In recent years, the Chinese Navy has developed rapidly, of which Type 052D destroyers are an important force. However, one may wonder how these 052D destroyers, which are all over the world, do not return to port all year round, so how is it achieved in terms of replenishment and maintenance?
First of all, let's understand the characteristics of the Type 052D destroyer. This type of destroyer has powerful combat capabilities and long-range cruising capabilities, and has advanced weapon systems and equipment. In order to meet the demand for non-return to port all year round, these ships must have good self-sufficiency.
When it comes to supplies, large warships usually carry large quantities of supplies and fuel to support long voyages. The Type 052D destroyer was designed with full consideration of the need for replenishment capacity. They are equipped with an advanced replenishment system, including fuel refill tanks and storage areas that can hold enough fuel, food, water, and other necessities. This allows them to carry out replenishment operations during the voyage to guarantee the completion of difficult tasks.
And in terms of maintenance, the Type 052D destroyer has also taken a series of measures. First of all, the ship is equipped with advanced self-inspection systems and maintenance equipment. These devices can monitor the status of the ship's various components and systems and report any anomalies in a timely manner. The ship's maintenance personnel are professionally trained to carry out routine maintenance and some minor repair work.
In addition, the Chinese Navy has established overseas repair and supply bases in different regions. These bases are strategically located in favor of naval missions and can provide repair and replenishment services for ships. Through these bases, the ship can carry out routine maintenance and more large-scale repair work. When the ship only needs to be restocked, the base can also provide the fuel and supplies it needs.
Finally, the Chinese Navy also engages in military cooperation and exchanges with the navies of other countries. During some missions, the Chinese Navy can receive help and support from friendly countries to replenish and maintain in the ports of other countries, if necessary.
In short, the reason why the two Type 052D destroyers that roam around the world can not return to Hong Kong all year round is due to their self-sufficiency and the careful arrangement of the Chinese Navy. A strong supply system and maintenance capabilities equipped with advanced equipment, as well as the establishment of overseas maintenance and supply bases, allow these ships to carry out tasks in waters far from ports, demonstrating the strength and determination of the Chinese Navy.
