Evolution of China's coastal patrol boats/ship.

Before type 056 was introduced, the coastal patrol duties were given to type 55A gun boat, type 62A and type 037 sub-chaser in different times from 1950s to present. Each subsequent boat/ship was getting larger in size and range, until type 056A with displacement of about 1,500 tones and range of 3,500 nm at cruising speed.

(missiles boats are not mentioned because their main roles are attack/strike rather than routine coastal patrol)
