“Once, more than a dozen helicopters needed to quickly launch from the hangar, and we were all like we had 'adrenaline shots'...” said a crew member from the Anhui ship. The speed of aircraft deployment directly affects the outcome of a war; being one second faster in launching can mean being airborne one second earlier to respond to various emergencies.

In less than four years since its commissioning, the Anhui ship has regularly organized major training tasks such as aircraft takeoff and landing, joint search and rescue operations, and multi-service coordinated training, steadily improving its readiness and capability to engage at any time.
