| The impressive 20,000ton LPD Changbaishan! |
On Mon morn (February 16, 2015), the 18th Escort Task Force of People's Liberation Army Navy arrived inwards Piraeus, Greece, for a four-day visit. The fleet consists of the Changbai Shan (989), a Type 071 Yuzhao-class Landing Platform Dock (LPD), the flagship of the squadron, the frigate Yuncheng (571), a Type 54A cast frigate (Jiangkai II) and the large replenishment shipping Chaohu (890), a Type 903A (Fuchi) replenishment ship. The fleet is nether the ascendancy of Real Admiral Zhang Chuanshu. On Wednesday, the Chinese ships docked at Piraeus, were opened upwardly to Earth (except Chaohu) for a express fourth dimension (10:00-12:00 as well as 14:00-16:00). Of course, I could non fille this opportunity; I establish the fourth dimension to catch the warships just for an hour. Enjoy photos of LPD Changbaishan, the flagship of the Chinese chore forcefulness as well as 1 of the 4 ships of the cast inwards service amongst People's Liberation Army Navy that was commissioned only inwards 2012!
