Yanding-class transport explained
Yanding-class transport (AP) is the first transport built in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for the
People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). A total of 4 ships were completed by
Wuchang Shipyard, and all of them were based on
fishing trawlers.

East Sea Fleet, and although its successor
Danlin-class cargo ship has entered service in the early 1960s, Yanding class ships remained in service until they were finally retired by 1989.
