Nanjing (131) is a Type 051 destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy.
Development and design
The PLAN began designing a warship armed with guided missiles in 1960 based on the Soviet Neustrashimy, with features from the Kotlin-class destroyer, but the Sino-Soviet split stopped work. Work resumed in 1965[1] with nine ships being ordered.[2][1]
Construction and career
Nanjing was launched on 11 December 1973 at the Luda Shipyard in Shanghai. Commissioned on 6 February 1977.
She was decommissioned on 26 September 2012 and currently serves as a maritime surveillance ship at Huangpu river, Shanghai.[3][4]
