Just done a quick tally on the list this is what is realistically ocean capable IE able to deploy anywhere on any ocean and having a range beyond 3,000nm now its a rough guide but it gives you some idea on rough numbers that China can deploy globally if their operational tempo went up.
Large warships
2 CV
8 LPD / LHD / LHA
40 DDG
42 FFG
72 FFL (corvette)
68 SSN / SSK (Haven't included SSBN)
Auxiliaries
13 Oilers
7 Equipment carrying ships (RORO or PCTC)
4 Troop ships
In Build
2 CV
2 LPD / LHA / LHD
10 DDG
1 FFG
4 SSK / SSN
Using the 1/3 rotation meaning at any one time only 2/3 of the fleet are available for use that brings the numbers too this for ocean going warships and auxiliaries.
1CV
3 LHA / LHD / LPD
14 DDG
14 FFG
24 FFL
23 SSN / SSK
2 RoRo / PCTC
3 Troop carriers
5 Oilers
Quite frankly given the size of the oilers 5 of them wont be keeping that lot going for very long.
