Unlike the conventionally powered aircraft carrier Guangdong, which was launched half a year ago, the Jiangsu is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of 98,000 tons, and is also China's first nuclear aircraft carrier.

As a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, China has applied a large number of new technologies to the Jiangsu ship, the most obvious being that it does not use a steam catapult system that wastes a huge amount of fresh water resources, but directly uses an electromagnetic catapult that is more efficient, easier to maintain, and convenient and fast.

Like the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the United States, the Jiangsu ship is also equipped with four electromagnetic catapults on the bow and beveled decks respectively, and can take off 24 aircraft in combat formations within half an hour, and can also take off large and medium-sized aircraft such as electronic warfare aircraft, air early warning aircraft, and air tankers on the deck, further enhancing the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.

The number of standard carrier-based aircraft of the Jiangsu ship is 87, which can reach about 120 at most, but considering that the domestic experience in the operation of aircraft carriers is still not enough, it is not fully loaded, but only carries 24 J-15 and 8 J-31, 6 J-16 and other types of aircraft, a total of 45.

Although the Jiangsu has been delivered to the navy, it has not yet held an induction ceremony, and is currently docked in the military port waiting for the arrival of its frigate. Underwater protection forces, the command of the Navy plans to equip it with an 093 Merchant-class attack nuclear submarine and two conventionally powered submarines. On the water, a 052D missile destroyer and two Type 054A frigates have entered the Zhoushan military port, while there are two 056 light anti-submarine frigates, and two logistics supply ships are assembling in Zhoushan.

When Xia Yu arrived at the Zhoushan Military Port, it had been a few days since the maiden voyage of the Jiangsu ship, and the heavy news that China's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was about to hold an entry ceremony and launch its maiden voyage made Zhoushan almost full of reporters, and the whole city was very lively, very noisy.

However, in the military port, the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, and there was no hurry. Mu Shaoqing came to receive Xia Yu in person, because tomorrow is the entry ceremony, so he no longer arranged for Xia Yu to stay in the hotel, but after reporting with Xia Yu and meeting with Zhou Qiming, he was ready to take Xia Yu to the living quarters of the Jiangsu ship, and in the next three months, Xia Yu will live on the aircraft carrier.

"Look, this is the Jiangsu ship, how about it, it's beautiful, right?" Mu Shaoqing took Xia Yu to the port and said triumphantly. Xia Yu had seen part of the hull of the Jiangsu ship from afar, but it was not until he was standing on the harbor now, looking at the ship docked on the shore, that he felt that although the hull of the Jiangsu ship was larger than that of the Liaoning, the bridge had become much smaller.

"The length of the Jiangsu ship has reached 323 meters, the width is 76 meters, the displacement is 98,000 tons, and if it is fully loaded, it can reach 110,000 tons, which is almost twice as long as the Liaoning ship." Mu Shaoqing walked into the hangar with Xia Yu, pointed to the almost empty parking area and said: "Tomorrow is the entry ceremony, in order to watch the majesty on TV, the carrier-based aircraft have been transported to the deck and parked." ”

Xia Yu had a black line in his head, and he could already imagine the picture when the colorful flags on the hull of the ship fluttered, the deck was full of carrier-based fighters, the majestic and mighty nuclear-powered aircraft carrier sounded its whistle, and after sailing majestically away from the military port under the escort of more than a dozen ships and submarines, as soon as it left the sight of the news media, everyone hurriedly emptied the deck as if they were burning their butts.

Pouting, Xia Yu did not comment, because when the next day entered the ceremony, it was really as he thought, and the entire aircraft carrier formation, including the port, was dressed up in a fancy way.

The military port was full of colorful flags and balloons of various colors, the guests and the news media who watched the ceremony filled the entire wharf, the military band played music almost non-stop, and the national flags, the August 1 military flag, the navy flag, and small colored flags of various colors were hoisted on the ships and hunted with the sea breeze.

On the deck, the navy soldiers uniformly dressed in white ceremonial uniforms lined up along the ship, ready to be inspected by the leaders, after that, they also had to listen to the leaders' speeches, hold military parades on the deck, and take group photos of officers and soldiers, and the time required for the entire entry ceremony was as long as three and a half hours, which was quite a toss-up.

Xia Yu, as a special flight instructor, was only temporarily assigned to the air crew of the Jiangsu ship, but he did not need to be included in the pilot formation to be reviewed, on the contrary, Mu Shaoqing pulled him to participate in the leadership team to review, which made Xia Yu, who had only been reviewed, a little embarrassed, although after the Shenlong, his military rank was promoted to colonel, and it took him a few years to get to the promotion of others for more than ten years, so there was no real sense at all.

With the end of the induction ceremony, the Jiangsu ship raised its whistle and slowly sailed away from the military port surrounded by the frigate group. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the reddish sea surface is connected with the fiery clouds in the sky, and it is impossible to distinguish the position of the sea horizon. The seabirds chirped crisply, preparing to fly back to their nests, and the news screen on TV showed the Jiangsu ship and its frigate group heading for the distant ocean getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the already orange sunset.

The picture on TV is beautiful, but the ships of the aircraft carrier battle group are not beautiful, and the naval fighters are busy. After the fleet left port, they had to take off their naval uniforms, change into overalls, and then start to climb up and down to remove decorations such as colored flags and balloons, and the naval soldiers of the Jiangsu ship had to transport all the carrier-based aircraft parked on the deck to the hangar for fixation, and then they had to clean and inspect the deck before they could start dinner, and some of the naval soldiers had to change shifts with the fighters who had been on duty all day as soon as they finished eating, which was really frustrating.

"Why are you parked side by side, there is such a big piece of pigeon on my plane, but there is not even a single bird feather on your plane, it's so unfair." The familiar shouting voice came, it was Zhou Ling. This guy was also transferred to the Jiangsu ship, at the moment he was standing on the ladder and wiping the wings of his car with a towel, and the flock of pigeons released after the previous entry ceremony swept over the aircraft carrier, leaving a lot of traces of feces and urine, and his J-15 was unfortunately taken care of by the group of white pigeons.

"Be content, look at the one next to you." It was Lin Hao, who was from the same old army as Xia Yu, who was complained about by Zhou Ling as being unfair, at this time Lin Hao looked at Zhou Ling's back Nunu mouth, Zhou Ling looked at it, and immediately became happy, gloating and said: "Haha, Sun Fei, you are much worse than me." ”
