Many military fans often ask, what is the origin of a warship that looks like a "luxury cruise ship" and is always followed by the Liaoning ship?

The "China National Defense News" published an article on November 25 introducing the three training ships currently equipped by the Chinese Navy: the life training comprehensive support ship Xuxia passenger ship, the national defense mobilization ship Shichang ship and the comprehensive training ship Zhenghe ship. Many military fans often ask, what is the origin of a warship that looks like a "luxury cruise ship" always accompanying the Liaoning? According to this article, the Xuxia passenger ship is a supporting ship for the domestic aircraft carrier Liaoning. It is mainly used to provide housing, food and other life support for the crew, pilots, aviation maintenance personnel and engineering and technical personnel during a series of sea trials in the later stages of the aircraft carrier outfitting.

The article also specifically mentioned that the Xuxia passenger ship also has many cabins equipped with simulators corresponding to various equipment of the Liaoning ship. The ship is equipped with an advanced broadband data link that can transmit data from various devices during the sea trials of the Liaoning ship. In this way, the aircraft carrier crew on the Xu Xia passenger ship can simulate operations simultaneously, and qualified personnel will be transferred to the Liaoning ship for actual operations, thus shortening the training cycle for the crew.

Revealing the three major training ships of the Chinese Navy

The training ship is a special ship specially used to train personnel and test the combination of personnel and equipment. Ships, in our country, are generally affiliated with naval academies and are specially designed for naval academies to carry out pre-job internship training. Our country's training ships have distinctive characteristics: first, they have a large displacement, a large number of personnel, and a slow speed. Second, the ship has more classrooms and laboratories for naval cadets to practice at sea. Third, the internship subjects are relatively elementary. Most of the sailing areas include sailing around the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and sometimes sailing beyond the first and second island chains into the Pacific Ocean.

In addition, unlike the main combat ships, which are named after cities, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, training ships are named after people. To break it down, the training ships of the Chinese Navy include: Xuxia passenger ship, a life training comprehensive support ship, Shichang ship, a national defense mobilization ship, and Zhenghe ship, a comprehensive training ship.

Xu Xia passenger ship: the logistics group of the Liaoning ship

Many military fans often ask, what is the origin of a warship that looks like a "luxury cruise ship" always accompanying the Liaoning ship? This is the Xuxia passenger ship that provides logistical support to the crew of the aircraft carrier Liaoning. It is a supporting ship for the domestic aircraft carrier Liaoning. It is mainly used for the support of crews, pilots, aviation maintenance personnel and engineering and technical personnel during a series of sea trials in the later stages of the aircraft carrier outfitting. Housing, food and other living security.

Since the sea trials of the Liaoning ship are very diverse, and many subjects are tested repeatedly in the open sea, in order to improve the efficiency of the sea trials and cultivate qualified crew members to the maximum extent, the Xuxia passenger ship is usually used as a maritime companion ship to accompany the ship. The Liaoning ship is on the left and right sides, thus eliminating the need for the aircraft carrier to frequently travel from its home port to the open sea, and greatly improving the speed of aircraft carrier deployment.

In addition to the very advanced living support facilities, the ship also has many cabins equipped with simulators corresponding to various equipment of the Liaoning ship, and the flight simulator is one of them. As we all know, pilot training uses flight simulators extensively. The use of flight simulators can not only improve safety, but also save military expenses and shorten training time.

The Xuxia passenger ship is equipped with an advanced broadband data link, which can transmit data from various devices during the sea trials of the Liaoning ship. In this way, the aircraft carrier crew on the Xu Xia passenger ship can simulate operations simultaneously, and qualified personnel will be transferred to the Liaoning ship for actual operations, thus shortening the training cycle for the crew.

As one of the Liaoning aircraft carrier formations, the Xuxia passenger ship is of great significance to the rapid generation of aircraft carrier combat effectiveness and can be said to be the first in the world. We know that the development of modern aircraft carriers is not only limited by the technical platform of the aircraft carrier itself, but is also directly related to the number and equipment of overseas bases. The reason why the United States is able to have the world's most powerful aircraft carrier force is closely related to the U.S. military's overseas bases around the world. But not every country can have a globally deployed base network like the United States. The emergence of the Xuxia passenger ship can be said to have found a new way to solve the problem of aircraft carrier development and base support. Of course, the Xuxia passenger ship cannot completely replace the existence of overseas bases, but it can reduce the aircraft carrier's dependence on land bases. This is its value.
