Public summary
The Jiangnan Type 065 class is an early legacy Chinese frigate design associated with coastal escort and patrol duties. Its combat value is modest by modern standards, but it illustrates the older surface force that later missile-frigate generations replaced. Any current comparison should treat it as a historical or very low-end combatant rather than a modern escort.
