El Type 052B, también denominado destructor clase Luyang I o clase Guangzhou, es una clase de dos destructores lanzamisiles de la Armada del Ejército Popular de Liberación construida por Jiangnan Shipyard. Su sistema de combate combina lanzadores rusos de defensa aérea de área Shtil-1/SA-N-12 con misiles antibuque YJ-83, cañones de defensa cercana Type 730, tubos lanzatorpedos y un hangar para helicóptero, y ambos buques aparecieron posteriormente en despliegues chinos de escolta contra la piratería en el golfo de Aden.

Public sources describe it as the PLAN's first class to combine a fixed AESA radar, vertically launched HHQ-9 missiles, YJ-62 anti-ship missiles, and a helicopter facility; direct conflict coverage now includes Gulf of Aden escort deployments, a 2018 South China Sea FONOP encounter, and August 2022 Taiwan Strait crisis exercises.

The class pairs Type 346-series phased-array radar with a 64-cell vertical launch system, and later Type 052DL ships stretch the stern aviation area for a larger helicopter while production continues from Jiangnan and Dalian yards.

Public sources identify Ma'anshan and Wenzhou as 2005-commissioned ships with YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, HQ-7 point air defense, AK-630 close-in guns, light torpedo tubes, and helicopter facilities; both hulls are documented in Chinese counter-piracy escort deployments in the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters.

Open naval references describe ten ships produced from 1996 to 2005, a CODAD machinery plant, YJ-83 or export anti-ship missiles, HHQ-7 short-range air defense, anti-piracy escort deployments off Somalia, South China Sea shadowing activity, Taiwan Strait presence, and later transfer of two ex-PLAN hulls into Bangladesh Navy service.

Open-source references describe it as a two-ship class based on the earlier Type 051B hull and fitted with Russian S-300FM surface-to-air missiles, Type 730 close-in weapons systems, and a steam-turbine propulsion plant.

Hangzhou and Fuzhou were Project 956E ships centered on Moskit anti-ship missiles and Shtil air defense, while Taizhou and Ningbo were improved Project 956EM ships with revised combat systems, Kashtan close-in defenses, longer-range Moskit missiles, and one fewer 130 mm gun. Later Chinese refit reporting describes domestic sensors, vertical-launch HQ-16-family air defense, and YJ-12 anti-ship missiles replacing the original Russian systems on at least the first 956E pair.

Later batches and export derivatives kept the same basic escort concept while changing sensors, close-in defenses, aviation support, and customer-specific weapons.
