105 Jinan, a Type 051 DDG, the first class of DDGs to be designed, and built in China and fielded by the PLAN. Formerly with the North Sea Fleet, comissioned in 1971, refitted in 1987, retired in 2007, became a museum ship in 2008.
531 Yingtan, Class 053K Air Defense Frigate, Launched in 1971, Comissioned in 1975, Decomissioned in 1994 and became a museum ship afterwards.
101 Anshan, formerly Rekordny, one of 29 Gnevy-class destroyers built for the Soviet Navy. Laid down in 1936, transferred to the PLAN in 1955, reclassified as a missile destroyer in 1974, stricken from the PLAN register in 1986, became a museum ship in 1992.
53-219 Changjiang (Yangzte), a 荣誉/Honor class river gunboat, built by Kiangnan Dock and Engineering with their experience building the USS Guam (later USS Wake). Changjiang was formerly named the 民权号 (Civil Rights) under the KMT, being comissioned in 1930. She saw action during the Second Sino-Japanese war, with the Japanese forces bombing her multiple times.
The 民权号 was captured in 1949 after retreating to Chongqing when the Communists captured said city, and was put into service in the fledgling PLAN afterwards. She was then renamed into the Changjiang, and was given the pennant number of 227 in 1961. Changjiang was refitted in 1966, with her original armament of either:
In 1968, Changjiang was given her current pennant number of 53-219, and was retired from active service, becoming a museum ship.
Changzheng 1, the first Nuclear Submarine developed in China, commissioned in 1974. Seen here as the mueseum ship she is at the Qingdao PAL Navy Museum

Germany:
Aircraft from USS Block Island (CVE-21) press home an attack with rockets on the Type VIIC U-Boat U-758 on January 11th, 1944
Such brazen assaults show how dangerous it was for the Kriegsmarine to wager U-Boats in the open ocean this late in the war, though U-758 would survive and return to St. Nazaire nine days later. She would later be damaged beyond repair while in port at Kiel by US and British bombers in March of 1945. USS Block Island herself would actually be sunk by U-549 on May 29th, 1944 while carrying out a search and destroy mission in the Eastern Atlantic, though the submarine was herself sunk by Block Island's screen of destroyer escorts; USS Eugene E. Elmore and USS Ahrens.
