PLA Navy news, pics and videos

Z-10s participating in a naval exercise.

a deck landing would have been great

definitely they need naval Z10 for LHD programme

should be to hard to modify with flotation devices, sea corrosive paint and reinforced landing gear

A sunny day at Zhenjiang(?) naval base.

what a wide angle shot could have been better to get the last LPD in on the right

I see 1 x Type 901, 4 x Type 071 LPD, 2 x Type 072 II they dont look like the Type 072 III LST and 1 x MLP

only missing is now the LHD

The Chinese navy is making some changes to the paint schemes of its ships and subs. Attached image appears to show only one part of a larger document. It doesn't define or provide specifications for the colors mentioned in the document. Therefore, the changes laid out could be more visually striking than I currently imagine.

Feel free to correct any translation errors you may find.

P.S. Questions marks indicate that I'm unsure how best to translate the terms.

==================================================================================

For surface ships:

1. Black (instead of white) for pennant numbers.
2. Brown (instead of red) for areas below the waterline.
3. Navy gray for most above-waterline structures; dark gray for weather decks; black for exhaust hoods, deflectors, and areas that are susceptible to being stained by exhaust gases.
4. Black for draft marks above the waterline; white for draft marks below the waterline;
5. White for landing pad markings.

==================================================================================

For submarines:

1. Brown (instead of red) for areas below the waterline.
2. Black for areas above the waterline, including the sail/fin.
3. White for hull markings, including draft marks and pennant numbers.

- Excluding deckhouses, radio and radar antennae, and other tall structures forward of the exhaust stacks, all other structures higher than the lowest part of exhaust stacks that are painted black shall also be painted black.​

I don't think this is new, it's just the old HJB 37A standard from 2000. Pennant number being black is a big clue that it's before 2011.
