So /k/ I just flew to Shanghai and out of my hotelroom window I see this bad boy docked.
Any idea what kind of ship it is?
Looks like a warship
looks like a boat if you ask me

Luda class destroyer. Really old.
>>31729737
Type 051 destroyer
>>31729737
Big old floating turd

This.
Six Lada class destroyers is still in use by the People's Liberation Army Navy.

Thanks m8

Yeah those are river barges, they carry all sorts of junk up and down stream.
>no pennant number
Next one for decommissioning?
Most unupgraded Luda still using the Silkworm missiles are already decommissioned.
The upgraded Luda-class with sixteen C-803 are still in use.

I wonder if they'd sell it to me.
Pirates of the Yangtse-river.

Replace the HHQ-7 SAM with a HHQ-10 RAM, and the two 37mm AAAs with Type 730 CIWS, and these Luda-Vs are still good to go.

It's a floaty thing with the masts that go up.

why haven't those been banned yet?
Common sense international maritime laws fucking when

Looks like a fletcher class destroyer updated with missiles.
It's not though, definitely looks chinese.
The Luda is pretty much what you get when taking a WWII DD, remove their rotating mid-ship torpedo-launchers and replace them with rotating SSM launchers.
Why does it look so dirty? I feel like you could turn on a vacuum, hold it up in the air and the filter would be solid black in 2 minutes.

Shanghai actually isnt that polluted, since it is on the coast. More like mist.
If it was Beijing or any bigger Indian city on the other hand...
