Chongqing (133) 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 Шаблон:Sclass, but the Sino-Soviet split stopped work. Work resumed in 1965[1] with nine ships being ordered.[2][1] Construction started in 1968, with trials beginning in 1971. The ships nominally entered service in the early 1970s, but few were fully operational before 1985; workmanship was poor due to the Cultural Revolution.[1]

Construction of the second batch began in 1977,[3] with the last commissioning in 1991.[4] The second batch may have been ordered due to the Cultural Revolution disrupting development of a successor class.[1] These ships may be designated Type 051D.[3] The PLAN initiated an abortive modernization program for the first batch in 1982. The ships would be reconstructed with British weapons and sensors acquired from British Aerospace. The Falklands War made the prospective upgrades less impressive and cost effective, and the project was cancelled in 1984. A 1986 upgrade project using American power plants, weapons, sensors, and computers was cancelled because of the US sanction from 1989 Tiananmen Square.

Construction and career

Chongqing was launched on 31 October 1980 at the Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai. Commissioned on 15 November 1982.

In 1985, she completed close maneuvers against Soviet Navy battlecruiser Frunze.

She was decommissioned on 26 September 2014 and currently she sits at Tianjin Binhai Theme Park, Tianjin opposite of the aircraft carrier Kiev.[5]
