Since the first 022 missile boat entered service in 2004, the Chinese navy has built more than 60 missile boats of this type in just a few years. Since the number of main destroyers and frigates in our country was scarce at that time, the 022 missile boat took on the important task of anti-aircraft carrier.
After 2010, a large number of large ships including 054A, 052D, and 055 were built and put into service. These large ships not only have more anti-ship capabilities than 022 missile boats, but also have strong air defense and anti-submarine combat capabilities and comprehensive combat capabilities. The 022 stealth missile boat has been sealed or used for other purposes,
