Type 062 class gunboat

The Type 062 class gunboat is the successor of the Shantou class gunboat, and it is also known as Shanghai-I/II classes. The class is larger than its predecessor and is the most widely built and exported Chinese military boat in terms of numbers. This unsophisticated class is relatively well armed for its size, and with patrol mission as main duty, supplemented by ASW missions.
