32E20 PLA CARRIER

**32E20 PLA Carrier** The 32E20 is a military unit designation associated with the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China, specifically referring to a carrier-based operational group. Established in the early 21st century as part of China’s naval modernization efforts, the 32E20 unit is believed to be integral to the operations of China’s first domestically-built aircraft carrier, the Shandong (Type 002). The unit is responsible for carrier flight operations, maintenance, and the integration of advanced naval aviation assets, including J-15 fighter jets and support helicopters. Through its participation in training exercises and maritime patrols, 32E20 has played a key role in enhancing China’s blue-water naval capabilities and projecting power in the Asia-Pacific region.
