Romance in Blue Land: This warship No.520 is the "Hanzhong Ship" of China Navy.
It turns out that Hanzhong Ship, as a missile frigate with a displacement of 1000 tons and a length of 100 meters, is an indispensable escort force in the formation of aircraft carriers, although its tonnage is not large.
Hanzhong Ship's predecessor was a "hero speedboat" which was famous for its 1965 "August 6th" naval battle.
On the morning of August 5th, 1965, the large-scale hunting submarine "Jianmen" and the small-scale hunting submarine "Zhangjiang" of the Second Fleet of China's naval patrol set sail from Zuoying Port, Taiwan Province, and sailed to Xiongyu Island, southeast of Dongshan Island, Fujian Province, in the evening, in an attempt to transport special agents to People's Republic of China (PRC).
After the South China Sea Fleet of China Navy was informed of the above situation, Shantou Marine Police District immediately used 1 1 torpedo boat and four escort boats to prepare for the battle. At 23: 00 13, four escort boats and six torpedo boats were ordered to attack. On 6th 1: 42, the motorcade found the target. At 2: 5 1, the attack on Zhangjiang began, and it sank at 3: 33. At 3: 35, five torpedo boats on standby went to reinforce and cooperated with the escort fleet to pursue Jianmen. The torpedo boat team fired 10 torpedo and sank it at 0522 hours. In this naval battle, the People's Liberation Army Navy * * * sank two enemy naval vessels in the "submarine hunter", annihilated more than 70 people under the commander of the patrol second fleet, Major General Hu Jiaheng/KLOC-0, and captured 33 people, including Lieutenant Colonel Wang Yishan, the captain of the "Jianmen". It was a war of annihilation achieved by China navy's fast light fleet in close combat, close coordination and concentrated superior forces.
At that time, it was China Navy's "Type 62 escort boat" that sank two American warships of the Republic of China. This type of ship is a high-speed escort boat designed and developed by China in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Type 62 escort boat is an excellent light offshore combat ship with light hull, fast cruising, fierce firepower and low cost. Because it was first produced in1911,1delivered in October, it was named "Model 62". This type of boat is 38.7m long and 5.3m wide, with a draft of about1.5m and a displacement of about100t.
The success of the "8.6" naval battle is closely related to the fact that China's army encountered it paid attention to concealment, its tactics were reasonable, and it used the enemy's long-term crosstalk in the southern coast of China to form a mentality of underestimating the enemy. This battle not only made the predecessor of China Navy Hanzhong Ship "Hero speedboat" famous in World War I, but also emerged a "steel warrior" Mai Xiande who was concentrated in the head by shrapnel and was still trying his best to remove obstacles.
With the development of science and technology and economy, China's naval vessels have been upgraded many times, but the "hero speedboat" with the ship number 520 has been passed down by several generations of sailors. Since 20 13, the "Type 056 frigate" with modern power, anti-ship, air defense and anti-submarine equipment has been launched, with a length of 89 meters, a side 12 meter and a displacement of 1300 to 1400 tons, and the China navy has been fully upgraded.
In 20 16, a fully equipped, comfortable and powerful frigate 056 produced by CSSC Guangzhou Shipyard was officially launched and put into use the following year. When put into use, this frigate was painted with "520", which is the ship number of the hero speedboat. At the same time, No.520 was named "Hanzhong Ship", which is the second naval ship named after Xi 'an Ship in China and Shaanxi Province.
Since its service, China Navy's Hanzhong Ship has not only visited with the aircraft carrier formation for many times, but also served as a messenger of peace and friendship to let the world know about the navies of China and China, and has also made outstanding contributions to defending China's maritime sovereignty and the safe promotion of navigation channels, mines, fisheries and planting. We wish "Hanzhong", as the most romantic warship of China Navy, will always inherit the romance of this blue land.
