A foreign warship lost power when tracking the Zunyi, a Type 055 large destroyer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, which was on a daily training exercise, a Chinese crew member unveiled on Wednesday.

Zhang Jun, an officer with the rank of captain on the Zunyi, recalled during the report on China Central Television's (CCTV) military channel that the destroyer had many encounters with foreign warships and aircraft during the exercise, matching both wits and courage.

"During that mission, we were conducting routine training exercises when a foreign warship began tracking our ship. As we sailed at high speed, the foreign vessel had to sail at high speed. While we were in a standoff, its power and electricity all suddenly went out, its radar stopped emitting, and its navigation lights went dark," Zhang said.
