Unlike her LSM 978 she is to be scrapped near pier number 2 at Zhanjiang, the same spot where her sisters of the 2nd landing ship squadron LSM 958 and LSM959 met the same fate in 1998.
LSM 978 decommissioned.
LSM978, a Type079 Yulian class LSM, was decommissioned on January 14,
2010 in a ceremony at the Haikou Naval Base before heading to the Naval
Museum in Sanya.

LSM978 was built in January 1980 by the Huangpu Shipyard in Shanghai and
commissioned into the South Sea Fleet in January 1981. It was a rather
small LSM by today's standard with a capacity for only 5 tanks or 8
vehicles.
It's sister ship, LSM 959
