Type 051 Luda-class Destroyer
From Canadian Power Wiki
The Type 051 destroyer (NATO code name Luda-class) Guided missile destroyer was the first modern surface warfare oriented vessel ever designed and built in China, and the first Chinese ship to be fitted with an integrated combat direction system. It was usually considered to be based on the Soviet Kotlin-class destroyer design though some other sources say the Neustrashimy-class destroyer, with some features from the Kotlin-class.
Seventeen ships of the Luda-class were built. Of those seventeen ships, one suffered an explosion and sank, one is being used as a target ship, two are being used as training ships, five have become museum ships, two are laid up awaiting disposal, and six are currently active.
