After 20 years of vigorous development, the Chinese Navy's South China Sea Fleet has become a powerful and powerful maritime force, especially in terms of weapons and equipment. Such as aircraft carrier , amphibious assault ship , 10,000-ton Aegis destroyer, universal destroyer , ocean-going frigate, light anti-submarine frigate, integrated supply ship, amphibious dock landing ship , amphibious tank landing ship, nuclear submarine (attack Type, strategic missile type), conventional submarine , intelligence collection ship, minesweeper , rescue ship and other ship types, almost all ships owned by other navies are also installed in the South China Sea Fleet. Because of this, the South China Sea Fleet can withstand all-round inspections and assessments, and has won many contests with foreign armies.
At present, the main lineup of the South China Sea Fleet is basically stable in the short term and will not change much. In the future, the joining of "fresh blood" will mainly rely on 055 destroyers, aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships and a small number of 052D destroyers and 054A frigates. The basis for this prediction is roughly based on two aspects: on the one hand, the 055 destroyers, aircraft carriers, and amphibious assault ships are still being built in batches or have follow-up construction plans (especially the 055 large-scale drive is worth looking forward to), and the improvement of the 052DL Type destroyers and 054A frigates also have follow-up orders for construction (but the number will not be too large), so these combat ships are definitely the main source of future supplements for the South China Sea Fleet. On the other hand, the current South China Sea Fleet destroyers and frigates are very large in scale, and the main new warships are very short in age. The basic structure has been finalized, and there will be no large-scale replacement in the short term.
In fact, the current comprehensive strength of the South China Sea Fleet alone is enough to cope with the maritime power of the entire Southeast Asia region, and can even challenge the navies of any European country. With 1 Shandong aircraft carrier, 1 Hainan amphibious assault ship, 3 0.55 million ton destroyers, 9 052D series destroyers, 2 052C destroyers, 1 051B Shenzhen ship, 2 052B destroyers, and 5 071 dock landings Ship , 10 054A ocean-going frigates, nearly 20 056A anti-submarine frigates, more than 10 072 series tank landing ships, plus a large number of nuclear submarines and conventional submarines, the South China Sea Fleet clearly has powerful land strike and anti-ship capabilities , air defense and anti-submarine combat capabilities.
But the reality is that the task of the South China Sea Fleet is not just as simple as controlling the South China Sea , but also taking into account "the protection of China's maritime energy lifeline, radiating the Indian Ocean / Pacific, fighting against external forces' disruption in the South China Sea, and always moving north to support East China Sea Fleet " and other four major tasks, so there is still pressure.
In short, the South China Sea Fleet, as my country's most powerful fleet, with the widest jurisdiction over the widest sea area and the most complex security situation, must not relax in the construction of "hardware and software". "If the Great Wall of on the sea is to never fall down," daily contribution is indispensable. It is expected that the South China Sea Fleet will continue to grow and develop as new domestically produced ships continue to enter service.
