of this type have been built and entered PLAN service after 2000. Not all unit of this class had the same equipment as they were built, with some later units had additional mine-hunting equipment installed, which was back-fitted to earlier units, as well as it predecessor Type 082. Type 082I has received NATO reporting name Wosao II class. Type 082II mine countermeasure vessel Type 082II mine countermeasure vessel wth NATO reporting name Wozang-class is the modern development of the base Type 082. The first unit of the Type 082II-class, named Huoqiu on April 23, 2005, was launched in 2004 and entered Chinese service in June 2005 with pennant number 804. From the design to its completion, it took more than a decade and cost over 600 million Yuan Renminbi. The Chinese industrial and manufacturing capability are finally mature enough to produce minesweepers with components built of fiberglass and steel with low magnetic signature at an acceptable price, but the exact content is unknown due to lack of official governmental sources. Some Chinese internet websites claim that the superstructure is built with fiberglass and the hull was built with low magnetic signature steel, while others claim that the entire boat was built of fiberglass. The second unit with pennant number 818 named Kunshan, entered service in December 2011. Some Chinese internet sources have claimed that this second unit is an all fiberglass construction boat, while the first was fiberglass superstructure mounted on low magnetic signature steel hull, because it took about half a decade for Chinese shipyards to master all fiberglass construction for boats of this size, but as with other claims about this class, all have yet to be verified by official or governmental sources. Built by Qiuxin Shipyard at Shanghai, Type 082II mine countermeasure vesselis known in the West as the Wozang-class. Specifications: Length: 55 meter Beam: 9.3 meter Draft: 2.6 meter Displacement: 575 ton Armament: 1 twin 25 mm gun Type 529 minesweeper Type 082II mine countermeasure vessel can work independently, but it can also work as a mother ship for the small Type 529 minesweeper. Three units of this class have been observed, with pennant numbers 8181, 8182 and 8183 respectively, and they are observed usually with Type 082II-class Kunshan (818). Although designed to work mainly in conjunction with Type 082II, these boats can also work independently or with other larger mine countermeasure vessels in the PLAN.
