Type 053H3 frigate

The Type 053H3 (NATO reporting name: Jiangwei II) is a class of Chinese frigates that entered service with the People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force in the 1990s and 2000s.

The class comprised ten vessels, all of which remain in active service except for two which have been sold to the Bangladesh Navy.

The earliest two units, Jiaxing and Lianyungang, were selected in 2020 for sale to Bangladesh.

Both ships were recommissioned in the Bangladesh Navy on 5 November 2020 and renamed as shown below.
