Information About

North Sea Fleet




It is the only Chinese fleet that includes nuclear powered submarines: five ''Han'' Class Attack Submarines and China's single ''Xia'' Class Ballistic Missile Submarine , all based at Qingdao.

The NSF has historically received primacy during the allocation of the destroyers and frigates, as its role was to be coastal defence of north east China (including Beijing ) against any amphibious attacks by Russia. However, unlike the East and South Sea Fleet s, it has not been involved in combat.
