I'm designing a scenario based on Tom Clancy's novel SSN, specifically the chapter Battle Royale. I've run into a problem of finding what PLAN ships are active in 1997. Is anyone aware of a source that would have this information?

The number and classes for 1996 appear in the pdf below. Also the location by fleets.

Another list with numbers and classes every 5 years, 1995 included.

This link for the Cold War navies may be useful.
