【Exclusive Revealed】Surprise! Where is the Chinese Navy 055 drive going? The truth is shocking!
Recently, a piece of news shocked the Internet again, and some people claimed that China's 055 drive was on a super mission, 100 nautical miles ahead, facing the US aircraft carrier. What is even more exaggerated is that the US F-18 carrier-based aircraft actually swooped maliciously, as if a naval battle filled with gunpowder was about to break out. But, let me tell you, it's just a complete hype!

In fact, the operation of the 055 drive was completely routine. It is just performing ordinary tasks and serving as a radar sentry ship of the Liaoning ship formation, and there is no super heads-up plan. At that time, the Liaoning ship formation obtained information through satellite reconnaissance and learned that the Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group was nearby, so it carried out corresponding combat readiness measures. This includes the possibility of taking off early warning destroyers to carry out reconnaissance of radar sentry ships for 100 nautical miles, and this is completely routine in nature.

What is the truth behind it? It is not a heads-up, but the Chinese Navy is gradually improving the command organ's wide-area maritime surveillance capabilities. It's not a hard-nosed showdown, but more of a cautious move based on a strategic level. So, please don't overstate this mission as an earth-shattering battle, which is a misreading of the facts.

Of course, our navy is growing rapidly, with three aircraft carriers, 50 guided missile destroyers and 120 missile frigates, which are among the highest in the world in terms of number and tonnage, which is something to be proud of. However, we still need to be soberly aware that the navy is still a novice. This "new" has two meanings, one is that we are developing rapidly and leading in equipment, which is our late-mover advantage; Second, we are relatively jerky in terms of actual combat experience, especially how to use naval power.

The Navy is not a joke and needs to be approached with caution. In peacetime, how to play with the adversary, how to respond to provocations, this requires systematic means and a clear strategy. This includes not only simulated confrontation, but also electronic reconnaissance, electronic countermeasures, and other skills. This is a contest of strength and will, and at the same time a test of the true level of the navy's combat power.

There is a bottom line in the contest between major powers, and it is not an endless temptation. Our Navy needs to be sober and not exaggerate its strength too much, otherwise it will only cause unnecessary negative consequences on itself. In the vast expanse of the ocean, it is a serious and dangerous task to contend with a strong enemy, and the performance of our fleet must be realistic and not too ostentatious. This is the right way to go! [Continue Reading].
