“Their fleet size is around 370. They'll be at 450 before you know it.” View on YouTube
As of 2026, estimates of China's naval fleet size vary widely by source and counting methodology (roughly 787-1,005+ ships depending on the source), and it is not clearly reported as having grown specifically to ~450 hulls; too imprecise to confirm or deny against this specific figure.
