History:
Spoiler
The Shershen-class torpedo boats were originally developed by the Soviet Union in 1962-63. 16 units were transferred to the Vietnamese Navy between 1979-83 and were given unit numbers 301~316.
Most units were decommissioned around 2015~16, and 313-315 and 4 un-known unit were transferred to the Coast Guard after being modified to remove AK-230 and carry 2M-3. At least 4 units (HQ-305, 306, 311, and 312) are currently in service with the 170th Brigade.
Converted to Coast Guard,CSB5012 (HQ-314)Now I would like to introduce the HQ-311 unit. The timing is unknown, but this unit was modified by the Vietnamese Navy to remove the AK-230 and install the well-known 2M-3 equipped on Pr.183 etc. in its place, and the same modifications were made to the HQ-312. The other parts are the original Shershen-class.
The reason for the modification is unknown, but the main reason is thought to be the advantage of being simple and inexpensive to maintain, in addition to the many other ships in the Vietnamese Navy that are equipped with the 2M-3.As mentioned above, HQ-311 is still in service and is operated by the Quang Ninh-based 170th Brigade, and in March of this year, HQ-311 participated in the 170th Brigade’s training commencement ceremony along with other Shershen-class ships, and several videos of HQ-311 are available on Youtube by Vietnamese local media, and you can see the valuable images of HQ-311 still in service.
