　　The high-profile Sino-Russian "Sea Joint-2021" joint military exercise and the first joint naval cruise were successfully completed on the 23rd in the eastern waters of the East China Sea. The Chinese command ship and China’s self-developed 055-ton-class guided missile destroyer Nanchang triumphed on the 24th. , Its "first show" of joint exercises + cruises with overseas voyages and foreign military forces has attracted widespread attention.

　　In December 2008, the first batch of the Chinese Navy's escort fleet went to the Somali waters of the Gulf of Aden. The Chinese Navy took the key first step to advance into Deep Blue. Among them, the 052C guided-missile destroyer Haikou, known as the "Chinese Aegis", was amazing. Appearing in the Indian Ocean also became a major focus of attention of the international and domestic society at that time.

　　From the Chinese Aegis to the 10,000-ton drive, from the Indian Ocean Gulf of Aden escort to the joint cruise in the Western Pacific and the Japanese Sea, the Chinese Navy’s two key missions to Haituqiang, China News Agency reporters all interviewed on the ship, witnessed and witnessed. The Chinese Navy has achieved a huge leapfrog development.

　　Now it seems that if the Chinese navy first stepped into the actual state of Deep Blue that lacked experience and needed continuous exploration and accumulation, one can use the poem of Qu Yuan, the great patriotic poet of the Warring States period in ancient China, "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down. "To describe and summarize, then, the brilliant performance of the Chinese Navy’s Deep Blue Journey in this Sino-Russian joint naval exercise and joint cruise has reached the famous poem described by Mao Zedong, the founding leader of the People’s Republic of China. The realm of "walking".

　　During the Sino-Russian joint naval exercises and joint cruises, the Chinese participating naval fleets have successively crossed the Tsushima Strait, the Sea of ​​Japan, traversed the Tsugaru Strait, cruised the Western Pacific, and crossed the Osumi Strait into the East China Sea. They have been challenged by severe sea conditions such as strong winds and waves. , Has also been repeatedly followed by ships and aircraft of relevant countries. The Chinese navy responded calmly in accordance with international rules and performed generous cruise exercises, reflecting the high-level and high-quality demeanor of the navies of major powers.

　　From "searching up and down" to "walking in the courtyard", comparatively speaking, in just over ten years, the Chinese navy's strength level has undergone earth-shaking changes: the development of warships has broken through a series of key technologies such as the overall design of large ships, information integration, and assembly and construction. , The tonnage of ships is getting bigger and bigger, the ocean-going seaworthiness is getting stronger and stronger, the shipboard weapons and equipment are getting more and more advanced, the quality of the officers and soldiers on the ship is getting higher and higher, the logistical support is getting more and more powerful, the scale of research and development has even been reduced. Netizens jokingly called it "like a dumpling".

　　At the same time, the Chinese Navy has been shouldering and carrying out more and more tasks in the open seas and oceans, including escort in the Gulf of Aden, joint exercises and training, ocean training, friendly visits, etc., which always remain in existence at all times.

The commanders at all levels of the Chinese Navy are facing all kinds of explicit and implicit challenges, and their ability to respond to occasions is getting stronger and stronger.

Based on this, on the international stage facing Deep Blue, the Chinese Navy has become more and more open and confident, and more mature and responsible.

　　However, while making significant changes, the Chinese Navy is maintaining the country’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, security, and development interests, always maintaining the original character and beliefs of the People’s Army, demonstrating its responsibility as a great power, safeguarding world peace, and achieving Deep Blue’s pursuit of goals. It remains firmly unchanged.

　　From the Chinese Aegis to the 10,000-ton large-scale drive, and then to the inclusion of dual aircraft carriers, the Chinese Navy has opened a new chapter to Hai Tuqiang through the harmonious development of change and change, and will move toward a deeper deep blue and farther oceans. , To escort the construction of China's maritime power.
