Naval force displays strength in sea parade for National Day
Vietnam staged its first large-scale naval parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2 morning. The spectacle, staged off Cam Ranh military base in the south central coastal province of Khanh Hoa, featured the Navy, Coast Guard, Border Guard, and standing maritime militia, showcasing an arsenal of modern vessels and equipment. These forces form the backbone of Vietnam’s strategy to assert and defend its sacred sovereignty over seas and islands. VNA Photo/Photo by courtesy
