131 Nanjing Ship

The 131 Nanjing Ship is a warship with the theme of my country's first generation of self-designed Type 051 missile destroyers. It provides tourists with a new platform to experience the national defense power and learn about military revolution at close range. The 131 Nanjing Ship has witnessed the rise and development of my country's navy. The ship was commissioned into the Navy's East China Sea Fleet in February 1977 and was also the first domestically produced first-generation missile destroyer of the East China Sea Fleet at that time. In September 2012, the 131 Nanjing Ship held a solemn retirement ceremony, ending its glorious service career. During its more than 30 years of service, it sailed a total of 450,000 nautical miles and successfully completed more than 20 major combat readiness and military exercise tasks. At the same time, it has also received more than 40 heads of state and dignitaries, and is known as the "diplomatic star ship."
