On the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Navy, the third-type main battleships of the Navy - the Long March 18, the Dalian ship and the Hainan ship were handed over to the train at a military port in Sanya.
Chang'an Street Governor noticed that the candidate for the captain of the first Type 075 amphibious assault ship of the Chinese Navy made its first public debut. He was the Colonel of Lu Yongjun. He was born on April 23, 1979, celebrated his birthday on the same day as the Chinese Navy, and served as the captain of the Wuzhishan Ship.
The first large destroyer of the South China Sea Fleet, the political commissar of the Dalian ship, was Colonel Zhang Xianghui, who served as the political commissar of the first 052D destroyer Kunming ship.
Chang'an Street Governor noticed that Colonel Lu Yongjun had served as internship captains and captains in the 071 large dock landing ships - Jinggangshan ship and Wuzhishan ship.
Among them, the Wuzhishan ship was listed in January 2019 and was the most advanced amphibious landing combat ship of the Chinese Navy at that time. Its flight deck is also the Navy's largest flight platform except aircraft carriers.
The People's Liberation Army Daily disclosed in December 2018 that a landing ship detachment of the Southern Theater Command Navy was preparing to take on a new ship. When considering the candidate for a captain to take on the ship, some leaders suggested adjusting an old captain to lead the team.
However, in the actual selection process, Lu Yongjun, who was the intern captain of Jinggangshan ship at the time, stood out. During his tenure as deputy captain, he boldly managed, focused on training, innovated a number of tactical training, and successfully promoted it in all detachments and sister units. After "turning into a regular internship", Captain Lu's work motivation became more intense.
With the approval of the Central Military Commission, the three newly listed main battleships are named: the People's Liberation Army Navy Long March 18, the hull number 421, the People's Liberation Army Navy Dalian, the hull number 105, the People's Liberation Army Navy Hainan, the hull number 31.
According to the Global Times, the Long March 18 boat is the latest strategic nuclear submarine, the Hainan ship is the first Type 075 amphibious assault ship, and the Dalian ship is the 055 large destroyer.
075 amphibious assault ship is China's latest generation of amphibious combat weapons and equipment. Experts believe that the amphibious strike group formed by 075 and 071 has strong island capture capabilities, and the cooperation of land-based aviation and aircraft carrier combat groups has enabled the PLA to form stronger joint combat capabilities in the island capture process.
After the Hainan ship was in the ranks, Lu Yongjun expressed his opinion: Born in a prosperous era, if we have a strong army, we will definitely live up to our mission and live up to our trust.
Hainan squad leader Wu Tong also said that he must be good at martial arts and be a vanguard, keep in mind his mission and responsibilities, practice hard to win the skills, and strive to contribute his youthful strength to the cause of strengthening the military.
