"There are four highlights in this maritime military parade." Yin Zhuo, a military expert, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency recently.
Large destroyers will be unveiled
"Large surface warships will be unveiled at this military parade." Yin Zhuo said that we can see large destroyers like Haikou, which was escorted by the Gulf of Aden.
"The destroyers of today are completely different from those of the past." Yin Zhuo said that destroyers used to be about 3, tons, but today's frigates are bigger than this. "The tonnage of large ships can reach six or seven thousand tons."
review at sea
review at sea is divided into military parade at sea and review at sea. The military parade at sea is that all ships line up, and the inspectors read from the front of the fleet under review by the review ship, while the ship under review does not move.
in the maritime review mode, the review ship on which the reviewer is riding is stationary, and the ship under review passes in front of the review ship in single or double columns.
"The upcoming maritime review will include both forms." Yin Zhuo said that by then, the ship capacity, weapons and equipment, training level and spiritual outlook of the China Navy can be presented to us.
Various international naval communication etiquette
"If two ships from different countries meet in a friendly way at sea, they will whistle or whistle to show their respect for each other." Yin Zhuo said.
when ships enter the port, they need to fire salutes. There is a special salute position on the ship, one on the port and one on the port.
"China Navy's 45mm caliber salute is mostly double-fired and double-sounded." Yin Zhuo said that according to different levels of courtesy, different salutes will be fired. "For example, to greet the head of state, you should ring 21 times."
Multinational naval vessels gather
"China invited some high-ranking foreign naval commanders and dozens of ships from more than 1 countries to participate in this military parade." Yin Zhuo said that they can discuss topics such as anti-piracy, anti-drug and other non-traditional security threats. "On the long-term development of the navy, everyone will have the opportunity to have a good exchange."
"warships from so many countries visit, and we can see some of their new technologies." Yin Zhuo said, "This is a very good learning opportunity."
