China's naval forces are making big waves—and CGTN's new documentary 'Generation Blue Water' is pulling back the curtain on this high-stakes transformation. 🎥 From fighter jet pilots to submarine crews, the series spotlights the people driving the PLA Navy's leap into cutting-edge maritime capabilities.
Epic in Three Acts 🎬
The 50-minute documentary packs a punch with three adrenaline-fueled chapters:
🦈 'The Flying Sharks': Follow J-15 fighter jet pilots as they master carrier landings—a feat once called 'ballet on a postage stamp.'
🌍 'The Blue Water Dream': Track China's next-gen destroyers and submarines patrolling distant waters.
🕊️ 'Strength for Peace': See how humanitarian missions and anti-piracy ops shape the Navy's global role.
Beyond the Tech 💡
While showcasing advanced hardware like the Type 055 destroyer, the documentary zooms in on personal stories—like a sailor's first deployment and an engineer's late-night eureka moment. 'We're not just building ships,' says one officer. 'We're navigating history.' ⚓
With drone shots of aircraft carriers and never-before-seen training footage, Generation Blue Water drops anchor this week on CGTN's streaming platforms—perfect timing as global attention shifts to maritime security.
