The Type-062 or Shanghai-II-class was originally designed as a coastal anti-submarine-warfare patrol craft and was widely built and exported. Only 39 metres long, it displaced 135 tonnes, and had a crew of 36. Powered by two 1,200hp (679kW) diesel engines, it could reach speeds of 28.5 knots, and was armed with two twin 37mm Type 61 automatic guns (larger turrets) and two Type-61 25mm guns (smaller turret). Through the 1990–95 period, the SLN operated a total of 10 vessels of this class, named Jagatha, Ranakamee, Rakshaka, Sooraya, Weeraya, Dakshava, Balwatha, Jagatha, Ranasuru, Ranawiru and Ranarisi – all of which were assigned to the 3rd Fast Gun-Boat Squadron.
