Reseña del libro "China Surface Warships: 2019 - 2020 (en Inglés)"
CHINA SURFACE WARSHIPS: 2019 - 2020Color photos of active Chinese PLA Navy Surface Warships(Updated 23 February 2023) Updated to reflect the tremendous growth in the number and quality of ships in the last few years. Some ships were decommissioned, some were transferred to the Coast Guard and some were renumbered.NOTE that the CV-19 Beijing class (Type 004) aircraft carrier deck elevators can lift two (2) aircraft each simultaneously because they are not square, but angled outward (trapezoid). In 2019 it was announced that China's PLA Navy now has more ships (300) than the U.S. Navy (287). This book covers the bulk of Beijing's Navy including destroyers, frigates, corvettes and amphibious landing ships. These categories have seen significant growth since 2019. The rapid growth of ships is in keeping with the Military Strategy China released in 2015 which states, "... the PLA Navy (PLAN) will gradually shift its focus from "offshore waters defense" to the combination of "offshore waters defense" with "open seas protection," and build a combined, multi-functional and efficient marine combat force structure." The launching of new ships is in addition to retiring very old ships (pre-1990) and modernizing ships built after that.U.S. Navy ships are larger, and the U.S. has more aircraft carriers - China has one active (CV-16), one being repaired (CV-17) and 2 (or 3) being built. We added China's aircraft carriers tho there is precious little information out there. It does appear that CV-19 will be nuclear powered and include lasers and rail guns as defensive weapons. This book does not go into the ships of the Coast Guard, the PLA Navy Reserve Force, the People's Armed Police (PAP) or the China Militia (中国民).
