In August 1960, it is officially renamed as North Sea Fleet HQ. It is by far the most powerful Fleet within the PLAN.

This fleet is responsible for the maritime security of the Yellow Sea and the Bo Sea (from the Yalu river to Lianyungang Port), which is the most important maritime defense line for China. Bo Sea is the oceanic gateway to the Beijing, it is only few dozen kilometers away from Tianjin, the third largest city in China, and a 100 kilometers from the capital.

Across the Yellow Sea are China’s two traditional foes: the Russians and the Japanese.

The North Sea area was the cradle of China’s modern navy and a number of sea battles were fought there. The PLAN has also devoted enormous resources to building it s North Sea Fleet and has made it the largest number of ships in the PLAN, over 400.
