The Type 052B (NATO/OSD Luyang I-class destroyer[5]) is a class of guided-missile destroyers in the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force (PLAN).

The Type 052B was China's first modern destroyer design[6][7] and the first Chinese design to incorporate true medium-range air defence capability in the form of Russian Shtil-1 (improved navalized Buk, NATO designation SA-N-12) surface-to-air missiles (SAM).

[8] Two ships - Guangzhou and Wuhan - were begun in 2001 and commissioned in July and December 2004 respectively.

[12] The Type 052B's air defence capabilities were obsolete upon entering service when compared to contemporary American and Japanese designs.

[6][13] The hull is based on the Type 051B destroyer with added stealth features.
