At the beginning, the Northern Fleet was the most valued because it wanted to protect the north of the Han country. The four new King Kong purchased from the eagle country were deployed to the north. However, now, the first aegis warship of the Han country is assigned to the southern fleet, which also reflects a change in the strategy of the Han country.
In the past, the most important thing of Han was the north, because there were strong enemies in the north and the sea was the east gate of Han's capital. Therefore, it must be protected. However, now, with the enhancement of Han's national strength and the gradual easing of relations with the north, Han will face fewer and fewer dangers in the north.
But at the same time, with the continuous development of Han's economy, Han's economy began to rely more and more on maritime trade. In the trade between Han and Europe, Han's southern sea area must be taken. Therefore, it has become a busy sea route, which also means the transformation of Han's strategic focus. If Han can't protect its maritime transportation, Han's economy may suffer a heavy blow.
In this case, the Han country must pay attention to the southern sea area. Fortunately, this has been deployed in advance in the Han country. This is the naval aviation base built by the Han country in the southern sea area. It is not only fighters, but also bombers when needed. At the same time, the Han country is still on some small islands and reefs, Scattered VTOL fighter bases were established, which effectively protected the safety of Han's maritime route.
However, these alone are not enough. Therefore, the next main goal of Han is to vigorously expand the fleet size in the southern waters.
It can also be seen from the allocation of side numbers that among the three fleets, the destroyer's side numbers allocated to the fleet in the southern sea area are the most.
The first aegis warship of the Chinese navy was also deployed in the southern sea area. There are various considerations. In the southern sea area, it may face air threats. Only this special air defense warship can protect the safety of the sea.
Now, No. 167, is finally going to serve in the fleet in the southern sea!
Qin Guan also sighed when he saw the ship. In the history of parallel time and space, No. 167 was an embarrassing warship. Because of the tension with the west, the Han country could not obtain advanced ship power, and even was forced to use steam turbines to drive the warship. The displacement of the warship was not small, but the weapon system on it was similar to that of Lvhu class, It can be said that it is actually a chicken rib.
Now it's different. Now No. 167 is the first aegis warship in the Han country and the most powerful air defense warship. Its performance is enough to take pride in the whole surrounding countries!
Qin Guan stepped onto the rostrum in exclamation. At this time, a large group of people had been waiting there.
First, the national anthem was played. When the national song sounded, everyone was singing along. For a time, the whole base echoed with sonorous and powerful songs.
"Now, on behalf of the shipyard, I will hand over the first ship of the class 052 destroyer to the Navy. Please accept it!" now the leader of the shipyard is talking. Although a large number of sailors have been on board during the sea trial, theoretically speaking, the destroyer still belongs to the shipyard. After this handover, Will hand over the command of the destroyer to the Navy.
"On behalf of the southern fleet, I accept this destroyer and give it the port number 167. I hope it can inherit the tenacious fighting spirit of our navy and protect the sea border of the motherland!" the commander of the southern Fleet said solemnly.
At the end of this grand ceremony, the command was transferred from the shipyard to the Navy. Then, the second ceremony was that the Admiral handed over the ship to the captain.
Captain Wei has been impatient for a long time.
In fact, the destroyer No. 111 operated by Captain Wei in the past is also a 10000 ton destroyer, and its displacement is even better than that of the current No. 167. Moreover, it also belongs to the Northern Fleet. However, after hearing the news of the warship's entry into service, Captain Wei made several reports and asked to be the captain of the destroyer. For him, it was a flat tone, so, Considering various factors, finally, the superior agreed to his request and appointed him captain of No. 167.
Some people will feel puzzled, but those who are most familiar with him know that although the former No. 111 is very advanced, it is a warship made by the eagle country after all, while the current No. 167 is a warship built by our own side. Driving such a warship will give people a sense of pride and glory.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the air defense capability of the dual arm launcher of No. 111 is definitely not comparable to the combination of the current vertical launch system and phased array radar.
Captain Wei has been sailing on the sea for several years. In fact, he is qualified to be upgraded one or two more levels. But in this case, he will have to leave the warship and go to the onshore headquarters. This must be the most painful for him. Therefore, he has always refused to upgrade himself. In this way, he has stayed at the sea. Only the sea is his favorite.
Now, his heart is surging and he has a handover ceremony with the admiral.
"Please rest assured that all officers and soldiers on our 167 will live up to their mission, become a team that dare to fight and fight, and build our 167 into an unsinkable aircraft carrier, our ace ship and our flagship."
With the entry into service of No. 167, the flagship of the fleet will fall on this warship. In the future, the Admiral may often take it.
After accepting the command of ship 167, Captain Wei was responsible for the next ceremony. Although he had long passed the age of carelessness, his voice trembled because of excitement.
"Raise the national flag, the bow flag and the sea flag!" Wei shouted loudly.
One side of the flag was raised. Among the colored flags, these raised flags looked more beautiful and atmospheric. Then, Captain Wei and his deputy captain aligned their watches. Of course, it was a ceremony. Their water watches are now the same minute and second.
Next, we are about to enter the climax of the ceremony. With the sailmen blowing their whistle at the top of the ship, the captain loudly issued an order to the crew still on the shore: "comrades, now get on the ship!"
The soldiers left on the shore began to run on the ship in groups according to the original plan. At this time, the officers on the ship and the visitors on the shore clapped their hands to encourage them.
As they boarded the ship, even if the huge warship officially entered the Navy sequence and the hands of the young men of the Navy, their faces were full of excited expressions. As the crew of No. 167, they were also the best soldiers selected from various warships. Now, they are full of confidence.
