Ship naming conventions

Ships of PLAN are named per Naval Vessels Naming Regulation (中国海军舰艇命名条例)[1] that was first issued by the Central Military Commission (CMC) on November 3, 1978, and subsequently revised July 7, 1986.[1] The convention for naming naval ships is as follows;[2]

• Aircraft carriers are named after provinces.
• Nuclear-powered submarines are all named Changzheng (Long March) along with a number.
• Destroyers and frigates are named after cities.
• Smaller anti-submarine ships are named for counties.
• Tank landing ships and dock landing ships carry the names of mountains.
• Infantry landing ships are named for rivers.
• Replenishment ships are named for lakes.

* Figure includes both coastal and ocean-going auxiliaries, from tugboats to hospital ships. Not counted towards total number of active ships.

The tables below list the various ships according to their class and date of commission. The newest class of ship is listed first, with proceeding classes listed afterwards, arranged in order of age. Column headings include: "Type" (i.e. Chinese class designation), the types "NATO designation", the ships "Pennant number" (or hull number), the ships name in English and Chinese (Han 中文), ships "Displacement" in tonnes, and the "Fleet" in which it serves (e.g. North Sea Fleet, South Sea Fleet and East Sea Fleet).

The "Status" column is colour coded, green indicates relatively new and modern classes in service, while red indicates obsolescence and being in the process of decommissioning as newer types are brought into service. A third colour, blue, specifically indicates a ship which is not yet in commission, but has been launched and is in the final stages of construction, or has been handed over for sea trials. Any ships with a status colour of blue is not yet counted towards the total number of active ships.
