Are China's three 055 destroyers conducting long-range replenishment training just to support the 815?"
According to a report from the U.S. "Defense News" on July 15, three Chinese 055 destroyers, the Yan'an, Zunyi, and Xianyang, were simultaneously seen near the South China Sea for mutual replenishment training. At the same time, the U.S. was conducting its largest-ever air exercises. The Chinese navy's carrier strike group has the capability to attack, and many media outlets have stated that it is a response to the U.S. Navy and Air Force.
China's navy isn't so idle, every time the U.S. moves, we respond. The issue of our overseas base is an important one under the current circumstances where we have very few overseas bases. Various attempts are just efforts to provide more options for wartime. Moreover, the U.S. air exercises have already reached their optimal observation position. Therefore, the joint training of the three ships is just a regular exercise and has no connection with the U.S. military.
