People's Liberation Army Navy - Naval Aviation Organizational Structure
Naval Aviation is composed of bomber, fighter- bomber, attack, fighter, antisubmarine and reconnaissance units, as well as warning, electronic countermeasure, transport, rescue, and air refueling units. Together, these aircraft have reconnaissance, security, antiship, antisubmarine, and air defense capabilities. The organizational order moves from the Naval Aviation Department through fleet aviation to air divisions and regiments.
Today, as shown below, Naval Aviation has 7 air divisions, which are organized into air regiments and regiment-grade field stations, battalion-grade flight and maintenance groups, and company-grade flight and maintenance squadrons. Naval Aviation also has several independent regiments, such as its shipborne helicopter regiments. Each fleet also has a radar brigade subordinate to Naval Aviation. In addition, the North Sea Fleet has a Naval Aviation AAA regiment.
