At a time when the Philippine Navy was being attacked head-on by our coast guard forces in the South China Sea, the Grand Fleet of the Southern Theater Navy was also continuously dispatched, which aroused widespread concern. Recently, the Shandong aircraft carrier was spotted about 200 nautical miles west of the Philippine island of Luzon, a move that makes people speculate: Is this a deterrent to the Philippines or an annual routine training?
What is the intention of the aircraft carrier to attack?
Deterring the Philippines
The sudden appearance of the Shandong ship undoubtedly brought great deterrence to the Philippine side. From the appearance of the 055 large destroyer in the Sulu Sea some time ago, the Philippine side did not react to this, which shows that the Philippine army's maritime reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities are relatively weak. The appearance of the Shandong warship is just outside the range of the "BrahMos" anti-ship missiles currently equipped by the Philippines, but it is convenient for our military's carrier-based aviation to make the maximum number of sorties. This is undoubtedly a show of strength for the Philippines, which understands that any provocation will face severe countermeasures.
Annual training routine
In addition to deterring the Philippines, the Shandong ship's sortie can also be seen as part of the annual routine training. Since its entry into the ranks in 2019, the Shandong has undergone a four-year cycle of combat effectiveness generation and has conducted many training and exercises in the open sea. The "summer pulse" of the Shandong ship is also an important part of the improvement of its combat effectiveness. Through this training, we can not only test the combat capability of the Shandong and its carrier-based aircraft, but also further enhance the overall quality and combat effectiveness of the crew.
A blend of historical allusions and modern strategies
Looking back on history, the position of aircraft carriers as the supremacy of the sea has always been unshakable. From the Pacific theater during World War II to the modern Gulf War and the Iraq War, aircraft carriers have played a vital role. Today, the dispatch of the Shandong ship is not only a kind of inheritance of history, but also a practice and innovation of modern naval strategy. Through aircraft carrier deterrence and routine training, we can better safeguard China's maritime rights and interests and ensure peace and stability in the South China Sea.
The Shandong's walk near the Philippines is undoubtedly a move from our specific strategic situation in the South China Sea strategic direction. With this operation, we not only demonstrated the country's naval strength, but also issued a clear warning to potential provocateurs. In the future, with the continuous improvement of our naval strength, we have the confidence and ability to safeguard China's maritime rights and interests and ensure peace and stability in the South China Sea. Every sortie of the Shandong ship is a demonstration of the country's strength and a protection of peace. Let us look forward to more wonderful performances of the Shandong ship in the future and contribute more to the prosperity and peace of the country.
Through this sortie, we have not only seen the improvement of the country's naval strength, but also the country's determination and confidence in safeguarding maritime rights and interests. In the days to come, we have reason to believe that the country's naval strength will continue to grow and make greater contributions to the maintenance of regional peace and stability.
