===PLA Navy===
The PLA Navy had a 335-ship fleet as of 2019, about 55 percent larger than in 2005. Based on this expansion speed, the PLA Navy fleet is projected to have more than 450 ships and about 110 submarines by 2030.<ref>https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2020/3/9/eagle-vs-dragon-how-the-us-and-chinese-navies-stack-up</ref> China currently has two carriers. The ''[[Liaoning (16)|Liaoning]]'' entered service in 2012. The nation’s first fully indigenously built carrier, the ''Shandong'', entered service in late 2020. Comparatively, the [[U.S. Navy]] had 293 ships in 2019, an increase of just two in the last 15 years.
