Abstract: With rising contestations regarding maritime sovereignty in the Western Pacific and widening footprints, the Chinese navy is the cynosure of strategic and military analysts. It is therefore appropriate to review some of the major factors that influence its naval build up. This commentary serves as a primer on basic roles and types of fleet 1 and helps contextualize and complement the enormous volume of information on the subject.
