In May 2020, the Shandong ship began its military mission at sea, marking its first voyage training since entering the fleet and indicating that the Shandong ship has initially formed combat effectiveness. In the past five years, the Shandong aircraft carrier has made multiple "firsts" in China's aircraft carrier industry, exploring a unique path for the development of China's aircraft carrier industry. The Shandong aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier in China to be fully independently designed, built, and equipped, and is an important strategic deterrent force for our country. In December 2019, the Shandong aircraft carrier was officially commissioned, marking the beginning of the Chinese Navy's era of domestically produced aircraft carriers. Going out to sea and exploring the ocean, the Shandong ship successfully completed more than 10 major training tasks, including the first live combat and the first cross regional maneuver, from Bohai Sea experiments to South China Sea training, from offshore training to offshore deployment. Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Shandong aircraft carrier formation, the trajectory is also constantly extending and refreshing. In December 2020, the Shandong ship crossed the Taiwan Strait for cross regional maneuvering; In May 2021, we departed from the South China Sea to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests; In August 2022, actual use of weapons by the organization; In April 2023, participate in the "Joint Sword" exercise; In October 2024, the Liaoning and Shandong aircraft carrier formations conducted their first dual carrier formation exercise, marking a new stage in the combat capability of China's aircraft carrier formation system.
