China's 48th naval escort task force steamed back into port in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, on Friday – 378 days, 150,000 nautical miles and 423 escorted ships later. During its deployment in the Gulf of Aden, the task force ran round-the-clock drills in armed rescue and helicopter ops, took part in joint naval exercises with South Africa and Pakistan, and turned out for a parade marking 50 years of Seychelles independence. There were port calls too: goodwill visits to Bangladesh, Myanmar and Malaysia, as well as technical stops in Oman, Kenya, Singapore and beyond. #China #navy #escort 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-10-23/China-s-48th-naval-escort-task-force-back-after-Gulf-of-Aden-mission-1RtWnY0ksAU/p.html Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
