战舰踏浪 砺剑远洋 ——海军第48批护航编队开展多项针对性训练纪事 ■杜江帆 张东 编队进行舰机协同训练。杜江帆摄 近日,海军第48批护航编队在亚丁湾某海域开展多项针对性训练,有效提升了编队协同作战和应急处置能力。 “有数只‘可疑小艇’高速向我接近。”唐山舰上,急促的战斗警报声骤然响起。 “转一级反恐反海盗部署。”指令下达后,唐山舰快速机动,将被护商船与“可疑小艇”隔离,慑阻其继续向商船接近,同时,特战队员按照战斗编组快速占领射击阵位。 伴随着示警汽笛声响起,唐山舰通过舱外扩大器和甚高频16频道向目标喊话警告,并发射信号弹实施警告驱离。然而,“可疑小艇”不听警告持续接近。“进行拦阻射击。”特战队员针对不同距离、不同速度的目标实施精准拦阻射击,在海面形成弹幕,成功驱离“可疑小艇”。 “小艇速度快、机动能力强。分队必须在训练中牢固树立实战化标准,有针对性加以应对。”特战分队马队长介绍,执行护航任务以来,分队常态化开展特种射击、战术手语、小艇攀爬、临检拿捕等科目训练,不断提高特战队员在复杂海况下的应急响应能力。 次日清晨,天刚破晓,特战队员携带武器快速登上舰载直升机,并依托舱门建立警戒阵位,严密监视海面动向。他们先后完成警戒巡逻、隐蔽侦察、目标识别等科目。 夜幕降临,训练转入夜间起降科目。舰面引导员使用专用灯光信号,实时传递高度、速度信息。驾驶舱内,飞行员紧盯仪表参数,不断修正飞行姿态。最终,直升机精准切入着舰航线,稳稳降落在唐山舰飞行甲板。 翻开第48批护航编队的训练计划表,反海盗演练、实弹射击训练、舰载直升机跨昼夜飞行训练……训练科目一项接着一项。编队指挥员介绍,他们在执行常态化护航任务的同时,充分利用复杂海域环境,紧贴护航任务组织针对性训练,不断锤炼编队遂行多样化任务能力。

Summary

Machine summary

The PLA Navy's 48th Escort Task Force recently conducted counter-piracy drills, VBSS training, and day-night ship-borne helicopter operations aboard the frigate Tangshan in the Gulf of Aden, with special operations personnel executing live interdiction fire against simulated fast-attack small craft. The article documents the task force's practice of embedding mission-specific training into active escort deployments rather than treating the Gulf of Aden rotation as a low-intensity holding pattern — a posture the task force commander explicitly frames as preparation for 'diversified missions.' Squadron Commander Ma's emphasis on combat-realistic standards for small-craft engagements extends a visible pattern in PLA Navy escort reporting of using the Gulf of Aden mission as a sustained live-environment training platform for skills — particularly VBSS and helicopter deck operations at night — that transfer directly to higher-end maritime operations.
