The 47th Chinese naval escort task force recently conducted multi-subject training exercises in the Gulf of Aden, including underway replenishment, shipborne helicopter drills, and special forces live-fire training.
The escort task force consists of the guided-missile destroyer Baotou (Hull 133), guided-missile frigate Honghe (Hull 523), and comprehensive supply ship Gaoyouhu (Hull 904), carrying two ship-borne helicopters and over 700 mission members including dozens of special operations soldiers.
During replenishment operations, the Baotou successfully received over 100 tons of supplies from the Gaoyouhu while maintaining precise navigation alignment.
The task force subsequently completed the shipborne helicopter flight drills and small arms live-fire drills for marine special forces personnel.
The exercises enhanced the formation's rapid support capacity and combat readiness in complex maritime environments. The mission further strengthened officers and soldiers' operational capabilities in the open sea.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Israel's Channel 14 on Monday that he had instructed the Israeli military and relevant agencies to topple the Iranian government.
Netanyahu said he had given the directives to the Israel Defense Forces, Israeli intelligence and special services (Mossad), and the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate to overthrow the Iranian authorities.
Speaking about the upcoming parliamentary elections in Israel, Netanyahu claimed that if the opposition comes to power after the vote, it could lead to thousands of Palestinians entering Israel, posing a threat to the country.
Also on that day, Netanyahu posted on social media that he had spoken by phone with U.S. President Donald Trump after receiving Trump's support for his participation in Israel's parliamentary elections.
The two sides will join forces to completely eliminate the threat from Iran, Netanyahu said. He called on Israeli voters to cast their ballots for his Likud Party in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Israelis are set to vote on Oct. 27, in the first national elections since October 2023.
