Live ammunition launch projects are definitely indispensable in various military exercises of the Navy. However, under the bombing of a large number of shells and missiles and , the fish in the sea suffered a catastrophe. So how should these fish that were killed be dealt with? Can the Navy be taken away and eaten ?

military exercises and environmental protection entanglement

In fact, the contradiction between military exercises and environmental protection is common in the world. is not uncommon in . A very typical example is the US Navy. As the world's number one maritime military force, the U.S. Navy is also the navy with the most frequent military exercises in the world. In the Western Pacific alone, the U.S. Navy's various military exercises have exceeded 1,600 times. Moreover, with the growth of China's navy's strength, the frequency of military exercises of the U.S. Navy has a tendency to increase year by year.

But the increasingly frequent military exercises of the US Navy have brought about marine environmental protection issues . According to estimates by the American Animal Protection Organization, the US military's live-fire program has achieved more than 100 military exercises each year, and more than 1.2 million marine mammals are injured every year and more than 10 million fish are injured. Although the accuracy of the data is questionable, a large number of military exercises will indeed bring a catastrophe to marine life .

Judging from the power of modern weapons, a deep-sea blasting exercise can blow all fishes in within a radius of 35 kilometers into "deaf", and losing hearing means that these fish have lost their ability to survive.

Not to mention those unlucky creatures in the center of firepower. Under the power of high-energy explosive , they will only face the ending of being crushed to pieces. Whether it is the giant life as big as whale , or the small life as small as fish and shrimp, they cannot escape.

And the sonar , which is widely used on various types of warships, is also a device that is very harmful to marine life. In recent years, more and more suicide stranding incidents of whales have been believed by scholars to be closely related to the interference of a large number of marine sonar . Moreover, studies have shown that sonar can cause health damage to some individuals in the process of expelling fish. How to deal with the fried fish in

?

It is precisely because military exercises cause great harm to marine life, after each military exercise, a large number of dead fish and corpses of marine mammals will appear in the seas of exercises. In this regard, some military fans will nickname the marine military exercises "Fish Fried Operation" .

There are some rumors that the happiest thing about the Navy is that it does not lack fish to eat. As long as a military exercise is held on the sea, the fish that were killed by alone, will be counted, which is enough for the officers and soldiers on the ship to eat for several months. No matter how much fish-loving people are, they can eat fish and feel nauseous as long as they become a navy.

Will the fish killed after the naval exercise be eaten by the naval soldiers on the ship? In fact, this situation is almost impossible for to appear in the modern navy in . With the logistics level of the modern navy, the food supply on of each warship can be completely overflowed, and there is no need to go to the sea to "fish on site".

For example, our People's Navy's latest level 901 supply ship has a full load displacement of up to 50,000 tons , and the maximum material supply is 20,000 tons. It can hold 156,000 barrels of fuel oil and 75,700 liters of fresh water. There are reverse osmosis membrane freshwater production equipment on the ship, 1,800 tons of ammunition of various models, 450 tons of frozen food, and 250 tons of other groceries.

Theoretically, a 901 ship can meet the 345-day logistics supply of an aircraft carrier formation, not to mention the food supplies brought by each ship. Therefore, the logistics supply of modern navy is basically based on overflow standards.

And those fish that were blown to death during military exercises, whether in terms of hygiene or quality assurance, cannot be compared with the ingredients carefully prepared by the troops. Moreover, marine biological species are complex and diverse. If there are fish with and virus mixed in it, the Navy's epidemic prevention work will be under great pressure. Therefore, whether from a sanitary or a logistical perspective, eating fish that were killed is "risk, but unnecessary".

Generally speaking, the fish that were blown away will be self-purified by the marine system and become the nutrient source for other organisms.

How to reduce the ecological impact

However, although "Naval Fried Fish for Only for Eating" is a rumor that deceives children, the ecological and environmental protection issues of military exercises are also a problem: because environmental protection abandons national defense is obviously a waste of food because of choking, but is there any way to reduce the impact of military exercises in ?

actually has it, and in this regard, our People's Navy is doing just as well as . Before the People's Navy conducts military exercises, the troops will specifically consult marine experts to study the distribution of fish in the relevant sea areas and migration routes, and avoid these areas during the military exercises as much as possible. Especially in areas with rich fishery resources such as East China Sea and South China Sea , the troops pay great attention to the protection of fishery resources.

In addition, when the People's Navy conducts live-fire subjects, it generally uses unmanned islands and abandoned old ships as attack targets, rather than specifying the attack area with just a single stroke. When firepower pours into sea target , the impact of fish and mammals in the ocean will be minimized.

It is worth mentioning that as the People's Navy embarked on the path of "Blue Water Navy ", our military exercise area is actually becoming more and more ocean-oriented, and this will have less and less impact on shallow sea areas. In the ocean area far away from the continental shelf, fish are sparsely distributed on the surface seawater, so holding military exercises here is a better choice.

In short, on the issue of balance between military exercises and ecological and environmental protection, our People's Navy has handed over the excellent answer sheet of . This approach reflects the People's Navy's second largest strength in the world, and also shows the People's Navy's maintenance of peace and stability in the world's maritime pattern.
