From single wooden oars to fleets like rainbows; from near-sea defense to far-sea protection. The 77-year journey of the People's Navy has been condensed into a 7-minute and 7-second themed promotional video titled "Towards the Ocean." Several meaningful details and "Easter eggs" within it have sparked enthusiastic discussions.

In the rapidly edited footage, aircraft carrier formations, amphibious assault ships, submarines, carrier-based fighter jets, carrier-based anti-submarine helicopters, early warning aircraft, hovercraft landing boats, and even shore-based anti-ship missiles and air defense missile systems are all set in motion, launching a barrage of attacks. Amidst the tremendous explosions resulting from precise strikes, the exercise was a complete success. Military expert Song Xiaojun noted that the recently unveiled Z-20F carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter is particularly noteworthy in this footage.

Song Xiaojun: After the Z-20F enters service, its range is very long, exceeding 1,000 kilometers. In addition to conducting anti-submarine operations for its own ship, it can also provide anti-submarine escort for aircraft carriers, offering a highly compatible aerial anti-submarine capability for our country's relatively new large vessels like the 055 and 052D. From this perspective, equipping our domestically produced ships with the Z-20F is indeed a significant highlight. Its appearance in the promotional video has excited everyone.
