A Chinese naval task force consisting of the training vessel Qi Jiguang and the amphibious landing ship Kunlunshan departed from Qingdao on June 15 to begin a far-sea training and exchange mission. More than 400 instructors and cadets are taking part in the voyage, alongside 20 military academy students from 10 countries, including Myanmar and Brazil. The mission will provide practical training at sea while promoting international military exchanges. Known as China’s “mobile university at sea,” the Qi Jiguang is the country’s largest dedicated training vessel, while the Kunlunshan is a key amphibious transport ship capable of supporting a wide range of maritime operations.
