Construction edit
Construction of the Sin Hung class was first noticed in early 1984, when six Sin Hung hulls were seen being built without torpedo tubes or sponsons. A total of eight were seen to be built, all at the Nampo Shipyard. Two of these were sold to Nicaragua in late May of the same year.[1]
