Born in artillery fire, grown in battle, and grown in development. Over the past 75 years, the People's Navy has grown from scratch, cleaving waves all the way, crisscrossing the sea, and bravely crossing the ocean; over the past 75 years, the People's Navy has grown from weak to strong, marching all the way to the deep blue, and becoming strong in the sea!
