QINGDAO, June 19 (ChinaMil) -- A ceremony for the commissioning, naming and flag-presenting of the supply ship "Taihu", a new-type comprehensive supply ship developed independently by China, was held yesterday morning at a naval port in Qingdao in east China's Shandong province, marking that the ship is officially commissioned to the Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLAN).

The supply ship "Taihu" (hull No. 889) was launched in March 2012. It belongs to a new-generation of large ocean-going comprehensive supply ships developed independently by China, and is also the first supply ship of this type commissioned to the North China Sea Fleet of the PLAN.

After commissioned to a combat support ship flotilla under the North China Sea Fleet, the supply ship "Taihu" will join ship formations to provide destroyers and frigates with underway or anchoring supply at sea in wartime and accompany destroyers and frigates to carry out such missions as oceangoing voyages and visiting foreign countries in peacetime.
