Shenzhen (167) is a Type 051B destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy. She was commissioned in February 1999.

The Shenzhen was intended to be an experimental vessel with improvements over the Luhu-class in terms of modular construction and stealth. The ship is powered by two indigenous steam turbine engines.

The main purpose of the Type 051B was to gain experience in modern naval ship design and construction, and refining the knowledge and skills accumulated from the earlier Type 052, such as integrating many different foreign subsystems on the Type 052 more effectively.
