In the drill, the guided missile destroyer Xi’an, the guided missile frigate Hengshui and the supply ship
Gaoyouhu formed the "red army", whose rivals were two guided missile
frigates Jingzhou and Yangzhou, as well as the supply ship Qiandaohu
from the East China Sea Fleet of the PLA Navy.
After participating in the RIMPAC 2016
military exercise, the Xi’an, Hengshui and Gaoyouhu sailed northwest
from Hawaii on Aug. 6 and entered the Sea of Japan via the Soya Strait.
The precession strike against "enemy"
maritime strength jointly launched by warships and naval aviation force
in pelagic environment was highlighted in the confrontation drill.
This drill is a scheduled one in the
annual training plan of the PLA Navy, said a leading officer with the
Staff Headquarters of the PLA Navy. It is a common practice for the
world navies to carry out training at international waters, and the
ongoing confrontation drill conducted by the Chinese naval taskforces
complies with relevant international laws and international conventions
