The PLA Navy was established on April 23rd, 1949. The army is an independent service, and its level is the corps level. The current strength is about 230,000. Its command organization is the Naval Command, as well as the Naval Political Department, the Naval Logistics Department and the Naval Equipment Department.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy is a modern synthetic service of the China People's Liberation Army, which is mainly composed of naval forces and naval aviation, and undertakes maritime combat tasks. Its main task is to defend the enemy's invasion from the sea independently or in cooperation with the army and air force, defend the sovereignty of territorial waters and safeguard maritime rights and interests. Its combat troops-except the naval headquarters, are distributed in the three major fleets of the North Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The navy is the main force in maritime operations and has the ability to fight on the surface, in the water and in the air.
The navy has three fleets, namely the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. Each fleet has jurisdiction over the marine police area, ship detachment and ship brigade.
The North Sea Fleet is the only team of China Navy with nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. Headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Province. It has jurisdiction over Qingdao (Weihai, Jiaonan Marine Police District), Lushun Base (Dalian, Yingkou Marine Police District) and Huludao Base (Qinhuangdao, Tianjin Marine Police District). Huludao base is the home port of nuclear submarines.
The East China Sea Fleet is responsible for safeguarding the security of China's East China Sea. Headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang. It has jurisdiction over Shanghai base (Lianyungang and Wusong Marine Police Zone), Zhoushan base (Dinghai and Wenzhou Marine Police Zone) and Fujian base (Ningde and Xiamen Marine Police Zone).
The South China Sea Fleet is responsible for defending the waters of the South China Sea, especially the islands in the South China Sea. Headquartered in Zhanjiang, Guangdong. It has jurisdiction over Zhanjiang Base (Zhanjiang and Beihai Marine Police Zone), Guangzhou Base (Huangpu and Shantou Marine Police Zone) and Yulin Base (Haikou and Xisha Marine Police Zone).
China navy's development strategy has changed from offshore navy to regional navy, and its application scope should cover offshore 1000 nautical miles or more. According to the characteristics of the battlefield in the Sea of China, it is required to shrink the point, line and surface, highlight the key points, form a battlefield system in which the battlefields in the eastern and southern seas echo each other, and have the ability to control the important straits and waterways leading from China waters to ocean waters in wartime. By 2008, China Navy will have four 7,900-ton "Modern" class destroyers, six 3,670-ton "Luda" class (05 1 G Ⅲ), 6,6001"Green Sea" class and 6,600-ton "Green Sea" class. There are two 6,500-ton "Lvyang" class destroyers (052B), two 7,000-ton "Lvyang II" class destroyers (052b), 100-ton "Jiangwei 2" class frigate (053H3) and 4,000-ton "Jiang Kai" class frigate (054A). Divided into destroyer formation and frigate detachment.
The destroyer formation is the main force of surface warfare, equipped with 1 supply ship, and can independently carry out offshore operations. The destroyer formation of North Sea Fleet consists of two 051G Ⅲ, two 052 and four 054 frigates. The destroyer formation of the East China Sea Fleet consists of four "modern" ships, two 051G Ⅲ ships and two 053H3 frigates. The destroyer formation of South China Sea Fleet consists of 2 052B, 2 052C, 1 05 1B, 2 05 1g III * * 7 ships.
The frigate detachment is a surface force composed entirely of frigates, which mainly performs tasks such as escort, fishing protection, offshore patrol and wartime support. The frigate detachment of the North Sea Fleet consists of four 053H3 ships. The frigate detachment of the East China Sea Fleet consists of six 053H3 ships. The frigate detachment of the South China Sea Fleet consists of four 053H3 ships.
05 1 is the first generation destroyer in China, and its overall performance is very backward. However, with the second-generation command system and new weapons on board, its performance has been greatly improved, especially 05 1Gⅲⅲ, which basically reached the level of the second-generation destroyer. As the second generation destroyer, Type 052 has good overall performance. Although the service time is not long, it has also been modified on a large scale. The Type 052C destroyer will become the main destroyer built in batches, and the Jiangnan factory will build about 7 Type 052C destroyers in the next few years. The improvement of the frigate is mainly the improvement of 053H2 (Jiang Wei Ⅰ). As the representative of the second generation frigate, 053H2 is not very advanced in performance and has gradually fallen behind. Therefore, four 053H2 ships should be improved according to the standard of 053H3 (Jiang Wei II) to improve the overall combat capability. After improvement, it was deployed in the East China Sea Fleet. The 4000-ton Type 054 frigate will become the main force of naval frigates, and Hudong Factory will complete 8 frigates before 20 10 (conservative estimate).
With the need of a new generation of main battle ships going to the ocean, the original ocean-going supply ships are becoming more and more inadequate. More than six new supply ships, represented by the 886 ship, will be built to ensure that there are two ships in each of the three major fleets, one at sea and one for standby. Together with two Fuqing-class and 1 South-class ships, China will have 9- 10 large-scale supply ships with a capacity of more than 20,000 tons, basically meeting the needs of the navy's ocean-going activities.
As for mine warfare ships, our navy is very weak in this respect. The old Soviet T54 minesweeper is still in use, and the new 082 base minesweeper has a small number and limited endurance.
The submarine force is one of the pillars of China's navy. China's navy has the largest submarine force in the western Pacific, but it is dominated by old submarines with backward performance, which can no longer meet the needs of modern warfare.
035E5F improved submarine ***6 ships, respectively deployed in the North Sea and South China Sea Fleet.
As a new generation of conventional submarines, the number of Type 039 submarines will reach 8 by 2005 and will be deployed in three major fleets. Among them, there are 4 East China Sea Fleet, 2 North China Sea Fleet and 2 South China Sea Fleet.
Because there are still some shortcomings in the 039 submarine built in China, we ordered 12 Kilo-class submarines from Russia from 1994 to meet the needs of future naval operations, including 2 877EKM submarines and 636 10 submarines, with 4 submarines in each fleet.
At present, China has six Type 09 1 attack nuclear submarines and three Type 092 strategic nuclear submarines (numbered 406a, 406b and 406c). In order to solve the performance problems of nuclear submarines, China made three large-scale technical improvements to 09 1 and 092, and began to develop China's second-generation nuclear submarines, namely 093 and 094.
In the past ten years, the navy has modernized its fleet to replace the old with the new.
The naval air force is equipped with 800 fighters. There are 9 departments. There are also planes 17 used for maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare, and various helicopters 103. Mainly include: Zhi -9C light ship-borne anti-submarine helicopter and Ka -28 ship-borne anti-submarine helicopter (export model of Russian Ka -27). The naval air force will be equipped with three flying leopard divisions (* * * 120 JH-7), each with 40 JH-7s. In addition, by the end of 2005, 48 Soviet 30MKK2 fighters had been repurchased.
