Project history

Russian project 956E. A letter of intent to order the first pair was signed in 1997; the final contract for $667 million for the pair was signed next year. Hangzhou was handed over to Chinese control 24.2.1999; sea trials began in July and she arrived in China on 15.2.2000. Fuzhou conducted sea trials from June to August 2000 in the Baltic and was handed over on 25.11.2000. These are the incomplete 18th and 19th units of the class initially ordered for the Russian Navy. Although one had been launched, work on both had been suspended; the first was 65% complete when purchased and the other 35%. The ships are primarily intended for surface warfare tasks, including antiship, shore-bombardment, and AA defense; the minimal ASW capability is primarily for self-defense. Although this is by no means a state-of-the-art design (the ships were designed in the mid-1960s), they are vastly superior to anything else in Chinese service.
