Nanjun 610 class dredger is a class of little known naval auxiliary ship currently in service with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).[1] The name of this class is after the first unit commissioned, with the exact type still remains unknown, and a total of two of this class have been confirmed in active service as of mid-2010s.[1]
Nanjun 610 class series ships in PLAN service are designated by a combination of two Chinese characters followed by three-digit number. The second Chinese character is Jun (浚), meaning dredge in Chinese, because these ships are classified as dredgers. The first Chinese character denotes which fleet the ship is service with, with East (Dong, 东) for East Sea Fleet, North (Bei, 北) for North Sea Fleet, and South (Nan, 南) for South Sea Fleet. However, the pennant numbers may have changed due to the change of Chinese naval ships naming convention.
| Class | Pennant # | Status | Fleet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nanjun 610 class | Nan-Jun 610 | Active | South Sea Fleet |
| Nanjun 611 class | Nan-Jun 611 | Active | South Sea Fleet |
