Background
July 22, 1954, the Navy in Qingdao to set up an independent submarine brigade, on the 23rd, Chen Yi by the invitation of the Navy Commander Xiao Jingguang, on the same day, inspected the independent submarine brigade has just been set up, and passionately wrote a poem "submarine on the question".
Navy is one of the oldest military in the history of mankind, in Chinese characters called "water army" or "water division", can be traced back to the development of ancient human seafaring trade, maritime plunder and self-defense. For example, the Phoenicians in 1400 BC to protect the Syrian coast across the Mediterranean Sea to establish colonies and trade activities, the construction and use of three rows of oars seat warships in the sea to fight with the enemy.
With the progress of shipbuilding technology and the Industrial Revolution, naval vessels from human oars, wind-powered sailing ships to the turbine power, the range increased greatly; naval force is also due to the invention of artillery from the sailors boarded the ship of the close-range fighting evolved to a long-distance fire shooting.
World War II, the naval combat model changed dramatically, the huge guns and thick armor of the battleships gradually withdrew from the world stage, replaced by submarines and aircraft carriers in the air force of active, but also in the period broke out in the history of the largest naval battles - the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
After the war, the invention of nuclear energy allowed ships to have nearly unlimited range, and weapons evolved into longer-range and more sophisticated missiles, allowing the Navy to extend its influence to a wider range.
Navies have played an important role in world history, including the establishment of global colonies and maritime hegemony by Spain, France, and the United Kingdom, the Battle of the Atlantic and the Pacific War between the United States and Japan in World War II, and the Cold War race for global naval power between the United Kingdom and Argentina and the Falklands War, until today's large-scale wars have ceased to exist, and in their place countries have maintained smaller-scale navies.
