New Members Join the Ten-Thousand-Ton Destroyer! A Close Look at the First Training of 109 and 110

The Type 055 destroyer

is our country's independently developed and built fourth-generation destroyer

integrating advanced radar and universal vertical launch

with comprehensive radio frequency capabilities

serving as the armed escort for aircraft carrier formations

and also as the core of distant sea missions

Recently, the Type 055 destroyer family has added new members

with the commissioning of the 9th ship, Dongguan, and the 10th ship, Anqing

which conducted their first at-sea training in a certain area of the East China Sea

Let's take a look together↓↓↓

A certain destroyer formation of the Eastern Theater Navy

composed of Dongguan, Dazhou, Hangzhou

Xuzhou, and Xiangtan ships

set sail to a certain area of the East China Sea

to conduct multi-subject, all-element

realistic joint training

to further hone the formation's coordinated combat capabilities and

the core combat effectiveness of the ships

"Battle alarm!"

As the formation just left the dock

the alarm suddenly sounded

the officers and soldiers responded to the order

and quickly rushed to their battle stations

A realistic drill was immediately launched against an "enemy situation" involving air and

surface threats

In the face of an "enemy" drone

conducting a low-altitude surprise attack

the ships in the formation relied on

an integrated command system

to quickly establish

a three-layer air defense firepower network at long, medium, and short ranges

various types of radars rapidly locked onto targets

and utilized multiple weapons to organize a counterattack

As the smoke cleared, another crisis arose

the formation that had just completed air defense

immediately transitioned to a maritime attack state

After the radar detected a target

the ships adjusted their course

quickly occupying attack positions

the missile systems were rapidly prepared

and the fire control positions of each ship closely coordinated

With the commander's order

they simulated strikes against "enemy" surface vessels

successfully eliminating the target

On the other side, a certain destroyer formation of the Eastern Theater Navy

composed of Anqing, Shigatse, and Suzhou ships

and several other vessels set sail

to a certain area of the East China Sea

to conduct specialized and refined training on multiple subjects

The ships coordinated seamlessly

successively forming maritime strike and air defense

formation alert movements

Anqing flexibly adjusted its course, accurately positioning

successfully completing various maneuvering actions

Subsequently, the formation entered the anti-submarine training area

with "dark currents" stirring underwater

the command post ordered the anti-submarine helicopter to take off

to complete networking with the ships in the formation

and conduct a net-style search for underwater targets

"Battle alarm!

Suspicious echoes detected

suspected submarine targets found"

In the face of a complex situation

the onboard aircraft and the ship formation closely coordinated

quickly occupying advantageous positions

locking onto the "enemy" target's location

and decisively implementing simulated strikes

The 10,000-ton destroyer cuts through waves and surges

not only accelerating

the solid steps of advanced combat capability construction

but also vividly reflecting the People's Navy's determination to strengthen its maritime power and move towards the deep blue

The officers and soldiers, in the spirit of "pioneers"

transform the modernization and intelligence advantages of the new warships

into battlefield advantages

sharpening their winning skills in repeated confrontation training

and being ready to showcase their prowess in the future's turbulent seas
