Public summary
The Dongdiao II Type 815A/815G class is a PLAN electronic-surveillance and intelligence-collection ship family. Its role is to monitor exercises, missile tests, communications and naval activity, supporting strategic awareness rather than direct combat. These ships are especially visible during regional exercises and major deployments because intelligence collection is a key part of maritime competition.
