The Type 051B Luhai-class is a class of destroyer built by the People's Republic of China. It consists of only one ship, No.167 Shenzhen. When Shenzhen was commissioned into the People's Liberation Army Navy in 1999, it was the largest surface combatant that China had ever built. It resembles in many ways an enlarged version of the Luhu class destroyer, although it is also the first Chinese ship design to incorporate stealth features in the hull design.

The Type 051B (NATO codename: Luhaiclass) is the multirole missile destroyer built by Dalian Shipyard for the PLA Navy.
When the destroyer under construction at Dalian was first revealed by Japanese journalists in 1998, it caught great attention in that it represented a significant improvement in the PLA Navy’s surface fleet.
The Type 051B destroyer is the first Chinese indigenous warship to have been incorporated with radar cross-section reduction features, including a streamlined hull with slightly sloped sides and superstructure, two solid masts with fewer protruding electronic sensor arrays, ‘cleaner’ deck with less weapon systems piled together, and two funnels with infrared signatures reduction devices.
