"The world is so big, I want to go and see it." With the service of a large number of new advanced ships, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Navy has undergone earth-shaking and transformational changes. The most significant sign is that the number of days of Chinese Navy ships going to sea has increased significantly, and their combat readiness capabilities are unprecedentedly strong. They can already compete with the US Navy and are the "busy" navy in the world.

The Chinese Navy is moving forward step by step quickly and is obvious to all. But there are always some people who say that the Chinese Navy does not always carry out missions in the long sea like the US Navy and lacks experience in ocean navigation. Then the "practical combat parties" rushed up one after another and sighed: A navy that has not been baptized by actual combat has no combat effectiveness.

They are actually talking about old almanac. The early Chinese navy had less average annual time to go to sea, which is indeed well documented. This is mainly because our navy was not strong in the early years, the degree of modernization was not high, and the military expenditure was also very limited, so we had fewer days to go to sea. Even in the early 21st century, the average annual number of seaborne days for the main naval battleships of the Chinese Navy was only about 20 days, usually no more than 30 days, and the annual voyage mileage of the main ships was less than 5,000 nautical miles.

For example, the retired Chongqing ship, from its service in 1983 to its retirement in 2014, has sailed only more than 150,000 nautical miles, and has only 16,000 hours of navigation. The average annual voyage is only 4,800 nautical miles, and the average annual time to sail is only 20 days.

At present, the annual voyage mileage of the main battleship of the Chinese Navy exceeds the highest level of NATO . The Chinese Navy's warship goes to sea on average for more than 200 days every year, and has remained on par with the US military and has become the world's top navy!

Not long ago, the Chinese Navy just announced that the first ship of the 055 large missile destroyer, the 101 "Nanchang Ship", has sailed more than 70,000 nautical miles in just two years. In just one year, I sailed through the Sea of ​​Japan, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, the Bering Sea, and the Western Pacific and the North Pacific.

Recently, the 101 "Nanchang Ship" entered the Sea of ​​Japan again, and then joined forces with the Russian Navy to patrol . It is very likely to go to Alaska or Hawaii for a walk, which added another 10,000 nautical miles of navigation. It is equivalent to sailing 80,000 nautical miles in two years, with a annual voyage of more than 40,000 nautical miles.

Annual voyage mileage of 40,000 nautical miles per year is approximately the same as the combat readiness level of the main surface ships of the US Navy, and is more than that of the navies of all European countries.

You should know that 101 "Nanchang" is still a new warship that has just entered service. Moreover, the high-intensity airspeed rate of the Nanchang ship is not an isolated case. For example, the 055-Drival No. 2 102 "Lhasa" ship was put into service in March last year and passed the full training in a short time. Then there were 8 sea exercises. The high level of its airline rate clearly reflects China's superb shipbuilding technology and the strong combat readiness capabilities of the Chinese Navy.

Every time I mention the great progress of the Chinese Navy, there are always people who say that the Chinese Navy lacks combat experience and that the Chinese Navy has not experienced actual combat. They are actually ignorant and do not know the following knowledge:

Generally speaking, the battle rate of ships in navigation is one of the most important indicators to measure the combat effectiveness of the navy. The time of ships is an important indicator of naval ships. The above indicators directly determine whether naval warships can come in handy when needed. The indicator of

is further decomposed, which is the reliability indicator of ship systems, weapons and equipment, and the application of fleet human resources, which reflects a country's economic capabilities, basic industrial level and organizational capabilities.

The strength of naval combat effectiveness, the technical performance of ships only accounts for a small part, and most of the measurement indicators are the organization of weapons and equipment applications and human resources. In other words, the navy is used, not made.

, the same as the annual flight hours of the Air Force, the annual number of days of the ships and the average annual navigation mileage of the naval battleship are important symbols of the combat effectiveness of various countries, showing the overall combat readiness and combat capabilities of a navy.

The relatively weak navy mainly guards the territorial sea and rarely performs offshore missions, so the annual voyage mileage is very short, only a few thousand nautical miles. The more days a navy goes to sea, the higher the quality of its personnel, the better the maintenance ability of the ship, and the strong combat capability of the main battleship. A navy that always hangs in the port must have no future.

has a typical reverse side that can best illustrate the problem. After the collapse of in the Soviet Union, although in the fixed asset ledger, it theoretically has a large number of surface warships and nuclear submarines , its annual voyage mileage and number of days to sea are pitifully small. The average number of days to sea for the main cruiser and destroyer is less than 40 days and the mileage mileage is less than 500 nautical miles.

The Peter the Great nuclear-powered cruiser has a clear record of only 20 days in the year, and the three Glory-class missile cruisers have a year in the number of days in the sea. It was not until after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine war that the Russian Navy's Moscow missile cruiser was sunk, and people discovered that the Russian Navy's external strength was strong and the middle was in trouble.

The navy of the world's major powers mainly focuses on ocean missions. The main ships sail in the vast ocean depths and carry out actions to defend and seize national interests. Their annual navigation mileage is very large, reaching tens of thousands of nautical miles.

Our naval official confirmed in 2019 that nearly two-thirds of the Chinese Navy's combat ships sail on the sea every year, with an average annual trip of more than 200 days. On average, dozens of Chinese Navy crews and hundreds of ships are on sailing missions every day.

lanshui navy , it is not something you can say casually.

Ocean Navy is not just built by just a few large warships.

Powerful navy, must be shaped by heavy oil , ammunition, steel and the sweat and blood of sailors.

A hundred-year-old navy is not something you can have for a hundred years when you are casually surround the port and dock.

China's strong navy has a long way to go, we will wait and see!
