People’s Liberation Army Navy Jack and Ensign
The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) (Simplified Chinese: 中国人民解放军海军; Traditional Chinese: 中國人民解放軍海軍; Pinyin: Zhōngguó Rénmín Jiěfàngjūn Hǎijūn) is the naval branch of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the military of the People’s Republic of China. Until the early 1990s, the navy performed a subordinate role to the PLA Land Forces.
Since then it has undergone rapid modernisation. The PLAN also includes…Coastal Defence Force and…Naval infantry/Marines, plus a…PLAN Aviation naval air arm operating several hundred land-based aircraft and ship-based helicopters. As part of its overall program of naval modernization, the PLAN has a plan of developing a blue water navy.

The PLAN traces its lineage to units of the Republic of China Navy who defected to the People’s Liberation Army towards the end of the Chinese Civil War. In 1949, Mao Zedong asserted that "to oppose imperialist aggression, we must build a powerful navy." The Naval Academy was set up at Dalian in March 1950, mostly with Soviet instructors. The navy was established in September 1950 by consolidating regional naval forces under General Staff Department command in Jiangyan, now in Taizhou, Jiangsu province. It then consisted of a motley collection of ships and boats acquired from the Kuomintang forces. The Naval Air Force was added two years later. By 1954 an estimated 2,500 Soviet naval advisers were in China—possibly one adviser to every thirty Chinese naval personnel—and the Soviet Union began providing modern ships. With Soviet assistance, the navy reorganized in 1954 and 1955 into the North Sea Fleet, East Sea Fleet, and South Sea Fleet, and a corps of admirals and other naval officers was established from the ranks of the ground forces. In shipbuilding the Soviets first assisted the Chinese, then the Chinese copied Soviet designs without assistance, and finally the Chinese produced vessels of their own design. Eventually Soviet assistance progressed to the point that a joint Sino-Soviet Pacific Ocean fleet was under discussion.
人民解放军海军(PLAN)是中华人民共和国军队——人民解放军的海军部门。直到1990年代早期,这只海军还只是处于解放军陆军部队的从属地位。
从那时起,解放军海军的发展走上了快车道。人民解放军海军还包括若干岸防部队、若干陆战队以及拥有数百架陆基战机和舰载直升机的海军航空兵部队。作为海军现代化总体规划的一部分,解放军海军计划建立一直蓝水海军。
