That's because those are new ships, my dear Fat Pilot...if a new ship looks like it had been at sea drifting for 20 years then it's hopeless beyond all measures.

Since PLAN isn't fighting wars, so scrub, scrub, scrub.... clean, clean, clean.... paint, paint, paint...
Those decommissioned Jianghus are almost 30 years old, and looks... kinda new looking.

and here is a type 037 that's decommissioned as museum ships. pretty decent looking.
funny thing is, an crew member that served on that exact same boat was commenting on the post.

Thanks, it is alway nice to get information on retirements of Type 037 ships. I read it as saying that 627 RONGCHENG, built 1979, was decommissioned 26.10.12 and handed over to Linyi for display in February 2013.
71 Subchaser Squadron Changshandao, to which this HAINAN belonged, is expected to get 581, the second 056 from Liaonan Navy Yard, Lushun.

I actually don't know, but where should it be on this ship?

You'd see them in my picture collection I posted earlier, those 2 HMG mounts on the forward deck, aft of the main gun and just forward of the superstructure, one each at starboard and port,
