South Sea Fleet

The South Sea Fleet is one of the three main fleets of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China, primarily based in the southern region of the country. It plays a crucial role in protecting China's maritime interests in the South China Sea, which is a strategically important area due to its shipping routes and natural resources. The fleet conducts naval operations, training exercises, and patrols, and it is also involved in humanitarian missions and joint exercises with other nations. Its presence reflects China's growing naval capabilities and ambitions in regional security and maritime affairs.
