The first ship was manufactured by Shanghai Hudong Shipyard. It was launched in 1963 and entered service at the end of December 1965. In 1970, this type of boat was fully localized, and Xijiang Shipyard also built the first boat in 1971. the

In the process of localization, Chinese technicians have also made many improvements to this type of boat, mainly including: the development of a steel mast that can be lowered, the missile loading frame is changed to a short frame, and the manual retraction and anchoring are changed to anchors. The chain drum is automatically headed and thrown, and the air-conditioning system is installed on the boats used in the south, and radio stations, reconnaissance radars, security machines and other equipment are added. In 1975, this type of boat was finalized, and mass production began, equipped with troops, and a total of more than 98 boats were produced.
