Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Chinese gunboat Ruijin（瑞金） in early 1950s.

Ruijin is a converted gunboat of PLAN. It's formerly a US Design 381 coastal freighter, but was requisitioned by PLA and converted to an armed merchant gunboat. It was very active in the early 1950s, participating most of the battles in the period. In 5/18/1954, Ruijin was bombed and sunk by ROCAF P-47 fighter bomber. In 1955, PLAN built a frigate inherited its name.

The photo was taken probably around 1952 by unknown PLAN photographer. However, although every source on the Internet claims it to be a photo of 'Ruijin', I personally think that it's actually a converted Design 330-D freighter in PLAN, such as gunboat 'Zhunyi', 'Huaiyang', 'Yancheng', or 'Handan'. I am still digging the exact source, keeping the name temporarily. One can compare the picture with The last moments of Ruijin and find that the position of the main mast is different.
中文（简体）：瑞金号原招商局船只江通号，改名瑞金号后，作为护航炮舰编入于华东军区海军第7舰队。参与了华东军区海军早期的多次行动，包括猫头洋海战、菜花岐海战，和东矶列岛海战。1954年5月18日（一说3月18日），被国军P-47战斗轰炸机击沉，是华东海军建军以来最严重的损失。请注意主桅杆的位置，和381型货船的照片以及瑞金号沉没时的照片对比后，可以发现这张照片很可能是330D型货船，即人民海军“遵义”、“淮阳”、“盐城”、或“邯郸”舰，而不是“瑞金”舰。具体出处仍待查，暂时保留此名。
