Yes, this is the legendary Yinchuan ship!
46 years ago
Our country's first intercontinental missile
“Dongfeng-5” was successfully launched
In order to perform the support mission well
The first generation of the Yinchuan ship
Overcame difficulties and advanced into the ocean
Setting three records
Now
The new generation of the Yinchuan ship has taken the baton
107→175
What has changed is the hull number
What remains unchanged is the stance of charging forward for the country
The warship crossed the equator, enduring unbearable heat
“Eggs could cook on the deck”

This was on May 18, 1980
In the designated sea area of the South Pacific
The data capsule of “Dongfeng-5”
Was retrieved at that moment
At that time, 18 of our country's ships
Had already been distributed around the designated splashdown point
The first generation of the Yinchuan ship
Hull number 107
Was the command ship of that escort formation
And also our country's first generation of domestically produced missile destroyers

When the Yinchuan ship crossed the equator
How hot was it on board?
Veteran of the first generation Yinchuan ship, Tai Jiaqing
Made an analogy
“If you crack an egg on the deck
It could cook instantly”
The main engine room at the bottom of the ship is small and sealed
It is the battle station for the soldiers of the electromechanical department
The heat inside is unbearable
Every piece of metal equipment is hot to the touch
But everyone still stands their ground

The escort formation completed
The glorious mission entrusted to them by the motherland
The first generation of the Yinchuan ship also created
The farthest sailing distance of the People's Navy at that time
The longest continuous sailing time
And the most nautical miles sailed, setting three records
In 2012, it honorably retired
Becoming a real-life classroom for national defense education
Crew members training with blindfolds
Just to respond to emergencies one second faster
On July 12, 2016
The new generation of the Yinchuan ship was commissioned
Hull number 175
Is a Type 052D missile destroyer
Compared to the Type 051 missile destroyer
It has a longer range, faster speed
And longer weapon range

Hardcore combat power comes from extreme honing
Electrician Yang Mingqi
Traversed from the bow to the stern of the ship
Blindfolded, it only took 1 minute and 30 seconds
In the event of a power outage
The ability of electricians to quickly reach their battle stations
Is key to ensuring the combat effectiveness of the ship
To hone their skills
The ship has organized multiple blindfold training sessions for the crew

Not afraid of hardship, daring to break through
With real combat as the goal
The new generation of the Yinchuan ship has traveled far into the deep sea
Successfully completing escort missions, joint exercises with foreign countries, and other
Major tasks

The history of the two generations of the Yinchuan ship
Is a microcosm of the development of the People's Navy
From small boats to large ships
From near shore to deep blue
From individual soldiers to systems
What has changed is the equipment, tonnage, and combat power
What remains unchanged is the spirit of bravely shouldering the mission
And the original intention of defending the country's maritime territory
The People's Navy strives to strengthen its maritime capabilities
Relying on generations of people continuing to fight
Let's watch the “two-way journey” of Yinchuan elementary school students and the Yinchuan ship↓
