USNI News: 3 Chinese Warships Visit Pearl Harbor During Global Relationship-Building Tour
Three Chinese warships arrived at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Sunday for a multiday port visit and relationship-building event, the latest in a series of goodwill visits with Western navies.
The People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) ships – CNS Jinan (DDG-152), CNS Yiyan (FFG-548), and CNS Qiandaohu (AOE-886) – will stay in Hawaii until Thursday and are considered guests of three Navy ships: USS Preble (DDG-88), USS Chosin (CG-65), and USS Chung-Hoon (DDG-93).
“This routine port visit will give Chinese sailors an opportunity to interact with their U.S. counterparts and demonstrate parity and reciprocity between two maritime nations,” according to a Navy statement.
