| Source measurement | — | The Type 062 gunboat (also known as Shanghai class) is a class of gunboat of the People's Liberation Army Navy first developed and constructed in the 1950s. This unsophisticated class is relatively well-armed for its size and is the most widely built and exported Chinese naval vessel in terms of numbers. A total of 30 were built, initial boats being known as the Shanghai I class and later slightly improved boats being known as the Shanghai II class. The Shanghai I class was slightly smaller than its successor, the Shanghai II class, displacing 125 tons instead of 135 tons, and had a twin Chinese Type 66 57 mm gun mount forward. All other specifications are identical to the Shanghai II class, which replaced the 57 mm with twin 37 mm gun mounts. Some boats remained in active service well into the early 1990s in the PLA navy and longer in the case of the Korean People's Navy .[source]Type 062 gunboat · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Type 062 gunboat is a result of several competing/developmental designs, all in response of PLAN's request of a new 100 ton gunboats, first of which was Type 0108 gunboat that was based on PLANS Sea Whale (Hai Jing, 海鲸) , an E-boat that was ex- ROCS No 101.

Several prototypes are built by different shipyards. They were the Type 0105 from Luda (3), the Type 0108 from Qingdao (1), the Type 0109 from Shanghai (10), and the Type 0110 from Guangzhou (3). Displacement of the prototypes varied from 100 to 150 t , speed varied from 28–30 knots (52–56 km/h; 32–35 mph), with different weapon arrangements including 57IIx1, 37IIx1, 14.5IIx2 or 37IIx2,14.5IIx2. In 1960, a hybrid of all the prototypes, Type 0111 was laid down at Dalian shipyard, Luda. Full production variants became known as the Type 062.[source]Type 062 gunboat · Type 062 gunboat; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage A total of 30 were built, initial boats being known as the Shanghai I class and later slightly improved boats being known as the Shanghai II class.

So the smaller L-12D-6 diesel engine was introduced. The new engine was more fuel efficient and had a longer life, but rated only 910 horsepower (680 kW), resulting in a maximum speed of only 28.5 knots (52.8 km/h; 32.8 mph). The low speed disappointed PLAN and was one of the reasons construction ended at 30 boats.[source]Type 062 gunboat · Type 062 gunboat; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage East Timor Timor Leste Defence Force : Type 062 ships were built under license in Roumania between 1972 and 1989 . The project was adapted by roumanian naval engineers for use in the rough conditions of the Black Sea.There were four variants of the type 062 in the Roumanian Navy: coast guard ship (deleted in 2014), submarine hunters (deleted in the 1990s), a variant for civil use and two vessels for divers (in active service).[source]Type 062 gunboat · Type 062 gunboat / Exports; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Type 062I-class gunboat (NATO: Shanghai III class), is the successor of the original Type 062 Shanghai I & II-class gunboats of the People's Liberation Army Navy. The Shanghai III-class gunboat is more heavily armed than its predecessor, with the 23 mm guns replacing the 14.5 mm heavy machine guns and is also substantially larger at 170 tons. Significantly more Shanghai III-class gunboats have entered service in foreign navies than in the People's Liberation Army Navy, and the ones in the Chinese inventory are mainly used for training foreign crews, and not all export boats have the same configuration due to different customers' requirements. They are primarily used for coastal and inland patrol.[source]Type 062 gunboat · Type 062I-class gunboat; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
