Those are amphibious fighting vehicles, used for landing from the sea. The sea, as we know, are blue colored.

  These are amphibious? http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/1600_640/images/live/p0/3n/y4/p03ny4g9.jpg http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/1600_640/images/live/p0/3...

    These are not. But they belong to the same unit of those amphibious light tanks, so used the same camouflage. During a landing operation, these long range rockets are likely deployed on the decks of flotilla as artillery support for the beachhead assault.

      Those are transporter erector launchers for the YJ-62 anti-ship cruise missile. They are deployed as shore-based defensive batteries. The coloring is likely intended to make them blend in with the sky (when viewed from the ocean surface) and the surf zone (when viewed from above). As for deploying rocket artillery on ships, that wouldn't be a good idea. Firing platforms need to be better secured in order to be used from a ship. Regardless, China doesn't have many amphibious assault ships with significant clear deck space.
