Summary

Machine summary

The PLA Navy's 48th Escort Task Force, deploying from Qingdao and operating in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean over a roughly 6,700-nautical-mile transit, completed more than a hundred escort missions this deployment, including a June port call in which the frigate Tangshan participated in Seychelles' 50th independence day parade as the first foreign military contingent reviewed. The article is a political-work narrative built around the Maoist concept of 实事求是 (seeking truth from facts), using operational vignettes — a monsoon-disrupted escort formation, a slow-rising pressure anomaly aboard Taihu, improvised parade drill on a rolling flight deck — to frame adaptive problem-solving as ideological continuity with the Long March. Its value is as a record of how the PLAN presents routine Gulf of Aden escort operations to junior personnel, not as evidence of changed posture or new capability.

在深蓝远征中校准和平航向 ——海军第48批护航编队履行职责使命回眸 10月中旬,南海某海域海天澄澈,结束任务的中国海军第48批护航编队返航途中,跨越祖国传统海疆线。海图室里,操舵兵问航海长关键:“我们这一趟跑了多远?”关键没有直接回答,而是拍了拍身边厚厚的一摞海图。每一张海图对应一个海区,一张一张拼起来,就是编队驶过的海域。 海图能标出所有驶过的海域,却标不出驶向未来的所有答案。90余年前,红军长征没有现成路线图,靠的是审时度势,打一仗、进一步。今天,护航编队同样是在实践中认识规律,在变化的海况中持续校准和平航向。 从青岛某军港出发,穿越海峡,横跨印度洋,抵达亚丁湾西部海域,单次航程大约6700海里,约合二万五千里。 当年,红军跋山涉水,面对的是雪山草地、激流险滩和围追堵截;今天,中国海军官兵驾舰远航,面对的是辽阔大洋、陌生海区和随时可能出现的复杂情况。怎样组织编队、怎样保持队形、怎样应对突发情况,每一次都需要根据实际作出判断。昨天行得通的办法,今天未必最优,过去积累的经验,也不能简单照搬。 近年来,亚丁湾海盗活动较为频繁。今年初夏的一次护航行动中,编队要护送来自马绍尔群岛、巴拿马等国的商船到解护点。航行途中,受当地季风影响,风浪渐起。随着海况持续变差,被护商船的航向航速均产生不同程度的偏移。编队参谋发现本来规整的护航队形正被拉长。原来是一艘航速较慢的被护商船受海况影响逐渐落后。若按原计划航行,掉队船舶将离整个编队越来越远,安全难以得到保障,如果整体减速,又会影响航渡安排,耽误商船船期。 “到底该怎么办?”指挥所里,陷入了短暂的寂静。 “先把实际情况摸准。”指挥员表示。 各战位迅速行动,雷达战位紧密跟踪各被护商船的实时位置,气象战位根据气象资料分析海况变化,航海战位重新规划航渡路线。 一道道信息汇聚起来,编队结合各被护商船的吨位大小、装载状态等,重新调整舰艇位置、商船队形、航向航速等,以更好保护商船的安全。 “衷心感谢你们专业且负责任的护航行动!”抵达安全海域后,被护商船向护航编队表达最诚挚的谢意。在飘扬着各色国旗的亚丁湾,五星红旗高扬的中国海军护航编队早已成为过往船舶信赖的一支和平力量。 1935年遵义会议后,红军从实际出发,四渡赤水、巧渡金沙江,在动态中调整前进方向。今天,在亚丁湾护航,航程漫长,海况不会迁就计划,装备不会一直处于最佳状态,任务更不会重复昨天的样子,只有尊重规律、尊重实际,才能在变化中保障航程安全。 一次,太湖舰机电集控室一个压力参数出现轻微波动。正在值班的舱段班长陈志鹏并没有轻易放过这个变化,他把前几天的数据一项项调出来比对,发现数值虽没有超过警戒线,但呈现出压力缓慢上升的趋势。 “先查清楚再说。”陈志鹏带着班员沿着管路一段段排查,从温度、压力到接口状态,从运行记录到设备负荷,反复比对。狭窄舱室里闷热潮湿,工作服很快被汗水浸透,但他们几个人蹲在设备旁,一查就是几个小时。最后,问题被锁定在一个不起眼的部位。处置完成后,参数重新恢复稳定。 一名上舰不久的战士有些庆幸:“要是压力继续增加,后果不堪设想。”陈志鹏总结道:“该看的地方一眼都不能少。”实事求是,藏在细节中;没有超过警戒线,不等于没有异常。 除了完成百余次护航任务,编队还留下更多的和平航迹。今年6月底,应塞舌尔政府邀请,编队唐山舰参加塞舌尔独立50周年庆祝阅兵活动。然而,参阅筹备刚启动,一道现实难题就横在眼前,没有平整的专用训练场地。远隔重洋,编队没有“等靠要”,而是从实际出发,发动全体受阅官兵集智破局。 航行期间,以飞行甲板为训练场,分班分组练步幅、站军姿,在舰体起伏中校准排面;靠港间隙,见缝插针利用码头空地合练,哪怕地面凹凸不平,也踩着碎石踏准步点。 标准没有降,方法从实际来。最终,中国海军方队作为外军方阵首支受阅队伍,步伐铿锵地走过塞舌尔国家体育馆检阅场,“中国排面”赢得全场掌声。 从护航、联演到访问,任务不同,求实如一。编队弘扬长征中实事求是思想路线,一切从实际出发,务实开展并成功完成各项任务,在共同守护海上安宁、探索和平道路中增进与各国友人的情谊。 海图会不断更换,海况会不断变化。没有一成不变的任务图景,但有永远清晰的思想航线。 茫茫大洋,迢迢征程。长鸣的汽笛声划过海天,海图桌前,航海长铺开下一海区的海图,用铅笔轻轻划下一道航线,新的航程即将展开。
