Sept. 11 - Two Chinese naval2 vessels3 on Monday conducted a first ever joint exercise with British aircraft carrier Ark Royal in the Atlantic sea near the southern British port city of Portsmouth.

 

The two Chinese naval vessels are the guided missile destroyer Guangzhou and the supply ship Weishanhu. This is the first time that Chinese naval vessels have conducted a joint exercise with an aircraft carrier and their first exercise in the Atlantic sea.

 

The exercise covered communication operations, including light communications and ultra-high frequency telecommunication5, change of formations, joint fleet formations search, and search and rescue of damaged ships.

 

The exercise was conducted under the following scenario6: a naval vessel4 from country G caught fire on the sea; under the request of country G, Chinese and British naval vessels go to search for the vessel and for any survivors7.
