Type 756 radar is a Chinese navigational radar developed in the 1970s by Shanghai 4th Radio Factory. Type 756 radar is a dual band radar that utilizes S and X bands, and the utilization of S-band on the navigational radar is the first in China. [1] Type 756 radar is used by both Chinese merchant ships and ships of Chinese navy. The solid state radar digitally displays range and bearing on large display and the maximum range is 96 nautical miles. [1]
The People's Liberation Army Navy, also known as the PLA Navy, is the naval warfare branch of the People's Liberation Army, which is the armed wing of the Communist Party of China and, by default, the national armed forces of the People's Republic of China. The PLAN can trace its lineage to naval units fighting during the Chinese Civil War and was established in September 1950. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, the Soviet Union provided assistance to the PLAN in the form of naval advisers and export of equipment and technology. Until the late 1980s, the PLAN was largely a riverine and littoral force. However, by the 1990s, following the fall of the Soviet Union and a shift towards a more forward-oriented foreign and security policy, the leaders of the Chinese military were freed from worrying over land border disputes, and instead turned their attention towards the seas. This led to the development of the People's Liberation Army Navy into a green-water navy by 2009. Before the 1990s the PLAN had traditionally played a subordinate role to the People's Liberation Army Ground Force.
The Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier is a class of fixed-wing aircraft carriers operated by the Russian and Chinese navies. Originally designed for the Soviet Navy, the Kuznetsov-class ships use a ski-jump to launch high-performance conventional aircraft in a STOBAR configuration. The design represented a major advance in Soviet fleet aviation over the Kiev-class carriers, which could only launch VSTOL aircraft. Two ships were originally laid down at the Nikolayev South Shipyard in the Ukrainian SSR, followed by the first of the Ulyanovsk-class nuclear-powered supercarriers.
"China's first-generation guided-missile destroyer decommissioned". Archived from the original on 2016-11-21. Retrieved 2016-11-20. The Type 051 destroyer Guided missile destroyer was the first modern surface warfare oriented vessel ever designed and built in China, and the first Chinese ship to be fitted with an integrated combat direction system. It was usually considered to be based on the Soviet Kotlin class destroyer design though some other sources say the Neustrashimy class destroyer, with some features from the Kotlin class.
The Type 052Luhu-class is one of the first modern multi-role guided missile destroyers built by China. There are currently two units in active service with the People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force. It was succeeded by the Type 051B.
The Type 730 is a Chinese seven-barrelled 30 mm Gatling gun CIWS. It has a PLA-N designation H/PJ12. It is mounted in an enclosed automatic turret and directed by radar, and electro-optical tracking systems. The maximum rate of fire is 5800 rd/m, and the effective range is up to 3 km.
The Type 039 submarine is a class of diesel-electric submarines of the People's Liberation Army Navy. The class is the first diesel-electric submarine to be fully developed within China and also the first Chinese diesel-electric submarine to use the modern teardrop hull shape.
The Laksamana class is a class of small missile corvettes comprising four ships currently in service with the Royal Malaysian Navy. All four ships of the Laksamana class are currently serving in the 24th corvette Squadron of the Royal Malaysian Navy.
The Type 051C or Luzhou class destroyer is a long-range air-defence guided missile destroyer built by China in its ongoing effort to create a true blue water navy. The ship uses the hull design of the older Type 051B, but is equipped with the advanced Russian S-300FM air defence missiles systems. Currently, two ships of this class have been launched and deployed by People's Liberation Army Navy North Sea Fleet.
The C-704 is a Chinese anti-ship missile. The missile was developed by the third research institute of the Chinese Aerospace Group, also the manufacturer of the C-701.
The Type 071 is a Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) amphibious transport dock. The Type 071 provides the PLAN with capabilities and flexibility not found in its previous landing ships.
The Type 072 landing ship are large landing ships built by Shanghai-based Zhonghua Shipyard in the 1980s to replace the aging World War II-era ex-US Navy L-1511 tank landing ships in service with the PLA Navy. The Type 072 is the PLA Navy’s first indigenous large landing ship. A total of 3 Type 072 are in service all of them are in service with the East Sea Fleet of the People's Liberation Army Navy.
Operations Specialist is a United States Navy and United States Coast Guard occupational rating. It is a sea duty-intensive rating in the Navy while the majority of Coast Guard OS's are at ashore Command Centers.
Marine and aviation radar systems can provide very useful navigation information in a variety of situations. When a vessel is within radar range of land or special radar aids to navigation, the navigator can take distances and angular bearings to charted objects and use these to establish arcs of position and lines of position on a chart. A fix consisting of only radar information is called a radar fix.
The Type 052D destroyer is a class of guided missile destroyers being deployed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force. Currently it is being built at two different Chinese shipyards.
The Durjoy class is a class of large patrol craft (LPC) of the Bangladesh Navy. A total of eight ships of this class are planned and four are serving the Bangladesh Navy as of 2017.
The Danlin class cargo ship is a class of Chinese cargo ship that is in service with People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). Danlin class cargo ship is the armed version of its unarmed sister ship in civilian service, and both entered service between 1960 – 1962.
The Jinyou class oil tanker is a class of Chinese tanker that is in service with People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). A total of three units were built by Japanese Kanashashi Shipyard and entered service with PLAN between 1989 – 1990.

The Type 055 destroyer is a class of guided missile destroyers being constructed for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force. It is a multi-mission design; the combination of sensors and weapons suggests a main role of area air defence, with anti-submarine warfare capabilities surpassing previous Chinese surface combatants.
Type 751 radar is a Chinese navigational radar used by Chinese merchant ships and ships of Chinese navy, and it is the first navigational radar developed by Shanghai 4th Radio Factory, which subsequently also developed many other Chinese navigational radars after this humble beginning. Development begun in October 1963, with a design team led by the deputy general engineer Mr. Zhang Yuan-Zhen (张元震) and Engineer Gu Xie-Xiang (顾燮祥). First sample was completed by the end of 1964, and in September 1965, the radar was installed on the Chinese naval ship Luoyang.
Type 752 radar is a Chinese navigational radar used by Chinese merchant ships and ships of Chinese navy. Developed by Shanghai 4th Radio Factory in the mid-1960s, it’s the first Chinese navigational radar that utilizes transistors. The only vacuum tubes used in this radar system were in the transmitter and display. Development begun in 1965 and was completed in the following year. Om 1969, an improved version Type 752-Jia (752甲) was developed. Type 752 radar utilizes slotted array antenna, which replaced the parabolic antenna previously used on earlier radars and the maximum range is 48 nautical miles. In addition to navigation and surface search, Type 762 onboard Chinese naval vessels is also used as low altitude surveillance radar. In addition to Shanghai 4th Radio Factory, Type 752 radar is also manufactured by Shanghai 101st factory and by the end of 1990s, a total of 1705 were produced.
Type 753 radar is a Chinese navigational radar used by Chinese merchant ships and ships of Chinese navy. Developed by Shanghai 4th Radio Factory in the early 1970s, Type 753 radar is fully transistorized, with a maximum range of 48 nautical miles. In 1979, efforts were made to improve MTBF of this radar, resulting in drastic increase of MTBF, from the original 107 hours in 1978 to 406 hours in 1980. In 1981, the radar achieved a mile stone of continuously operating 1000 hours without failure.
