 056A corvettes that have been observed at Ream since 2023.
Satellite imagery also enables an assessment of the vessel's probable weapons and mission fit.
