Type 052 Luhu-class Destroyer

The Type 052 Luhu-class was one of the first modern multi-role guided missile destroyers built by China. There are currently two units in active service with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) with no plans of further construction of additional units. Instead these will be followed by the stealthier Type 052D-class.
