Rekordny was one of 29 Gnevny-class destroyers (officially known as Project 7) built for the Soviet Navy during the late 1930s. Completed in 1941, she was assigned to the Pacific Fleet. In 1954, Rekordny was sold to China and commissioned into the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) the following year as the Anshan (Chinese: 鞍山舰; pinyin: Ānshān Jiàn). She was decommissioned in April 1992 and anchored at the Naval Museum at Qingdao.
