国防部：深蓝是航母永恒的方向
MND: Aircraft Carriers Are Destined for the Deep Blue
11月14日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。
记者：据报道，中国海军称福建舰常驻地为三亚军港。有分析认为，中国在南海地区越来越积极地维护领土主张，并寻求在更远区域投射海军力量，可能引起部分国家担忧。请问发言人有何评论？
Question: According to media reports, the PLA Navy has confirmed that aircraft carrier PLANS Fujian is based at a military port in Sanya. Some analysts suggest that China will be more active in upholding its territorial claims in the South China Sea and seek to project naval forces to farther areas, which may raise concerns among certain countries. What’s your comment?
蒋斌：中国坚持走和平发展道路，坚定奉行防御性国防政策，中国军队始终是维护世界和平的坚定力量。福建舰母港位置选择，是根据军港水文条件、周边配套保障设施建设，以及便于航母执行海上战备训练任务等因素确定的。正如我的海军战友们所说，国家利益所至，舰艇航迹必达，深蓝才是航母永恒的方向。
Jiang Bin: China adheres to the path of peaceful development and follows a national defense policy that is defensive in nature. The Chinese military remains a staunch force for world peace. The selection of the home port for aircraft carrier PLANS Fujian is determined based on factors such as the hydrological conditions of the military port, the location and construction of supporting facilities, and the convenience for the aircraft carrier to carry out maritime combat readiness and training missions. Our navy colleagues say that PLAN vessels will sail to wherever necessary for the protection of China’s national interests. For an aircraft carrier, the deep blue is where it is destined for.
