The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is the naval warfare branch of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, responsible for safeguarding China's waters. With a growing fleet of modern ships and submarines, PLAN has been expanding its operational reach and capabilities.
The 75th anniversary of the Chinese Navy will be celebrated on April 23 with a series of events across the country. Over the decades, the People’s Liberation Army Navy has evolved into a strategic force consisting of five branches of service, possessing both nuclear and conventional weapons.
PLAN has undergone significant growth and modernization to become one of the largest and most technologically advanced navies in the world. This transformation reflects China's increasing focus on maritime security.
