The Type 037-IG (NATO reporting name: Houxin class) is a missile corvette developed from the hull of the Type 037I (Haijiu class) anti-submarine patrol craft. The vessel was developed as an low-cost alternative to the more capable Type 037-II (Houjian class) missile corvette introduced roughly the same time. A total of 24 hulls were built by Shanghai-based Qiuxin Shipyard between 1991 and 1997, with six of them sold to the Myanmar Navy in the mid-1990s.

037-IG型（北约代号：红星级）是从037I型（海鸠级）反潜巡逻艇的艇身发展的导弹艇。发展当作更有能力的037-II型（红箭级）的一种低成本代替型。在1991和1997年之间在上海求新造船厂建造总数为24艘，在1990年中期其中6艘出售给缅甸海军。

Weapons

The Type 037-IG is generally similar to the Type 037-I in hull design, but has the VDS equipment and depth charge projectors and racks on the stern deck removed to give room for two three-cell YingJi-8 anti-ship missile launchers. The missile uses active radar homing and is powered by a solid rocket engine with a solid rocket booster. The missile has a range of 40km and approaches the target in sea skimming mode at a speed of Mach 0.9. The 165kg shaped charge warhead has time delayed impact proximity fuses.

武器

037-IG型与037-I型大体上相似的艇身设计，但是拆除尾甲板上的可变深度声纳（VDS）装置和深水炸弹投放器和支架为五-单元鹰击-8型反舰导弹发射装置腾开地方。导弹采用主动雷达引导并且由一台采用固体火箭助推器的固体火箭发动机提供动力。导弹射程40公里并且以0.9马赫速度掠海模式下接近目标。165公斤锥形装药弹头采用延时冲击近炸引信。

The vessel has two (one front, one rear) Type 76A automatic dual-37mm AAA guns, firing shells at a rate of 400 rounds/min to a range of 9.4km for airborne targets. Additionally the ship has two manually operated dual-14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns (AAMG).
