Nanjing (155) is a Type 052D destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy.

At the same time, the helicopter hangar was moved from being on the left side of the hull to the center axis of the ship.

A pair of small boat storage compartments were added on both sides of the hangar, similar to the design on the Type 054A frigate.

The Type 52D is the first Chinese surface combatant to use canister-based universal VLS, as opposed to the concentric type VLS carried onboard earlier vessels.

[5][6] Nanjing was the eighth ship of the class and launched on 28 December 2015 at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai.
