aircraft carrier is the country’s most important weapon. Our country’s aircraft carrier is the result of the efforts of countless ancestors. Now, we have finally realized our dream of an aircraft carrier, and the Liaoning ship is one of them. The Z1z
Liaoning ship is a semi-finished "Varyag" aircraft carrier that my country bought back from Ukraine. I believe everyone is familiar with the way back to China for the "Varyag" aircraft carrier.
was obstructed by Turkey at the time, and Varyag’s journey back to China was extremely difficult. Later, because of the assistance of Greece, after completing the 21 security measures they proposed, they were still blocked everywhere, and it lasted nearly two years. Only then successfully returned home.
On September 25, 2012, the reconstructed Varyag was officially renamed the "Aircraft Carrier Liaoning", abbreviated as: Liaoning. In fact, the code name of the Liaoning ship is 001 and the ship number is 16, which is the first in China. An aircraft carrier in service.
believes that many people will be curious, since it is the first aircraft carrier, why is its number 16? Today we will reveal to everyone one by one.
First of all, the Liaoning ship is to commemorate the "father of Chinese aircraft carrier"
Speaking of aircraft carriers, I have to mention one person-"father of Chinese aircraft carriers" Liu Huaqing. He is concerned about the aerospace industry and has made outstanding achievements for the implementation of my country's aircraft carrier program. contribution.
40 years ago, General Liu Huaqing visited the United States. When he proposed to visit the US aircraft carrier, although the US military agreed to General Liu’s request after repeated consideration, it did not allow him to touch the aircraft carrier on the grounds of secrecy and could only wait and see. It is not allowed to watch the internal structure of the aircraft carrier, and can only "appreciate" from the deck.
That was the first time the old general boarded an aircraft carrier. In order to make himself see more clearly, General Liu Huaqing had to stand on tiptoes and raise his neck... I believe that at that moment, his heart must be complicated and helpless. Sad. The scene of
was later recorded. I believe many netizens have seen this photo. I remember that when I saw this photo for the first time, my nose was sour and there was an unspeakable taste, old general. The look of expectation was particularly distressing, and that scene was engraved in the hearts of countless Chinese people. The old man
devoted his entire life to the construction of Chinese aircraft carriers. He said before his death that if China had no aircraft carriers, he would die. Unfortunately, until the death of the old general in 2011, he could not see our country’s own Aircraft carrier.
Last year, when my country’s first domestically-made aircraft carrier Shandong was officially listed, netizens called out: General
, you don’t need to stand up to see other aircraft carriers. We have our own aircraft carrier.
This shows people's nostalgia for General Liu Huaqing. General Liu was born in 1916. China's first aircraft carrier set its hull number as 16 to commemorate this old man who contributed to China's aircraft carrier cause. Z1z
Secondly, from the time of purchase to the use of the Liaoning ship, it was exactly 16 years. Z1z
knew that the predecessor of the Liaoning ship was the Varyag aircraft carrier built during the former Soviet Union. Unfortunately, during the construction process, the Soviet Union collapsed.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Varyag aircraft carrier was given to Ukraine as a souvenir, but Ukraine was unable to continue its construction and completion, and the Ukrainian government was forced to announce the official retirement of the Varyag. The Varyag at the time of
was a sweet pastry. Several countries were tempted by it, but none of them succeeded. In the end, the Varyag was sold by Xu Zengping, the head of the Macau Chuangjin Tourism and Entertainment Company, for US$20 million. Bought it from Ukraine.
However, the process was very tortuous. From 1999 to 2001, the Chinese government had been actively negotiating with all parties, but Turkey was obstructed in every possible way until their requirements were met.
began to negotiate with Ukraine about the purchase of the Varyag aircraft carrier in 1992, and only formally reached a purchase agreement in 1996. Finally, the Liaoning ship was officially listed by the end of 2012.
has gone through 16 years, so the Liaoning ship number is set to 16, also in order to let countless Chinese people remember these 16 years of hardship.
Also, the Liaoning ship number is set to 16 to leave space for other aircraft carriers to enter service.
On September 25, 2012, my country’s first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning Ship, was officially handed over to the train, making China’s aircraft carrier from zero to one. Breakthrough,For a time, all the Chinese people rejoiced.
At that time, many netizens raised the question "Why the Liaoning ship number is set to 16". In this regard, my country's famous aircraft carrier expert Li Jie answered this question in an interview.
He said that the ship’s ship number of Liaoning is set at 16, which is a logical thing. Under normal circumstances, the ship’s ship number is two digits, because destroyers and frigates are both three digits, while aircraft carriers are relatively large. , So I choose a number below 100 and a relatively small number as the beginning, which is in line with people's habits. The most important thing about
is that it is impossible for my country to have only this aircraft carrier. Therefore, 16 is actually to make room for the continued use of other aircraft carriers after they enter service.
Actually, there are many people saying about why the ship number of the Liaoning is 16. For example, some people say that the homonym of "16" is "first-class", which indicates that my country's aircraft carrier will become a world-class aircraft carrier, and some people say the "16" generation. It represents the meaning of Liuliu Shun, which indicates that the road of my country's aircraft carrier is getting smoother and so on.
In fact, the two swordsmen believe that no matter what kind of statement it is, it carries the long-cherished wishes and blessings of countless Chinese people. Finally, let us together bless our country's aircraft carrier career smooth sailing, and wish our great motherland prosperous!
