First, the selection conditions are stricter.
China's basic services can be divided into army, air force, navy, rocket army and armed police. Among them, the air force can be said to have the strictest selection conditions, followed by the navy. The navy is mainly faced with future maritime operations, so in terms of physical fitness, it has higher requirements than the ground combat troops such as the army and the rocket army. For example, whether it can adapt to long-term sailing operations.
Second, the navy includes other services.
The future naval battle is a very complicated battlefield, and the equipment it uses requires the comprehensive quality of soldiers. Often including amphibious operations and so on. Therefore, the navy first needs to have a certain knowledge and level of marine operations, and secondly needs to have the capabilities of other services such as the Army Rocket Force and the Air Force. For example, aircraft carriers need naval forces to carry out precise strikes, including the air force's take-off and landing attacks on aircraft carriers.
Third, the navy is the service that needs the most funds.
Aircraft carrier is the basic standard to measure a country's naval capability. A country with an aircraft carrier is like having a needle to anchor the sea. Therefore, the navy needs more funds and higher technology than the air force. Under the background of globalization, the future battlefield must be dominated by navy and air force. Therefore, General Liu Huaqing proposed to build his own aircraft carrier, which is why the navy is the service that needs the most funds.
