The Type 052 (NATO/OSD Luhu-class destroyer[3] is a class of destroyers developed in the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). The Type 052 was an intermediate between the obsolescent Type 051[4] and the modern Type 052B destroyers.[5][6] They were the first PLAN destroyers powered by gas turbines,[6] and the first PLAN ships with modern combat direction systems (CDS).[4] They were also part of the first generation of PLAN warships armed with surface-to-air missiles in the form of the short-range Crotale (called HQ-7 in Chinese service.)[7]
The Type 052 used subsystems imported from the United States and the European Union. The embargo after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre ended the supply of and support for those subsystems, limiting production to two ships[4] and likely affecting their operating efficiency due to system integration issues.[4] Afterward, China turned to Russia and Ukraine for technology.[8][5]
