US navy commander visits Chinese fleet
美海軍司令訪問中國艦隊
The U.S. naval commander in charge of this year's RIMPAC drill visited the Chinese fleet at the weekend.
周末,負責今年環太演習的美國海軍司令參觀了中國艦隊。
Accompanied by Zhao Xiaogang, drill director of the Chinese fleet, Vice Admiral Kenneth E. Floyd visited the missile destroyer Haikou, the missile frigate Yueyang, the supply ship Qiandaohu and the hospital ship Peace Ark.
在中國艦隊演習主任趙小剛的陪同下,海軍副上將Kenneth E. Floyd參觀了海口號驅逐艦導彈、岳陽號護衛艦導彈、千島湖號補給艦千島湖和和平方舟號醫療艦。
Floyd said that the United States would continue to invite the Chinese navy to the exercise and looks forward to China's broader and deeper participation in the drills. The Chinese fleet arrived in Pearl Harbor on Tuesday.
Floyd說美國將繼續邀請中國海軍演習,并期待中國參與更廣泛、更深入的演習。中古艦隊將在周二抵達珍珠港。
This is the first time the Chinese navy has taken part. RIMPAC began in 1971. It is the world's largest multinational maritime military exercise. Twenty-three countries are at this year's drill, which is scheduled for July 9 to 30.
自1971年環太開始以來,這是中國海軍第一次曾參加。環太軍演是世界上最大的多國海上軍事演習。今年有23個國家參加演習,本次演習安排在7月9日至30日之間。
