In history, Qingdao has a close relationship with the growth of the Chinese navy. Many arms of the Navy were born here and began to mature. In early 1950, the first naval aviation school was completed in Qingdao. Soon after, the first antiaircraft artillery unit of the navy was established in Qingdao, and the first coastal artillery regiment of the navy was established in Tuandao, Qingdao. Two years later, China's first submarine base was built in Qingdao. In June 1954, the first submarine unit of the navy was established here. Qingdao has deep feelings with the Navy, and Qingdao citizens have a strong feeling of supporting the army. They will fully support the holding of the sea celebration.
As an important coastal central city and coastal defense town in China, Qingdao has witnessed the glorious journey of the people's navy. Since the founding of new China, many units and military academies such as the Qingdao naval base and the North Sea fleet have been set up in Qingdao, creating many 'firsts' in the history of the people's navy in Qingdao, and writing a brilliant chapter in the history of Qingdao.
Restricted by conditions, several land parades in recent years only showed some personnel and equipment of navy navy navy Squadron, coastal defense missiles, carrier based aircraft, etc., most of which could not be seen. In the sea parade, the equipment of the Navy's five main arms, including submarines, surface vessels, aviation, coastal defense and Marine Corps, can be fully displayed, and the audience can have a more comprehensive understanding of the construction achievements of the navy in the 70 years since its establishment.
