Recently, according to media reports, three new ships of the Chinese Navy held an entry ceremony in Sanya. Among them, the first ship of the Type 075, the "Hainan", was born and announced that it has officially entered service as a "quasi-aircraft carrier." Some people think that this is a sign With the centuries-old humiliation of the Chinese Navy, some Russian netizens lamented this: With this country’s heavy weapon, the overall situation of the South China Sea is stable. Everyone immediately became curious about the name of the Hainan ship, so what is its name? What's special?

Among the new ships entering service this time, in addition to the Hainan ship, there are the Long March 18 submarine and the Type 055 guided missile destroyer Dalian, both of which are heavyweight roles. The Hainan ship is the first ship since the Liaoning ship and the Shandong ship. The three large warships named after the administrative provinces also proved the important status of the Type 075 amphibious assault ship. As a large amphibious assault ship, it is of vital importance for the Navy to move towards the deep blue.


The destroyer Dalian, which participated in the handover ceremony, is currently the most powerful guided missile destroyer in the Navy. It has a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. It has enough space to load combat equipment and supplies, optimize weapon configuration, and is suitable for ocean warfare. The spacious space has greatly improved the comfort of the officers and soldiers. The double hangars can be equipped with two advanced anti-submarine helicopters to assist the destroyer in patrol and anti-submarine tasks. The flight deck has become larger, allowing the destroyer to use helicopters. The capability upgrade of its dual-band radar, which can reach an air search radius of about 300 kilometers, is equipped with up to 112 vertical launch units, which can launch anti-ship, air defense, anti-missile, anti-submarine, and ground strikes. The missile is the most powerful guard with a knife on the aircraft carrier.


Many countries have chosen to build large amphibious assault ships due to insufficient military budgets and technical constraints. For China, large amphibious assault ships can make up for the lack of aircraft carriers. It is a generalist in the navy and is compatible with lower costs. In order to meet more combat requirements, if it is equipped with a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft, it can be used as a light aircraft carrier. This type of ship can undertake certain helicopter carrier functions during low-intensity operations, which is a rigid requirement for modern combat.

The Type 075 amphibious assault ship is comparable to the most advanced ships of its kind in the world today. It can send troops to the beach and land in a three-dimensional manner in a short time. The straight-through deck can park more carrier-based aircraft and carry a large number of different purposes. Helicopters perform different tasks such as anti-submarine, escort, and ground strikes. The air-cushion landing craft onboard has the ability to project amphibious heavy forces and can also perform humanitarian rescue tasks. Its appearance complements the Chinese Navy’s landing operations. A short board marked the completion of the renewal of amphibious warships and a historic leap in ocean-going amphibious warfare capabilities.


The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century. In the complex and volatile international situation, keep in mind the lesson of being beaten if you fall behind, and follow the old motto that you would rather be warless for a thousand days than be unprepared for a day. Use force to stop fighting and be active. In preparation for war, the entry into service of these new types of equipment demonstrates the navy’s determination and ability to safeguard the sovereignty of the territorial waters and highlights the Chinese Navy’s will to move toward the deep blue. To safeguard national security and maritime rights and interests, lay a solid foundation and move towards the grand goal of building a world-class navy in an all-round way.
