Summary

Machine summary

The China-Singapore 'Maritime Cooperation-2026' joint exercise opened September 5 at a naval port in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, with the PLAN missile frigate Dali and the Republic of Singapore Navy frigate RSS Steadfast as the two participating vessels; the maritime phase begins September 8 and will include joint surface strike, maritime replenishment, and submarine search and rescue drills. This is the fifth iteration of the bilateral series, and the article documents a steady, incremental expansion of the exercise's professional scope — submarine search and rescue and underwater medicine are listed as port-phase exchange topics alongside the more standard communications and replenishment drills. What remains unknown is whether the exercise involves any additional PLAN or RSN assets beyond the two named frigates.
