Review of Chinese Navy's escort missions in Gulf of Aden in past 4 years (3)

David Sedney, deputy assistant secretary of defense of the United States, once commented, "The Chinese naval escort taskforce exerts a lot of influences in the waters off the Somali coast. The Chinese naval sailors are in command of amazing tactics and in close cooperation with the navies of other countries including the U.S."

Tempering first-rate military capabilities

"During our escort missions in the Gulf of Aden, we may meet enemies at any time, and so we should be combat-ready at all times." This is the common feeling of all escort officers and men.

Through the "grindstone" of escort missions in the past four years, the PLA Navy has tempered its capabilities for using, organizing, commanding and projecting military forces, and carrying out tasks in open seas in an all-round way, and fully improved its capability for performing diversified military missions.
