The Vietnam People's Navy has been equipped with many types of modern warships, including the Gepard 3.9 missile frigate fleet.

In 2011, Brigade 162 (Naval Region 4) was assigned by the Navy to manage, train, exploit, and use as masters the missile frigates 011 - Dinh Tien Hoang and 012 - Ly Thai To.

More than 6 years later (2017 and 2018), ship 015 - Tran Hung Dao and ship 016 - Quang Trung continued to be assigned to Brigade 162.

In particular, in the face of many complicated developments at sea, missile frigate troops focused on combat training, building up their fighting spirit and will, remaining calm and confident in handling situations that occurred during patrols at sea, firmly protecting the sovereignty of the Fatherland's seas and islands.
