Chinese destroyer Jinan, Naval museum ship in Qingdao, China.

Jinan is a Type 051 destroyer, the first of her class, displayed as a museum ship at the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Museum in Qingdao. The 132-meter hull retains its gun turrets and missile launchers, and the stern helicopter deck and hangar added in 1987 make it the only Type 051 fitted to carry two Z-9C helicopters.

Laid down on 24 December 1968 at the Dalian Shipyard, Jinan was launched on 30 July 1970 and commissioned on 31 December 1971 as the lead ship of the Type 051 class. It served 36 years, including as a test platform for over 2,200 equipment trials, and was decommissioned on 15 November 2007. In 2008 it was towed to the Qingdao Naval Museum.

The ship's name follows the PLAN practice of naming destroyers after Chinese cities; Jinan is the second warship to bear it. During 36 years of service it was used as a trials platform, completing over 2,200 equipment tests, and in 1979 Deng Xiaoping visited and wrote an inscription calling for a strong navy with modern combat capability.

Check ahead for opening times, as the naval base area is not always accessible to the public. The ship has multiple levels with steep ladders, so sturdy footwear is advisable.

The ship was named after a major inland city, following a long tradition in Chinese warships. This naming practice differs from Western navies, which often draw on rulers, heroes, or abstract terms.
