Three ships from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy visited Pearl Harbor, Hawaii from September 6th through the 9th. The visiting ships are the Qingdao, a Luhu-class destroyer, the Linyi, Jiangkai-class frigate, and the Hongzehu, a Fuqing-class fleet oiler. The ships are in Pearl Harbor for a military-to-military relationship building port visit. The visit includes dialogue between senior leadership from both navies, social and recreational activities for Chinese sailors, and the capstone event, a search and rescue exercise off the coast of Oahu in which the two navies will work together. The last visit by a Chinese ship to Pearl Habor-Hickam was in 2006. ================================== Work: Chinese Navy Ships Visit Pearl Harbor Author: TSgt Michael Jackson http://www.dvidshub.net/portfolio/1060008/michael-jackson Identified by: DVIDS Creative Commons "Public Domain Mark 1.0" has been applied to this work: http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/ *** This work, Chinese Navy Ships Visit Pearl Harbor, by TSgt Michael Jackson, identified by DVIDS, is free of known copyright restrictions under U.S. copyright law. ================================== To all the men and women of our military - the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard, to those serving Stateside, to those fighting the Taliban and insurgent forces in Afghanistan, to those who face off with the soldiers of North Korea 24 hours a day, and to those stationed abroad in Germany, Japan, and other countries around the world - thank you for your service!
