PLA(N):
Former IJN ocean escort in service as the PLA(N) frigate Nanning

English wiki (and other English sources) say she was the Type C escort CD-7. Chinese and Japanese wiki however say she was the Etorofu-class escort Manju.

She served as the flagship of the PLAN's South Sea Fleet, and was eventually decommissioned in 1979. Surprisingly, not even the last ex-IJN vessel to be decommissioned by the PLAN.
