Zheng He was the first domestically designed and built oceangoing training ship.[1] Its visit to Pearl Harbor in 1989 was the PLA’s first port visit to the United States since 1949.[3]

The ship circumnavigated Earth between April to September 2012.[4] When the ship left Dalian on 17 April, it was expected to be the first such voyage by a lone Chinese training vessel.[1]
