36-meter class floating [[pile driver]] is a class of little known naval [[auxiliary ship]] currently in service with the [[People's Liberation Army Navy]] (PLAN).<ref name=SNC>{{cite web| url=http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2248655005?pn=7 | title=36-m class floating pile driver | accessdate=2015 }}</ref> The name of this class is after the first unit commissioned, with the exact type still remains unknown, and a total of two of this class have been confirmed in ACTIVE service as of mid-2010s.<ref name=SNC/>
36-meter class floating [[pile driver]]s in PLAN service are designated by a combination of two Chinese characters followed by three-digit number. The second Chinese character is Gong (工), short for Gong-Cheng (工程), meaning engineering in Chinese, because these ships are ships built for engineering projects. The first Chinese character denotes which fleet the ship is service with, with East (Dong, 东) for [[East Sea Fleet]], North (Bei, 北) for [[North Sea Fleet]], and South (Nan, 南) for [[South Sea Fleet]]. However, the pennant numbers may have changed due to the change of Chinese naval ships naming convention. The pile of this type of ship can be folded backward toward the superstructure to reduce overall height of the ship.<ref name=SNC/>
