Xiang Yanghong 1 incident

At 14: on August 23rd, 22, an incident happened: the scientific research ship "Xiang Yanghong 1" (with a displacement of 1,975 tons) belonging to the Ministry of Land and Resources of China was conducting scientific research in the Diaoyu Islands of China, and at 14: 27, two Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force "Cunyu" class guided missile destroyers appeared in the sight of the crew of "Xiang Yanghong 1". Ship name: "Electric" (No.DD-15) and ship name "Mayrain" (No.DD-16) formed a "V" formation and quickly approached our scientific research ship at high speed. Xiang Yanghong 1 had to pull anchor and set sail at the same time sent an urgent telegram to our people's navy for help.

"Xiang Yanghong 1" ocean-going research ship

Xiang Yanghong 1 is a large-scale comprehensive marine scientific investigation and ocean-going communication ship developed for the whole flight test of long-range launch vehicle (code 718 project) for the first time in China. Its mission and tasks are:

to explore the sea test range;

issue short-term and medium-term weather forecasts and dangerous weather warnings in the sea area, and provide hydrological and meteorological support for the test fleet and rocket flight test;

Investigate the gravity field and magnetic field of the earth to provide data for trajectory correction;

ensure the transmission of information and the prediction of communication frequency during ocean-going communication and test;

To investigate the underwater acoustic information and provide the underwater acoustic information for underwater salvage of the rocket data module;

undertake helicopter telemetry tasks, etc.

according to the conventional classification of foreign ships, the ships undertaking the above tasks should be three different types of special ships, namely, ocean survey ships, weather ships and communication ships. However, due to the financial difficulties at that time, the ship integrated the characteristics of three types of ships and was designed as a large multi-purpose ship. The ship has 1 decks, used nearly 7, tons of steel, installed nearly 9, instruments and equipment, laid nearly 29 kilometers of pipelines and more than 19 kilometers of cables, and its construction capacity is equivalent to three 1,-ton cargo ships. In addition to all kinds of instruments, equipment and laboratory rooms of a general marine comprehensive survey ship, the ship is also equipped with:

a large ship-borne helicopter system, which can meet the requirements of a "Super Hornet" helicopter for long-term use at sea;

Meteorological center system, which can undertake short-term weather forecast and dangerous weather warning;

All-weather ocean-going communication system can guarantee multi-network and large-capacity all-weather data communication and relay special messages;

High-power underwater acoustic system, which can continuously test underwater acoustic and sonar equipment for a long time;

deep diving work boat system.

It can be said that there is no second unique ship type like this among the numerous marine survey ships in the world. Therefore, the Japanese magazine "World Ship" called the ship a large special ship when reporting it.

the research and design of the ship began in February 1971, construction started in July 1975, and the ship was delivered in October 1979. After many offshore delivery tests and ocean-going professional expansion tests, it is proved that the various performances of the ship have reached or exceeded the design indexes stipulated in the tactical and technical task book, and met the use requirements, and won the first prize of the overall design of major scientific and technological achievements in 1979 by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission. The ship has successively completed China's first launch vehicle test into the Pacific Ocean, the first Antarctic scientific expedition, the establishment of the Great Wall Station in Antarctica, and the first scientific expedition to the South Pacific Ocean, and achieved fruitful results. In 1985, the ship won the first national science and technology progress award in China.

main dimensions of Xiang Yanghong 1:

total length: 156.2m

. With twin propellers and rudders, and a propeller on the rudder, and an anti-sway fin at the midship of the ship, the maneuverability and seaworthiness of the ship are excellent. You can keep sailing in the 12-level wind, and you won't sink in any case where two cabins are flooded.

"Xiang Yanghong 1" mainly undertakes the investigation and study of ocean hydrology, meteorology, underwater acoustics, physical chemistry, geophysics, geology and geomorphology, marine life, etc., and serves the development of marine science and marine resources. In order to carry out the above-mentioned scientific research work, the ship is equipped with various scientific research equipment: < P > 1. Helicopter apron and hangar. The apron covers an area of 533 square meters, and the top of the hangar is equipped with a control tower and navigation platform.

2. There is a 28-ton crane on the front deck for hoisting and recovering the submersible.

3. A complete meteorological system includes: meteorological rocket launching system, balloon sounding system, wind and rain radar, satellite cloud image reception, meteorological fax and other equipment, which can make short-term and medium-term meteorological forecasts.

4. The communication system of high-power transmitter and other communication equipment can simultaneously carry out long-distance communication in two directions and general communication between ship, ship shore and ship air. The antenna for long-distance communication is elevated at the top of the fore mast and the aft mast, and many whip antennas are erected around the compass deck and the driving deck.

5. Equipped with advanced navigation equipment, including satellite navigation and positioning system, it can sail safely around the world and meet the requirements of high-precision positioning in marine survey. The satellite navigation and positioning antenna is placed on the top deck of the hangar.

8. Full air conditioning system provides a comfortable working and living environment. When the outside air temperature is-18℃ ~ 35℃, keep it indoors at 2℃ ~ 27℃.

"Xiang Yanghong No.1" sailed to the so-called China sea area by the Japanese under the attack of the Japanese warship, and the 76mm main gun and 2mm MK phalanx fast gun on the Japanese warship were fixed on our scientific research ship at a fighting angle. At 14: 5, the crew was angered by a broken Chinese sentence from the Japanese ship's tweeter, "China spy ship, get out of here! Get out of Japan's territorial waters! " . A crew member opened the armory, "Click! Click! " The bolt rattled. Song Dekun, once a retired gunner of a navy ship, jumped at the 37 mm gun position and shouted, "Let you see whose territory this is!" . There was a lot of ridicule on the Japanese ship, because although our scientific research ship has 1, tons, it only has a 37 mm gun and a 25 mm gun for anti-piracy. The Japanese ship laughed and laughed, but immediately left our gun range and continued to ask us to move forward. "break down! Homework! " Captain Wang Changgui's words echoed on the cold sea through the loudspeaker. The Japanese ship lights and flags again, and an ultimatum is given at 15: 2. If it doesn't leave 3 minutes later, it will be sunk.

The crew of "Xiang Yanghong No.1" worked normally like nobody's watching, and the time was ticking. The ship was silent, except for work or work, time and air seemed to freeze. The operator Zhang Ping suddenly rushed into the command module. "Captain! Let's hit it! " Li Jingcai, the second mate, asked, "Zhang Ping, have you contacted?" "Alas, the sound of snowflakes!" The command cabin was quiet again. After about five minutes, the captain Wang Changgui said coldly, "Let's not discuss it either. I don't think there are any cowards on the Xiang Yanghong 1, and we are going to destroy the data and anchor and hit the Japanese ship!"

15: 41: 27? Ding Xiaojun, the lookout, cried all over the 1,-ton ship. "Five-star red flag! Red flag with five stars! Our warships! Our-our-army-ship! "

The Chinese People's Navy's 51 "Lvda" class warship arrived alone nine minutes before the ultimatum of the Japanese ship. The guns of the 51 ship rang in the air, and the lights flashed: "Japanese warship, you are entering China's territorial waters! Please fly back! " Then four naval guns rang in unison. The Japanese ship still didn't move but didn't answer, but all the guns were aimed at our navy "51" ship. Two minutes later, there was a small * * * on the Japanese ship. There was a huge roar in the sky, and two J-7 fighters were covered with rocket nests and air-to-air missiles, passing at an ultra-low altitude only 5 meters from the Japanese ship. Immediately after that, the Japanese ship turned around at high speed and retreated in panic. Our navy "51" took the second ship alone and passed the tall hull of "Xiang Yanghong 1" in a "three" shape. The crew of "Xiang Yanghong 1" cried and crowded to the side of the "51" ship: "Long live the China Navy! Long live the navy! -long live! ! ！” At 15: 55, the second ship disappeared from the sight of the crew of Xiang Yanghong 1. Twenty-five minutes later, four brand-new "Flying Leopard" fighter bombers each hung two C-82 air-to-ship missiles, making a friendly and naughty circle over the head of "Xiang Yanghong 1". All our crew members cried and fell to their knees on the deck: "The people of China are invincible! -invincible! "
