Under the "miraculous work" of military propaganda photographers, thousands of tons of warships have also been photographed with the effect of "small fishing boats".
Jokes are jokes, but you know what? Every time the aircraft carrier goes to sea, it brings back dozens of tons of seafood, which is much more than that of a fishing boat.
This is not the end, everyone knows how expensive seafood is, but the seafood on this boat, it is not a mouthful, and it has to be destroyed.
Don't be in a hurry to say that we have to be deliberately wasted by the PLA soldiers, there is a reason for this, and you won't eat it after listening to it.
The "invisible enemy" of aircraft carriers: barnacle infestation and prevention
Aircraft carriers, as the hegemon of the sea, are quite mighty and domineering!
However, it is such a sea giant, and it also has its unspeakable "little troubles" - barnacles, these tiny sea creatures, although inconspicuous, can bring a lot of trouble to the aircraft carrier.

Whenever an aircraft carrier returns from a voyage, there is always a large number of marine life attached to the hull, but none of the most troublesome is the barnacles.
It's small, but it's fast-attaching and multiplies quickly, quickly forming a dense layer on the hull.
Even if they are hidden below the surface of the water, they will not affect the aesthetics and domineering appearance of the aircraft carrier with the naked eye, but the biggest impact is that they will have a serious impact on the performance and service life of the aircraft carrier.
If you think about it, the boat went out for a circle, and when it went out, it was fine, but halfway through, the bottom of the boat was already covered with barnacles, and it was getting more and more bloated.
The attachment of these barnacles increases the weight of the hull and the resistance to navigation, leading to a decrease in the speed of the aircraft carrier and an increase in fuel consumption.
If the barnacles are not removed for a long time, they will erode the hull coating, and even more seriously, it may cause damage to the hull steel structure, and the service life of the aircraft carrier will definitely be affected.
In order to protect the ship, even if it is time-consuming and laborious, it must be cleaned and maintained frequently, which will cost a lot of military money, but it can only be done.
In order to cope with this problem, the navies of various countries are actively exploring effective prevention and control methods.
At present, the main cleaning methods include physical cleaning, chemical cleaning and the use of biological antifouling coatings.
Physical cleanup, while direct and effective, is a lot of work and can damage the hull; Chemical clean-ups may pollute the marine environment; However, the effectiveness and environmental protection of bio-antifouling coatings still need to be verified.
At this time, some people will ask, how good it is to eat barnacles!
Unfortunately, these cleaned barnacles are inedible.
Because the barnacles at the bottom of the boat are covered with toxic mucus and other contaminants, eating them can be harmful to human health.
So no matter how expensive barnacles are in the seafood market and how delicious they are, these barnacles cleaned from the aircraft carrier can only be disposed of as garbage.
If we can't eat barnacles, won't we eat seafood? Of course not!
In the "Special Program for the 73rd Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Navy", we deliberately filmed a meal on the aircraft carrier Shandong.
On board the Shandong ship, the cooking squad carefully prepares seven meals a day to ensure that the soldiers can enjoy hot meals at different times.
At breakfast time, the restaurant on the aircraft carrier is lively, and the soldiers line up in an orderly manner to get their meals, and the tables are filled with a variety of food, including fresh fruits, hot porridge, fragrant bread, etc.
Seafood is also an indispensable part, such as tender sea fish, fatty shrimp, etc., providing rich protein and nutrition for the warriors.
Lunch and dinner are even more hearty, with mouth-watering delicacies such as steak with black pepper, bacon with garlic sprouts, and shrimp with broccoli.
In order to meet the taste needs of soldiers from different regions, the chefs on board the aircraft carrier also carefully prepared special dishes covering eight major cuisines.
Whether it is the spicy stimulation of Sichuan cuisine or the light and delicious taste of Cantonese cuisine, you can find satisfaction here.
In addition to the main meal, the Shandong ship also provided intermittent meals and night meals to ensure that the fighters could replenish their energy at any time.
These meals are equally varied and include snacks, fruits, and drinks.
In order to meet the nutritional needs of the fighters, the dietary arrangements on the aircraft carrier also pay special attention to nutritional balance and food variety.
Just seeing these things that our soldiers eat, thinking about barnacles, it's okay not to eat them.
Forget about the delicious food, go to the back kitchen of the aircraft carrier and take a look, there is no ordinary person in the cooking class, at least they have passed the chef level, and the squad leaders have started as senior chefs.
No wonder they all say that whoever you mess with is not to mess with the cooking class, it's all big guys!
It is precisely the intentions of these cooks that our soldiers are now eating well, eating well, and eating some innovative dishes from time to time, which can be regarded as some adjustment in life in addition to performing tasks.
After 136 years, we have the largest warship in Asia!
When it comes to aircraft carriers, we have to mention the Fujian aircraft carrier, which was recently launched for sea trials.
136 years ago, the Dingyuan ship at the end of the Qing Dynasty became the largest warship in Asia with its huge body of 7,000 tons, highlighting the former glory of the Chinese Navy.
However, with the changes of the times in the past hundred years, this glory has gradually dimmed, and it is only in recent years, with the commissioning of the 052D destroyer, that we once again have a warship with a tonnage exceeding that of the Dingyuan ship.
However, before the appearance of the Fujian aircraft carrier, the largest aircraft carrier in Asia was still the Japanese battleships "Yamato" and "Musashi", and such humiliation was mixed with history.
Now the launch of the Fujian marks a new milestone for the Chinese Navy, and our own waist pole is also more rigid.
With a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons, the Fujian has not only become the largest warship in Asia, but also a symbol of China's naval strength.
Back then, General Liu Huaqing's sadness about watching the American aircraft carrier is still in our hearts, and now the veterans who have experienced these histories will feel more than ordinary people when they see the Fujian!
From a longer-term perspective, the launch of the Fujian is not only an increase in the tonnage of warships, but also a microcosm of China's naval strategic transformation and technological progress.
From the yellow water to the deep blue, from small boats to giant ships, the People's Navy is moving forward in continuous exploration.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Navy, and after 75 years of trials and hardships, the People's Navy has gradually developed from scratch and from weak to strong into a modern navy with ocean-going combat capabilities.
When we drive 052D to the Huangpu River for people to take pictures at will, when the bustling city is the background of the warship, the warship guards the prosperity behind it, and the prosperity behind it is also the confidence to support the warship.
That's right, to support the development of the Navy is to support national security and prosperity!
If we do not vigorously develop armaments, should we keep the reparations? This deafening sentence makes people sober and enthusiastic every time they hear it.
The Fujian was launched, even if we don't watch CCTV's ghost photography, we will feel that it is not big enough, it should be bigger!
Write at the end
Barnacles are an obstacle to our aircraft carriers, but they are not big, and in the face of the changing international situation, the poor development of our navy over the years is the hole that needs to be filled the most.
In recent years, everyone has seen the navy's "dumplings", until the recent launch of the Fujian, but no matter what kind of ship it is, it has only been "hot" for three months.

Looking at it this way, today's young people are really happy, and tens of thousands of tons of destroyers even feel that they should be like this, behind this seemingly relaxed and insipid, how many predecessors have worked hard and paid for decades!
Looking forward to the future, our navy will inevitably continue to grow and contribute to safeguarding national interests and maritime rights and interests.
The Fujian is not enough, not big enough and not enough!
In the future, more "national heavy weapons" like the Fujian are needed to gallop on the blue sea and escort the prosperity of the motherland!
