The Hashidate-class gunboat was a class of two Imperial Japanese Navy gunboats which served during World War II. The class consisted of two vessels, Hashidate and Uji. During World War II the number of their AA guns was increased and they were also equipped with depth charges.

Uji was transferred to the Republic of China in 1947 and renamed Chang Chi. Two years later she was captured by the People's Republic of China during the Chinese Civil War and renamed Nan Chang. The ship was stricken from the People's Liberation Army Navy in 1986. ^[1]
