Nanjing (131) is a Type 051 destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy.

The PLAN began designing a warship armed with guided missiles in 1960 based on the Soviet Neustrashimy, with features from the Kotlin-class destroyer, but the Sino-Soviet split stopped work.

Work resumed in 1965[1] with nine ships being ordered.

[2][1] Nanjing was launched on 11 December 1973 at the Luda Shipyard in Shanghai.

She was decommissioned on 26 September 2012 and currently serves as a maritime surveillance ship at Huangpu river, Shanghai.
