Navy Shandong Ship: Great Power Ship Heading for Deep Blue
China Military Network reporter Zhao Songyan Correspondent Mei Bingxin
As the night gradually closed, the dark blue sea was gently cut by a rising steel arc. Suddenly, a silver "flying shark" jumped up from the end of the arc. When it reaches the mid-air, two tail flames melt into the orange-red afterglow, like a powerful oil painting, frozen in the sea and sky. In the more than 900 days and nights since
was listed, the figure of the first domestically-made aircraft carrier Shandong ship entered the screen in front of the eyes of the Chinese people from the distant sea, becoming the desktop wallpaper, chat background, social avatar... Whenever you open your phone, staring at the aircraft carrier The scene of the and the fighter jets "in the same frame" together patrolling the sea and the sky, passion surged in my heart, this moment connects the great power and every ordinary person -
In the deep blue of the thousands of miles of sea, there is peace of mind.
(1) Bearing the heavy trust, set sail
took off from the domestic aircraft carrier with the domestic carrier-based fighter , which was the long-cherished wish of Wang Wei, the "sea and air guardian". More than ten years later, in the sea and air where he once guarded, the Shandong ship arrived as he wished.
In the course of the development of my country's aircraft carrier, the Shandong ship is a leap from "1" to "2", and also a breakthrough from "0" to "1". As my country's first domestically-made aircraft carrier, it is like a chess piece that gently falls, causing countless waves on the journey of the People's Navy to brave the ocean.
The giant ship Qingmeng, the sword points to dark blue. The magnificent track of the Shandong ship begins at the shining origin-
On December 17, 2019, my country's first domestically-made aircraft carrier Shandong ship was delivered to the navy. President Xi personally attended the handover and commissioning ceremony, and personally awarded the August 1st military flag and named it. Certificate, and boarded the ship to inspect and inspect the troops, and encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts to make new contributions to the party and the people. Only half a month later, President Xi once again mentioned the struggle of the officers and soldiers of the Shandong ship in his 2020 New Year's message. The concern of the leaders of
has inspired and inspired the officers and soldiers of the Shandong ship. "I deeply feel that President Xi attaches great importance to the development of the aircraft carrier business. We must go all out to repay President Xi's care and entrustment with practical actions."
A new starting point and a heavy responsibility. From the test of receiving the ship to the combat readiness training, the officers and soldiers of the Shandong ship have always kept in mind Chairman Xi's entrustment, and successfully completed major tasks such as the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, the actual use of weapons, and cross-regional maneuver training. The first victory."

(2) I don't wait, just fight for the day and night
Ten years ago, the entry of Liaoning ship opened the prelude to the era of my country's aircraft carriers, and also made "aircraft carrier style" a distinct symbol of the times.
Ten years later, on the deck of the Shandong ship, Wang Dengnan, the take-off assistant, is guiding the carrier-based fighter jets to take off. Crouching down and pointing a finger in the air, the J-15 carrier-based fighter roared towards the blue sky.
performed the release operation on the flight deck known as "the most dangerous 4.5 acres in the world". Wang Dengnan's battle position was less than 20 meters away from the aircraft engine. With the helmet and earmuffs on, it still can't completely resist the strong airflow and the shocking roar. However, as a key juncture to ensure the safe take-off of carrier-based fighter jets, Wang Dengnan's operation must not fail at all. He always requires himself to be precise, standard and efficient.
In the ever-changing naval battlefield, the dispatching efficiency of carrier-based fighter jets is related to the system combat capability of the entire aircraft carrier formation. As soon as transshipment scheduling is faster, the odds of winning will be reduced.One more. For more than two years since the Shandong ship was commissioned, Wang Dengnan led the launch team to continue to study, and refreshed the maximum number of continuous takeoffs and landings of the carrier-based aircraft again and again.

In the process of promoting the transformation and development of the People's Navy, an unprecedented new battle position has come with the aircraft carrier. In order to speed up and shift the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier formation, figures like Wang Dengnan racing against time are distributed in various battle positions of the Shandong ship.
On the day when the J-15 carrier-based fighter was recovered for the first time, the second sergeant Zhang Zhongjie, the captain of the blocking area team, felt that he ushered in another "life test" -
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1... ..." When the first carrier-based fighter approached the stern, Zhang Zhongjie held his breath and counted down silently, until the "bang" sounded, the tail hook was accurately hooked, and the "Flying Shark" successfully landed in the "black area". Take a breath.
The applause came from all the battle positions on the deck. Zhang Zhongjie couldn't be bothered to celebrate. He hurried to the deck to check and prepare to receive the next carrier-based fighter. After the
mission, the veteran came to the landing area alone, looking at the black tire scratches, he recalled the "starting from scratch" himself.
explore the way, to pave the way. Facing the multi-system and multi-disciplinary interdisciplinary blocking profession, Zhang Zhongjie studied equipment against every second. Through theoretical analysis and practical optimization and improvement, he and his comrades summed up a set of carrier-based aircraft suitable for Shandong ship in just a few months. Landing support program. Over the past few years, from the unfamiliar "blank area" to the release of the landing support plan, and the "apprentice" can "apprentice", veteran Zhang Zhongjie and Shandong ship have accelerated their growth together, all his efforts are only for one moment - "Flying Shark" successfully hooked the moment of asking.
(3) Riding the wind and marching toward the war
has changed from a carrier-based fighter pilot to an aircraft carrier commander. Xu Ying, the deputy captain of the Shandong ship, is destined to have an indissoluble bond with the aircraft carrier.
This is not his first "crossover" -
Ten years ago, in order to challenge the most difficult flying project, Xu Ying transformed from an ordinary fighter pilot to a carrier-based fighter pilot. As my country's first-generation "dancer on the tip of a knife", he successfully landed a fighter jet on the Liaoning ship, and successfully completed the first domestic night landing mission. After
took up the post of the deputy captain of the Shandong ship, Xu Ying's goal was to make the ship and aircraft integrate more tacitly: "As a deputy captain of an aircraft carrier with flight experience, I regard myself as a bridge connecting the aircraft carrier and the carrier-based aircraft. .Whatever conditions the pilots want, we will create the conditions when manipulating the aircraft carrier. Similarly, the aircraft carrier will be affected by factors such as deck wind, formation position, and ship collision avoidance during sailing. "
In the past ten years, China's aircraft carrier business has grown from nothing, and the transformation of the navy has also achieved more leapfrog development in fission aggregation. Vigorously promote the coupling of combat training, vigorously promote system training, and vigorously promote scientific and technological training - on the sea frontier, countless professional and new military talents with excellent quality like Xu Ying are being tempered by wind and waves in the deep blue ocean, forging to become capable of fighting Fighting elite troops.

It was another early morning. Facing the strong sea wind, the Shandong ship raised the steel arc that jumped into the dark blue, and was sailing at full speed.
keep his head high, always ready to fight. The forward track of the first domestically-made aircraft carrier Shandong constitutes an indispensable and important chapter in the People's Navy's journey towards world-class. No matter below the waterline or above the deck, officers and soldiers of all positions on the Shandong ship have reported to the motherland and the people with repeated voyages, repeated trainings, and repeated flights: Sticking to the battle position, I will protect the thousands of miles with my bow and string. sea frontier.
