The PLA completed the King George V Dock in 1921 and reserved land to the north for a fourth dock, never built.

Modern VLSI processors instead use matrices of field effect transistors to build the ROM and / or PLA structures used to control the processor as well as its internal sequencer in a microcoded implementation.

The PLA naval vessels participated in naval exercises with the French frigates Nivôse and Prairial, as well as exercises with the Peruvian Navy.
