French aircraft recently discovered the "Doomsday Ship" and "Yinchuan Ship". The area discovered this time was not in French Polynesia, but in New Caledonia, which is about 5,000 kilometers away from French Polynesia. This area is also under France, so The French Navy aircraft photographed the "Yinchuan Ship" again. As before, the "Yinchuan Ship" appeared alone in the waters near New Caledonia.
The "Yinchuan Ship" was newly photographed by a French naval aircraft
Some time ago, the "Yinchuan Ship" appeared in the waters near French Polynesia, which attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. The main reason for concern is the following points:
First of all, The straight-line distance between French Polynesia and my country is more than 11,000 kilometers, which means that the "Yinchuan Ship" sails more than 11,000 kilometers, and the pictures released by France show that only the "Yinchuan Ship" is A ship appeared, but no supply ship appeared;

Then there is the issue of how to supply the "Yinchuan Ship", if the surrounding If there is a supply ship, then it is good to say that the supply ship can provide supplies to the "Yinchuan Ship" and there will be no problem in global navigation. However, the current problem is that the supply ship did not appear near the "Yinchuan Ship" and the French Navy did not take pictures. Then the "Yinchuan Ship" has only one supply method left: docking for supply.
Supply ships can provide supplies at sea.
The Iranian Navy, which also went to French Polynesian waters, has more than one destroyer , and a large ship converted from an oil tanker. It can be understood as a supply ship to provide supplies for the Iranian destroyers. Therefore, the two Iranian ships started from Iranian waters and sailed more than 16,000 kilometers to appear in the waters near French Polynesia.

This illustrates a problem. Between our country and French Polynesia, some countries provide The port provides supplies to the "Yinchuan Ship", and it is not just one country, but several countries. Because the "Yinchuan Ship" is a destroyer with a displacement of about 7,000 tons, its own supply capacity is limited and it can only sail more than 7,000 kilometers. Its self-sustainability is limited, so it needs to receive supplies after sailing for a certain distance.

Some countries were not happy to see such news, such as Australia, because Australia believes that the waters where French Polynesia is located is Australia's back garden. The presence of Chinese ships in the area shows that China's influence has expanded to Australia's back garden. With the support of fixed ports, Chinese ships can come whenever they want.
The location of New Caledonia
What makes Australia even more unacceptable is that after the "Yinchuan Ship" appeared in the waters near French Polynesia, it appeared in a new area: New Caledonia. This area is closer to Australia, only 1,500 kilometers from the eastern coast of Australia. The previous French Polynesia was still 6,000 kilometers away from Australia, indicating that it is getting closer to Australia.
The distance between New Caledonia and Polynesia
and The distance between French Polynesia and New Caledonia is about 5,000 kilometers, which shows that the "Yinchuan Ship" In the past few days, it has sailed another 5,000 kilometers, which also shows that the "Yinchuan Ship" currently has no intention of returning home and needs to sail long distances urgently. I measured it with a tool on the map and found that the New Caledonia area of our country is 7,000 kilometers. If the "Yinchuan Ship" returns to China at this time, the sailing distance will exceed 20,000 kilometers.
We still don’t know the purpose of the "Yinchuan Ship"'s ocean voyage, and why the Iranian Navy will also appear in Polynesian waters. It is estimated that the official report will not be made until the "Yinchuan Ship" returns to China, and then the mystery will be solved.
