The Anshan-class destroyers were the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) first destroyers. They were ex-Soviet {{sclass|Gnevny|destroyer|1}}s purchased in the 1950s. The Chinese later added HY-2 anti-ship missiles and removed some of the torpedo tubes, and redesignated as Type 6607. All four ships of the class had been stricken by 1992.{{sfn|Gardiner|Chumbley|Budzbon|1995|p=60}}

Anshan class has a maximum speed of {{convert|32|kn|km/h}}, with range of {{convert|2,670|NM|km}} while cruising at {{convert|19|kn|km/h}} or {{convert|850|NM|km}} at {{convert|32|kn|km/h}}. The ships has a complement of 205 personnel, including 15 officers.{{sfn|Sharpe|1989|p=102}}

History
After 1949 the PLAN negotiated with Britain through Hong Kong to buy some second-hand ships and boats but unable to do so due to the Korean War. As a result, the PLAN turned to the Soviet Union to buy four worn-out destroyers. The purchase was made on 4 June 1953, with prices equivalent to 17 tons of gold each at the time.{{Cite web |url=http://www.zgjunshi.com/Article/Class38/Class49/Class50/200912/20091214103435.html |title=中国海军记忆：07型导弹驱逐舰 |access-date=2012-06-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120513093725/http://zgjunshi.com/Article/Class38/Class49/Class50/200912/20091214103435.html |archive-date=2012-05-13 |url-status=dead }}
The Anshan-class ships were withdrawn from active service by the 1990s, but retained three ships as training ship (Taiyuan) and museum ships (Anshan and Changchun). The PLAN retains ownership of the ships through PLAN funded institutions.{{cite web|url=http://knows.jongo.com/res/article/10332 |title=Anshan-class Destroyer - Jongo Knows - Encyclopedia of China |accessdate=2007-08-22 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011173814/http://knows.jongo.com/res/article/10332 |archivedate=2007-10-11 }}
