Type 927 acoustic surveillance ship is a type of vessel used by the People’s Liberation Army Navy. There are three known Type 927 ships, [1] plus one predecessor Ruili No.10, which is slightly larger than Type 927 ships, and it was used to test onboard systems such as sonars for the three Type 927 ships. [2] The first Type 927 ship was launched around June 2017 in Guangzhou. [3] [4] Type 927 has received NATO reporting name Dongjian class, [5] [6] [7] 东监 in Chinese, meaning East Surveillance, because the West first observed it performing acoustic surveillance missions in East China Sea.
Type 927 vessels are twin-hulled, with a displacement of approximately 5,000 tonnes. [1] The ships are 90 meters long and have a beam of 30 meters. [3]
The first photos of a Type 927 under construction surfaced in 2017. [8] Two Type 927s were constructed in Huangpu District, Guangzhou, and the third was constructed at the Wuchang Shuangliu shipyard in Wuhan. [1]
As of end of 2021,there are a total of four ships, including the predecessor unit:
