The Pakistan Navy: a Transformation from ‘Fledgling Force’ to ‘Fighting Machine’ Abhijit Singh*
Abhijit Singh FocusThe Pakistan Navy: A Transformation from ‘Fledgling Force’ to ‘Fighting Machine’ Abhijit Singh* The Pakistan navy (PN) is poised on the brink of a transformation. Neglected for long by Pakistan’s political masters and a dominant Pakistan army, the PN was unable to assert its salience and witnessed slow growth. But in the one decade since the September 2001 attacks and the US led ‘war on terror’, it has undergone a striking metamorphosis. As Pakistan realises the importance of having a robust maritime force and commits greater resources for its development, the tactics of the PN and its broader strategy in the northern Arabian Sea too have undergone a shift. An enhanced international profile and greater credibility for its role in regional maritime order is gradually resulting in the PN becoming a more confident and assertive player, and a major stakeholder in the regional maritime security regime. In December 2010, the Pakistan chief of naval staff, Admiral Noman1 Bashir, speaking onnot the attract sidelines much ofattention the Defence at the Services time, but Asia in the (DSA) months exhibition, that have commented followed, it that has the Pakistan navy was on the cusp of a dramatic transformation .

Virtually every part of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) now reports to different leaders, has had its mission and Chairman Xi Remakes the PLA Xi Remakes Chairman responsibilities changed, has lost or gained subordinate units, or has undergone a major internal reorganization. Drawing on papers presented at two conferences co-organized by the U.S. National Defense University, RAND, and Taiwan’s Council REFORMS MILITARY CHINESE ASSESSING of Advanced Policy Studies, this edited volume brings together some of the world’s best experts on the Chinese military to analyze the various dimensions of the reforms in detail and assess their implications for the PLA’s ability to conduct joint operations, for the Chinese Communist Party’s control of the army, and for civil-military integration. The contributors review the drivers and strategic context under- pinning the reform effort, explore the various dimensions of PLA efforts to build a force capable of conducting joint operations, con- sider the implications for the PLA services, and examine Xi Jinping’s role in driving the reforms through and using them to strengthen control over the military. The chapters chronicle successes and outstanding problems in the reform effort, and consider what the net effect will be as the PLA strives to become a “world- class” military by mid-century, if not much sooner.

The expanding readership of NMF’s scholarship on current strategic, maritime and related geopolitical issues has been encouraging. This is disseminated in the form of View Points and Issue Briefs through the Foundation website, as also through its annual publication ‘Maritime Perspectives’, which puts together analyses of events and developments in the Indian Ocean, the Asia Pacific and beyond. -

ALEXANDRE SHELDON-DUPLAIX ABSTRACT: In May 2015, the Information Office of the State Council published a new white paper on China’s military strategy stating that “overseas interests [had become] an imminent issue.” Accordingly, China has embarked on a build-up aimed at making itself into a “sea power,” mainly in the Indo-Pacific region, in order to deter a US intervention in Taiwan and to protect its trade in the Indian Ocean. China has acquired a medium-sized aircraft carrier with a tenth of the capability of a US super-carrier and is learning the ropes as fast as the more experienced and poorer Russia did in the early 1990s. As a source of pride to its citizens, China’s aircraft carrier program plays into the hands of the Communist Party to demonstrate its legitimacy and success. -

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/160 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The People's Liberation Army Navy: The Motivations Behind Beijing's Naval Modernization Abstract Throughout its history, China has always been a land power with strong continental traditions. As a result, the navy was rarely the subject of attention for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Starting in the mid-1990s, however, Beijing started to devote considerable resources to improve the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). This modernization has been enthusiastically pursued until today and China’s improved maritime capabilities have been catching the attention of the United States and China’s neighbors in East Asia. Countries are wary of Beijing’s intentions in acquiring new fleets, questioning the implications this buildup may have for the security landscape in the region. This thesis aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on Chinese naval modernization by exploring the motivations behind China’s aggressive seaward turn. In addition, this study will assess Beijing’s accomplishments thus far with the program and compare its nautical capabilities with those of the three selected countries with naval presence in East Asia—the Philippines, Japan, and the United States. -

The advent of the Type 055 cruiser firmly places the PLAN among the world’s very top naval services. This study, which draws upon a unique set of Chinese-language writings, offers the first comprehensive look at this new, large surface combatant. It reveals a ship that has a stealthy design, along with a potent and seemingly well-integrated sensor suite.
