151213-N-ZK021-002 – JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM (Dec. 13, 2015) – Chinese citizens wave flags as the People’s Liberation Army-Navy PLA(N) ships CNS Jinan (DDG-152), CNS Yiyan (FFG-548), and CNS Qiandaohu (AOE-886) arrive in Hawaii for a scheduled port visit. The routine port visit will give Chinese sailors an opportunity to interact with their U.S. counterparts. As part of a planned series of military-to-military exchanges between two nations, Chinese and U.S. naval officers will conduct dialogues to build confidence and mutual understanding. During the port visit American and Chinese sailors plan to engage in deckplate level events including touring each other’s ships and participating in sporting events.
