Chapter 837: Chinese Escort Formation

During Ramadan, the work intensity is actually smaller than that, because many people know the traditions of these ******* countries, so during this period, they also come in to reduce or avoid large-scale commercial and diplomatic activities during this period.

Now the eyes of the whole world are attracted by the explosion at the US base. In the future, the United States will strengthen its crackdown on IS and relax other things.

In a month, Ramadan finally passed, and Djibouti gradually returned to normal living and working conditions. At this moment, the embassy received a notice that the 22nd escort formation of our Navy will be replenished and rested in the future.

One of the important tasks of the Djibouti Embassy is to maintain and ensure the supply and rest work of the naval escort formation. Mu Yang has seen relevant documents before and is quite familiar with the entire process, so he will arrange the work soon.

This is not the first time the staff of the embassy has done this job, and they all have a lot of work. Contact the Djibouti government, rent a temporary dock, organize and arrange supplies, and contact the resting place, so that the soldiers who have been wandering for a month or two can go ashore to rest for a few days.

This time, the Daqing and Taihu ships will dock and carry out a four-day port-based supply rest. During the Daqing and Taihu ships, the escort mission will be continued by the Qingdao ship.

At 9 a.m. on August 20, under the guidance of local port water diversion officers, the Daqing ship and the Taihu ship slowly sailed into Djibouti Port. The escort officers and soldiers dressed in white military uniforms lined up in the cabin, with a clean military appearance and a majestic and majestic one.

Muyang led some staff members of the Djibouti Embassy, ​​Chinese-funded institutions and medical teams to the Kyrgyzstan to greet them.

The Daqing ship is my country's latest Type 054A missile frigate. NATO countries call it "Jiangkai Class II". It was built by Huangpu Shipyard. It was officially launched on September 28, 2013 with a hull number of 576.

The 054A missile frigate is 134 meters long, 15.2 meters wide, 5 meters draft, 3647 tons, and a full load of 4053 tons. The maximum speed is 30 knots, a cruising capacity of 3800 nautical miles/18 knots, and a 190-person team.

The weapons include two anti-ship missiles, four-seat YJ-83 anti-ship missile launchers. Four-seat air defense missiles, eight-seat vertically fired Hongqi-16 air defense missiles. One PJ26 single-tube 76MM stealth gun. One domestically produced 730 type 30 mm near-defense system on both sides. Two triple-seat fish-7 torpedo tubes. Two 3200 type (type 86) 6-seat anti-submarine rocket launchers. One Z-9C type anti-submarine helicopter.

Some people say that China is too willful, and the 054A should be called a destroyer, not a frigate. Compared with the information of Japanese warships, the Japanese Chuxue-class destroyer has a standard displacement of 2,950 tons and a full load displacement of 4,000 tons. The Asahi-class destroyer has a standard displacement of 3,500 tons and a full load displacement of 4,900 tons. The Japanese Chunyu-class destroyer has a standard displacement of 4,400 tons and a full load displacement of 5,100 tons.

People laughed and said that if Japan regards this standard as a frigate, then only single digits will remain for Japan's destroyers.

The 0.55-class 10,000-ton warship that China is under construction has reached 12,000 tons, even exceeding the displacement of some American cruisers, but it is only called destroyers.

Is this considered low-key?

The Taihu ship, which came with it, is a new comprehensive supply ship developed and designed by my country. It has a hull number of 889, a length of 178.5 meters, a width of 24.8 meters, a full load displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and was launched in March 2012.

The supply ship is mainly responsible for joining the maritime maneuver formation during wartime to carry out navigation or berthing supply to the destroyer frigate, and usually accompanying the destroyer frigate to carry out long-distance voyage and visiting missions.

The escort formation in the Gulf of Aden is indispensable, the existence of the nanny Taihu Ship.

The Daqing ship was the first to dock. Captain Zhang Rong led the officers and soldiers down the gangway. Muyang stepped forward to greet him. The two sides shook hands and greeted him. After the Taihu ship was docked, Muyang stepped forward to greet the Taihu ship captain Deng Jianjun and others.

The navy soldiers lined up next to the battleship. Although there were only 2 platoons and 16 people, the army was rigorous, uniform and powerful.

Zhang Rong said to Mu Yang: "Ambassador Mu, please review the troops."

Then, accompanied by Zhang Rong and Deng Jianjun, Mu Yang inspected the 16-person team. Although there was no salute or military music, at this moment, Mu Yang suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Subsequently, Mu Yang led some staff of the embassy, ​​Chinese-funded institutions and medical teams to board the Daqing ship.

Staff of medical teams and Chinese-funded institutions of the aid to Kyrgyzstan, some officers took them to visit the Daqing ship, while Muyang and some staff from the embassy entered the conference room inside the ship for a discussion with naval officers such as Zhang Rong and Deng Jianjun.

"This is the second time our 22nd escort formation has landed on the shore to replenish supplies, but it is the first time we meet Ambassador Mu. This time we will trouble the comrades in the embassy again." Colonel Zhang Rong said with a smile.

"It is the issue of ensuring the life supply of officers and soldiers. It is the work of our embassy. It is not hard work. It is you who stay at sea for a month or two, which is hard work." Mu Yang said.

The two sides had a pleasant conversation and slowly talked about the fleet's itinerary. The 22nd Formation previously carried out several escort missions in the Gulf of Aden, and then went to South Africa for a visit. It took tens of thousands of miles of sea to travel. After more than three months, it returned to Djibouti again for supply rest and rest. It was indeed very hard.

"The US military base explosion in Djibouti did have a great impact. When we came back, the USS Bush aircraft carrier of the USS Sixth Fleet was in the waters near the Gulf of Aden. It seems that the Americans were really beaten to death this time."

"It will be a pity for anyone to lose two destroyers and one frigate, but I think the Americans will recover soon, and at most two warships will be dispatched to other places, which will not have much impact on the Lemonier military base."

"To be honest, if we were in African countries, preferably in Djibouti, and had our own naval base, then our escort formation would not be so hard. Of course, we also know that this is difficult."

"If there is such a base, we can garrison troops and radiate to the entire East Africa, and station more warships and permanent facilities here, which will be a great improvement for our access to the Gulf of Aden and even the Arabian Sea and Indian languages."
