In late 2013, the second batch of 903 type of Chaohu (890) to complete two 20,000-ton supply ship to implement the sea horizontal supply operations, which is the first time the Chinese navy supply ship between the sea supply each other. In July 2014, the United States and its allies jointly organized the Pacific Rim military exercise (RIMPAC 2014), China for the first time to send naval vessels involved, including 052C missile destroyer Haikou (171), 054A missile frigate Yueyang (575), 903 Comprehensive supply ship Qiandao Lake (886) and Peace Ship (866) hospital ship.
In February 24, 2016, the Thousand Island Lake (886) by the Chinese navy awarded the "ocean supply pacesetter ship" honorary title; thus, the Thousand Island Lake has twice dispatched to the Indian Ocean receiver ships, 4 dispatch to the Gulf of Aden, The implementation of 6 batches of Somalia escort mission to participate in the March 2014 crash of the flight of the MH flight flight search operation, the Sino-Russian "sea joint -2014" joint military exercises, the 2014 "Pacific Rim military exercises" and other tasks, the cumulative range More than 20 million nautical miles, and had to create the first time the Chinese navy three ships and by the supply, the first time with the foreign warships between the sailing supply exercises and other Chinese navy's first record, and refresh the Chinese naval ship escort mission for the longest , In order to complete the task of up to two records; in recent years, Qiandao Lake ship was named "advanced grassroots party organizations", "naval advanced ship model" and two collective second class.
Escort operations in the Gulf of Aden trained the Chinese navy's capabilities far out at sea, but also exposed some problems. The lack of large-scale integrated supply ship is one of them. A blue-water navy, ocean-going navy, there must be competent service support. At present, the Chinese navy supply ship on a large stretched embarrassment has emerged. Design and construction of large-scale supply ship is even more imperative, not to mention with the Liaoning ship commissioned by the Navy, the aircraft carrier battle group is also supporting the construction of ships need to be synchronized to keep up with the development of large supply vessels and aircraft support ship imperative. Expected next generation of supply ships will have to be a major breakthrough in the degree of automation, supply capacity, and tonnage estimates may be 45,000 tons.
Even a small number of AORs may be sufficient to sustain two groups of modern naval combatants for a blockade mission focused on Taiwan, but their intended missions go much further afield. In Chinese thinking, Pacific island chains are divided into the first island chain, the second island chain, the third island chain. In fact, the "first island chain", from the geographical term to become an international political terms, is derived from the Cold War. The layout of the United States in the first island chain, the first was not used against China, but against the Soviet Union. During the Cold War, the Pacific direction was an important East-West confrontation fronts. Here the Soviet Pacific Fleet strategic nuclear submarine readied to enter the Pacific activities as an important deterrent against the United States.
