The sea breeze blows, the waves sway gently.

Recently, at a military port in Qingdao, the 10th anniversary celebration of the entry of the Yancheng ship is underway.

The 12 "seniors" on the ship, the first crew members who took over the ship, lined up neatly on the deck to receive salutes from all the crew members.

  Among them was Sun Biao, the steering squad leader of the navigation department.

At this moment, he has a lot of thoughts, and the scenes of going on an expedition with the ship continue to emerge in his mind. He has gone to the Gulf of Aden twice, participated in multinational maritime security joint exercises many times, and has traveled on five continents and three oceans, and visited 20 countries.

  On the Yancheng ship, each crew member who is assigned to serve on the ship and passes the relevant assessments has a number.

  "The unique number has inspired generations of officers and soldiers of the Yancheng ship to always focus on high-end naval battles and take on the important task of winning." Luo Daiyu, the political commissar of the ship, said.

  Li Weibo, the first sergeant major and the main engine technician of the mechanical and electrical department, is the 50th crew member of the Yancheng ship.

He has been in the army for 26 years, and has been dealing with diesel engines for 26 years. He has a clear understanding of the "temperament" of his equipment.

  That year, during the naval training of the Yancheng ship, the ship sailed to a certain sea area, and the temperature sensor suddenly sounded an alarm.

At a critical juncture, Li Weibo "looked, heard, asked," and located the fault in less than 20 seconds.

The officers and soldiers on the scene all gave thumbs up.

  There are still many "soldiers experts" like Li Weibo. They are active in various battle positions of the Yancheng ship, and make this warship into a sharp blade at sea that can fight well at any time.

  The practical test came unexpectedly.

In the second half of last year, the Yancheng ship received an urgent mission to drive away foreign warships in a certain sea area.

During the mission, the ship encountered bad sea conditions, and the foreign ship was less than 100 meters away from me.

In the face of arrogance and provocation, the whole ship united as one, bravely displayed their swords, suppressed the momentum of foreign ships' approaching reconnaissance and malicious harassment, and effectively defended our maritime rights and interests, and was named and praised by leaders at all levels.

  In 2020, the Yancheng ship was equipped with a new type of missile.

The test of new equipment could have been completely handed over to scientific research institutes, and the Yancheng ship only needed to provide platform support.

However, captain Guo Xibin did not think so. He always put innovation and transcendence in his heart, and took the crew to deeply participate in equipment testing, practice coordination, command, and tactics, so as to achieve the best state of "unity of man and ship" and effectively promote the The combat effectiveness of ships has been increased.

  In a subsequent live-fire exercise mission, the missile destroyed the target, achieved a major victory in the test, and achieved a new breakthrough in tactics.

  1,200 square meters is the main deck area of ​​the Yancheng ship.

In this limited space, the officers and soldiers worked hard, took the ship as their home, and worked hard to realize their own value.

  Xu Zhengui, a political instructor in the electromechanical department, is from the Naval Air Force.

Two years ago, he took the initiative to sign up for exchange, and resolutely chose to go to the front-line combat ship.

  Soon after boarding the ship, Xu Zhengui had a strong sense of crisis.

Afterwards, he started a difficult journey of "transformation": systematically learn ship common sense and equipment knowledge from scratch, and actively participate in the study of tactics and training methods... One year later, Xu Zhengui successfully passed the post qualification assessment and became a veritable ship Political instructor.

  Over 3,600 days and nights of joint growth, Yancheng Ship has become the "incubator base" for the talents of its detachment. In the past 10 years, it has sent more than 100 cadres and backbones to brother units and higher-level organizations, and won the collective third-class merit and second-class merit each time. , the Yancheng Ship Youth League Committee was also commended by the Youth League Central Committee as the "National May 4th Red Flag Youth League Committee".
