The PLAN can trace its lineage to naval units fighting during the Chinese Civil War and was established in September 1. Throughout the 1. Soviet Union provided assistance to the PLAN in the form of naval advisers and export of equipment and technology. Until the late 1. PLAN was largely a riverine and littoral force brown water navy. However, by the 1. Soviet Union and a shift towards a more forward oriented foreign and security policy, the leaders of the Chinese military were freed from worrying over land border disputes, and instead turned their attention towards the seas.

PLAN had traditionally played a subordinate role to the Peoples Liberation Army Ground Force. In 2. 00. 8, General Qian Lihua confirmed that China plans to operate a small fleet of aircraft carriers in the near future, but for the purpose of regional defence as opposed to global reach. As of 2. PLA officials have also outlined plans to operate in the first and second island chains. Chinese strategists term the development of the PLAN from a green water navy into a regional blue water defensive and offensive navy. The Peoples Liberation Army Navy is composed of five branches the Submarine Force, the Surface Force, the Coastal Defense Force, the Marine Corps and the Naval Air Force.

North Sea Fleet, East Sea Fleet, and South Sea Fleet, and a corps of admirals and other naval officers was established from the ranks of the ground forces. In shipbuilding the Soviets first assisted the Chinese, then the Chinese copied Soviet designs without assistance, and finally the Chinese produced vessels of their own design. Eventually Soviet assistance progressed to the point that a joint Sino Soviet Pacific Ocean fleet was under discussion. Through the upheavals of the late 1. Navy remained relatively undisturbed. Under the leadership of Minister of National Defense Lin Biao, large investments were made in naval construction during the frugal years immediately after the Great Leap Forward. During the Cultural Revolution, a number of top naval commissars and commanders were purged, and naval forces were used to suppress a revolt in Wuhan in July 1.

While under his leadership Naval construction yards produced fewer ships than the 1. Modernization efforts also encompassed higher educational and technical standards for personnel reformulation of the traditional coastal defense doctrine and force structure in favor of more green water operations and training in naval combined arms operations involving submarine, surface, naval aviation, and coastal defense forces.
