Houdong class Fast Attack Craft (Missile)

Houdong class missile boat is the newest upgrade of the Type 021 class missile boat. The new boat is modified to carry C-801/802/803 while retained the hull of the original Type 021. Although the design was successful, more capable missile boats such as the Houxing class missile boats were already becoming available, so the Houdong class was geared for export, with Iran being the first customer and the one in Chinese inventory is used as training for foreign crews, and as demonstrator to other potential customers, as well as other test and trial purposes.
