"yes, Ise. The second ship of the Hyuga class is under the fence after all. It would be nice to have this thing. ”

Before participating in the exercise, the participating ships of various countries summarized Chen Ming and they all received. If it weren't for that, Chen Ming really wouldn't be able to recognize this big guy at a glance.

Stuck under the aircraft carrier, it is not like the destroyer or frigate of the main force of the general naval fleet. In addition to Japan, what Chen Ming knows, that is, France has such a thing.

And by watching from afar, Chen Ming also had to sigh. If you can build a helicopter carrier, then it is not too difficult to build a real aircraft carrier from a technical point of view, not to mention that Japan was not an aircraft carrier-free country during World War II.

Look at it now..... Forget it, it will be difficult to change the name of the "Maritime Self-Defense Force" to the "Navy" when it will be.....

"Report to the captain, and give the order. Start standing on the slope and blow the whistle when you enter the port! ”

"Oh, that's communication! Let's go, Lao Chen, it's time for us to play. ”

Hearing the report of the communications soldier, Political Commissar Huang smiled and picked up the big-brimmed hat on the table and got up and said.

"Order, stand slope salute begins! A minute later, the whistle sounds! ”

After glancing outside the cockpit, he estimated the arrival time of the warship. Chen Ming opened his mouth to order, and at the same time, like Political Commissar Huang, he picked up his big-brimmed hat and walked quickly towards the bridge.

The standing slope salute, which belongs exclusively to the navy, was originally only used to show that no one on the ship was left in the battle position, which was regarded as a way to express friendship. Later, it gradually evolved into a special etiquette when the two armies met, and naturally there was also a set of implementation methods.

Generally speaking, it is enough to stand on the side of the hill close to the other side. But now there are a lot of warships docked on the left and right sides of the 575 ship, so the officers and men have to widen the distance a little, and stand in a circle around the warship.

Similarly, as the captain of a ship, the captain also has his own place in the standing slope salute. That is, a small platform under the radar base on the top of the bridge. As a standable person, the highest point of the whole ship, this position also represents the identity of the captain. Of course, the commissar is also here.

In addition to Chen Ming, the new face of this year's RIMPAC military exercise, there is actually a Brunei Navy. It's just that almost no one is interested in them, and a small frigate, which does not even have the ability to sail long distances, really cannot attract the interest of the navies of the countries on shore. And now with the whistle of the 575 ship, the crowd in the port unconsciously began to gather.

Chen Ming, who was standing straight on the bridge, saw this scene at a glance. Although the exercise had not officially begun, Chen Ming suddenly felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Even in recent years, the domestic navy has not visited some countries. But relatively speaking, it is still relatively closed-loop. The rest of the world's understanding of us is also very limited.

I think of what the instructor said in the pre-departure training. Chen Ming was still a little unimpressed, after all, how many batches of escorts in the Gulf of Aden had been executed, how could he still say such things? But now, Chen Ming can only say "really fragrant.....

As the lead ship of the formation, the 575 ship naturally attracted more attention. However, there was a lot of discussion on the shore, and Chen Ming had no time to take care of it at this time.

As soon as the salute ended, the voice of the bald eagle officer on the shore who was responsible for guiding the warship to berth was heard from the very high frequency on the ship.

"Welcome to Guam to participate in our RIMPAC military exercise, your ship's berthing port is located 20 degrees to the starboard side of your ship, 15 chains away, you can see those vacant docks after passing!" Thirty-nine

"20 degrees on the starboard side, 15 chains away! Thank you for your invitation and thank you for your guidance. Supply Team Commander! ”

After repeating the order, Chen Ming symbolically politely turned his head and directed the warship to slowly approach the dock.

Dock and wait for the foreign officers and soldiers on the shore to set up the gangway. The officers and men of the foreign ships were surprised to find that the officers and men on this ship did not have the slightest kind of impatience to get off the ship or cheer after drifting on the sea for a long time and getting on land.

The sailors who had work continued their work as if no one was around, while the soldiers who did not have work stood in a straight line on the deck. Let the sea breeze blow the streamers behind your head.

About ten minutes later, all four ships of the formation were berthed. Chen Ming stood on the bridge and saw a group of foreign officers stepping on the 186 ship, which was the flagship of the formation, from a distance, and laughing and talking with the commander of the formation.

The content of the conversation, Chen Ming thought about it with his buttocks, and knew that it was nothing more than those official clichés. Looking at Zheng Yuanhai's professional smirk behind the ass of the group, Chen Ming almost secretly laughed.

From some points of view, there are also benefits to improper flagships .... For example, in one's own one-third of an acre of land, he is the boss......

"Captains, please note that according to what Admiral Waterhouse has just said, we will have to anchor here for 20 hours and wait for the South Korean Navy to converge."

Chen Ming, who was thinking wildly, was suddenly called into the conference room by the communication soldiers. Looking at the screen in the middle of the conference room, the fingered face, Chen Ming listened quietly.

"The meal is about to start, and before the meal, each ship organizes its own ship meeting to emphasize the precautions for the soldiers to get off the ship. Then after lunch, the fighters who wanted to get off the ship were allowed to relax. Before 6 o'clock in the afternoon, all officers and men must return to the ship, and each ship should pay attention to counting the number of people, and at 7 o'clock each ship will report the situation on time. ”

"Also, captains, commissars. After the ship meeting, change into a dress and assemble at the 186 ship, and Admiral Waterhouse will give us a reception. ”

After listening to the command of the fingers, Chen Ming opened his wrist and looked at his watch. Now that it was almost eleven o'clock, he hurriedly turned on the captain's radio, cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Comrades, in order to wait for the arrival of the South Korean Navy, we will stay here for 20 hours. It will set sail on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning to the exercise area of the RIMPAC military exercise, the waters off Hawaii. ”

"Taking care of the big guy, who has been floating at sea for more than five days, the editor has just agreed to let the soldiers get off the ship and rest after eating! Visit! ”

A good hatch couldn't block the cheers coming from outside, Chen Ming smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth and continued.

"Don't get too excited, let's talk about the discipline requirements."

"You're all veterans, and you studied the secrecy rules before they came, and I don't want to repeat them any more. You remember, it's okay to communicate with foreign soldiers, and it's okay to take a group photo, but what to say and what not to say, you have to break a string in your heart. ”

"In addition, the soldiers who leave the ship are in squads, and it is strictly forbidden for the fighters to move alone. Squad leaders, take responsibility for taking care of and supervising their respective fighters. Before 6 p.m., all those who left the ship must return to the ship. ”

"If you want to leave the barracks area to visit, you should report to Deputy Chief Zou in advance."
