On July 10, 1986, the "Naval Ship Naming Regulations" were supplemented and revised. The general principles are: different from the names of ships in other countries and regions in the world; different from local ship names in China; strong organization and easy to remember; clear pronunciation and difficult to confuse each other; loud and meaningful names that can reflect the dignity of the motherland. It shows China's long history and culture; it can withstand the test of history, be used for a long time, and can meet the needs of equipment development for a long time.
Cruisers are named after administrative provinces (districts) or phrases;
Destroyers and frigates are named after large and medium-sized cities;
In order to avoid duplication or crossover of ships phenomenon, the awarding of People's Navy ship names must be strictly divided by region. That is, the jurisdiction of the North Sea Fleet is based on 14 provinces and cities in North China, Northeast China, and Northwest China (Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan); the East China Sea Fleet The area under its jurisdiction uses the place names of 7 provinces and cities in East China and the Xinjiang Autonomous Region (Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Xinjiang); the area under the jurisdiction of the South China Sea Fleet uses the place names of 9 provinces and cities in South China and Southwest China (Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan , Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet).
There is generally no special relationship between the names of frigates and the corresponding cities, but local governments often promote warships named after their own cities when conducting dual support activities.
