Everyone knows that the warships of our country's navy are mainly named after cities, mountains and lakes in various places. Since then, many cities in each province will appear on the ships of the People's Navy. For example, in recent years, due to the economic overtake by the surrounding areas, Jiangxi, which is known as the Akalin Province, its capital, Nanchang, was used to name the No. 101 ship of the 055. This honor is inseparable from its history of the "Hero City" in the early days of the revolution. This is not the first time that the Nanchang ship has appeared in the history of the People's Navy. The previous

And Jiangxi's second largest city, Jiujiang , has the No. 516 frigate that has just returned home. This is the only fire support ship in the history of the People's Navy, specially modified to unify the motherland's mission. It may also be the only fire support ship in the world at present. It is equipped with 5 250-tube 122mm rocket launchers, which can launch three waves of intensive fire strikes on enemy beachhead positions.

Like Jiujiang Ship, the 531 Yingtan Ship is also a very special frigate. It is equipped with two Red Flag-61 ship-to-air missile dual-mounted launchers and a 381 three-coordinate air-to-air radar. It is the first time that the People's Navy has tried to build a special air-defense frigate. It has made great achievements and is one of the few ships in the People's Navy that have participated in actual combat. Unfortunately, due to the lack of technology, the 531 Yingtan ship was withdrawn from active service early. Although the four cities of
531 Yingtan ship
, Shangrao, Yichun , Ji'an , and Jingdezhen are all prefecture-level cities, they are used to name four 056 light frigates respectively. Since the previous naming quotas of the two 054 and 30 054A frigates have been snatched away by other cities, these four Jiangxi cities can only wait until 056 is retired in 2030 years, and the next round of new ships will be put into service before they can be justified.

However, the most surprising thing is that Ganzhou is named after it, which is actually a 052DL type destroyer , with performance second only to the 055 Nanchang ship, which breaks the naming rules of our country's navy. However, as my country's frigate construction work is coming to an end and the navy continues to move towards the ocean, the 052D series destroyers will be downgraded and used as frigates in the future. This makes it natural that the Ganzhou ship makes sense.
Ganzhou ship is a 052DL destroyer
In addition, the Chinese Navy also has a 999 Jinggangshan ship and 980 Longhushan ship. They are both the No. 2 and No. 5 of the
Jinggangshan ship hull number Taishuai
And the 882 Poyang Lake ship is a 905-type "Taicang" class supply ship, the first oil, water, dry goods supply ship of the Chinese Navy, and it is now old. As the largest freshwater lake in the country, it is not completely impossible for Poyang Lake to be transferred to the 50,000-ton 905 aircraft carrier supply ship.

Overall, although there are not many warships named after Jiangxi city, and are far from comparable to coastal provinces such as Guangdong and Shandong, the "Jiangxi Fleet" plays an important role. Whether it is the first ship of 055, the first ship of 101 Nanchang, the only fire support ship of my country, the 516 Jiujiang, or the first air defense frigate of my country, the 531 Yingtan, are all pioneering ships. As new types of ships in my country's navy are launched more and more, I believe that more cities in Jiangxi will find the warship named after their own names.
