Jiangnan Shipyard
"Nanchang", the first ship of the class, began construction in 2014 at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, and was commissioned on 12 January 2020. Its first public appearance - preceding commissioning - was during the PLAN's 70th anniversary parade on 23 April 2019. When launched, "Nanchang" was among the largest post-Second World War warships launched in East Asia.
