The Anshan-class destroyers were the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) first destroyers. They were ex-Soviet Gnevny-class destroyers purchased in the 1950s. The Chinese later added HY-2 anti-ship missiles and removed some of the torpedo tubes.
The Anshan's were withdrawn from active service by the 1990s, but retained as training and museum ships. The PLAN retains ownership through PLAN funded institutions.[1]
