在众多海军活动中，还包括一场海上阅兵式。不少外媒都盛赞海上阅舰式展现中国海军实力。

英国《金融时报》评论说中国通过海上阅兵展示日渐壮大的海军实力，建立起同外国海军的联系、激发民族自豪感。

China will showcase its rapidly growing naval power this week with a parade at sea aimed at signalling its strengths to rivals, building ties with other militaries and rallying patriotic feelings at home.本周，中国将通过海上阅兵展示其快速增强的海军实力，向其对手展示实力、与他国军队打造友好关系，并在国内激发民族自豪感。After more than two decades of growing military spending, China is transforming a navy once limited to coastal defence into a force capable of patrolling its near seas and venturing out into the high seas globally - two steps it considers vital for protecting its national interests.随着20多年来国防投入的不断增加，中国正将曾局限于近海防御的海军转化为一支海上劲旅，不仅能在近海开展巡逻活动，还能进入全球公海--这被中国视为保护其国家利益的至关重要的两个步骤。"The biggest areas of PLAN progress seem to me to be in their advanced [guided missile destroyers and the Type 55 'cruiser', all of which appear to be equipped with anti-air warfare systems similar to Aegis," said Bernard Cole, a retired US naval officer. "中国海军取得进展的最大领域似乎是其先进的导弹驱逐舰和055型战舰，所有这些舰只似乎都装备了与宙斯盾系统类似的防空作战系统"，美国海军退役军官伯纳德·科尔表示。
