A Chinese People s Liberation Army Navy expedition group led by a Type 052D destroyer recently crossed the equator as it sailed further into the open sea, and such missions enable the PLA to get familiar with the high seas as China eyes to build a blue-water navy, experts said on Thursday.
The joint expedition training group affiliated with the PLA Navy Southern Theater Command recently conducted a line-crossing ceremony as the warships sailed past the equator, according to a video released by the PLA Navy on its Sina Weibo account on Thursday.
