Nanjing (131) is a Type 051 destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy.

Development and design
The PLAN began designing a warship armed with guided missiles in 1960 based on the Soviet Neustrashimy, with features from the Kotlin-class destroyer, but the Sino-Soviet split stopped work. Work resumed in 1965 with nine ships being ordered.

Construction and career
Nanjing was launched on 11 December 1973 at the Luda Shipyard in Shanghai. Commissioned on 6 February 1977.

She was decommissioned on 26 September 2012 and currently serves as a maritime surveillance ship at Huangpu river, Shanghai.
