早在十五世纪初,中国已经拥有一支世界顶尖级的舰队。当然,那时还没有舰艇的叫法,舰队还只能称为船队。公元1405年至1433年,这支船队在“三宝太监”郑和统率下,七次纵横大海远渡重洋,遍历东南亚及南亚,最远到达非洲东海岸及红海沿岸,开辟了中国也是世界上最早的大航海时代。 As early as the beginning of the fifteenth century, China already had a world-class fleet. Of course, there was no such thing as a naval ship at that time, and the fleet could only be called a fleet. From 1405 to 1433 AD, the fleet traveled across the sea in seven vertical and horizontal directions over Southeast Asia and South Asia as far as the “Sambo eunuch” and the farthest reaches of the east coast of Africa and the coast of the Red Sea, opening up China’s The world’s oldest sailing era.
