Since the commissioning of the Zunyi ship

it has deeply integrated into the aircraft carrier battle group operational system

successfully completing multiple major tasks

including conducting realistic combat exercises in the South Pacific

The officers and soldiers of the Zunyi ship recalled:

“We have engaged in battles with foreign warships and aircraft

there's a lot of wit and courage involved”

……

“10,000-ton destroyer” Zunyi ship

has repeatedly engaged with foreign warships and aircraft

“10,000-ton destroyer” Zunyi ship

hull number 107

as a new type of maritime force

an important command node, information center, and mobile fortress

has deeply integrated into the aircraft carrier battle group operational system

successfully completing

multiple major tasks including

conducting realistic combat exercises in the South Pacific

with an average of over 200 days at sea each year

“We have engaged in battles with foreign warships and aircraft

there's a lot of wit and courage involved”

Zhang Jun from the Zunyi ship recalled

The Zunyi ship has encountered foreign warships and aircraft multiple times

conducting close reconnaissance and monitoring

“During that mission

we were organizing routine training activities

when foreign vessels monitored our Zunyi ship

while we were sailing at high speed

the other side was also monitoring us

and they had to sail at high speed too

at that moment

(suddenly) their power and electricity all went out

the radar stopped emitting waves, and the navigation lights went out

for nearly half an hour

but our equipment

and our personnel had no issues at all”

When asked by reporters

whether he felt nervous in such situations

Zhang Jun confidently responded:

“Why should I be nervous?

I am definitely not nervous

as long as I am within the range of my missiles

I can definitely eliminate you”

This calmness

comes from the Zunyi ship's strong combat capability

If the opponent really makes a sudden attack

I will have more powerful firepower, shorter response time

and higher accuracy

we can achieve first-hit accuracy

with the support of the system

and other forces

I can launch a counterattack on the same target

or a target next to you”

The Navy competition won first place!

The Zunyi ship has a new anti-submarine search tactic

Anti-submarine warfare

has always been regarded as a global challenge

“The anti-submarine specialty may differ from other specialties

unlike the main and secondary guns

which can be seen when fired

and the results can be known immediately”

XU Yi from the Zunyi ship introduced:

“Anti-submarine warfare involves capturing (targets) at sea

I may detect and identify targets through experience and equipment

but I might not be certain

because the submarine has not surfaced

I cannot say that what I captured is a submarine

only after returning to port

and comparing the traces of the submarine

can I confirm it is a submarine

that sense of accomplishment

is very satisfying”

Since its commissioning

the Zunyi ship has always focused on deep-sea anti-submarine

as a key area of research

summarizing and forming a certain anti-submarine tactic

and last year in the Navy competition

applied this achievement to win first place

The specific tactics cannot be disclosed

but Xu Yi told reporters:

“We have a strong offensive and defensive system

in the future, we will definitely operate in formation for external combat

in fact, we have already started to coordinate multiple formations

exploring what is a better combination

Anti-submarine mainly involves three issues

I can detect it, I can defend against it, I can attack accurately

we are also working hard in these areas

one day in the future

if the motherland needs us

if the people need us to fight

we will be able to deliver and win”
