It is a nice gunboat

"Taining" gunboat was designed by Ye Zaifu, a famous designer of the Republic of China and chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipyard, and started construction on May 5, 1937. It is likely to be used as the working mother ship of "Jiangning" and "Weining" gunboats. In essence, the ship is an enlarged scale of Jiangning and Weining, and its name originates from Taining County, Fujian Province.
On July 7, 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, and the Taining was forced to stop working soon after it started construction. After the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, the unfinished hull of the ship was found in Jiangnan Shipyard, and its whereabouts are unknown. Because of its low degree of completion, it does not have the value of continuing construction, and may be demolished by the Japanese army. Parameters of gunboat
