Named after me after you, the battleship has the same name as the city, and the friendship is deep. "Nanchang", the common name, makes a heroic city and a heroic warship form an indissoluble bond.
In 2016, after 34 spring and autumn periods, with a cumulative voyage of more than 170,000 nautical miles, and successfully completed more than 80 major tasks such as combat readiness patrols and military exercises, the 163 Nanchang ships were honorably decommissioned, spanning more than 1,800 kilometers, and returned to their hometown and returned to their "hometown" Nanchang.
On the August 1st Army Day of the following year, the Nanchang Ship Theme Park was officially opened to the public, and as a new business card of Nanchang City's national defense education, the Nanchang Ship Theme Park became a vivid teaching material for patriotism and national defense education.
In 2016, I retired with this special 'comrade-in-arms', settled in Nanchang, and continued to be a 'soldier' on the ship. Yang Shuangfeng, the person in charge of the Nanchang Ship Theme Park, told reporters that since the opening of the Nanchang Ship Theme Park, he has once again become a "soldier leader", and every winter and summer vacation, he and his colleagues will organize "little sailors" military winter camp and summer camp activities, leading young people to experience the life of sailors, and carry out activities such as cable operations, flag language communication, and naval knowledge quizzes, so as to enrich the marine knowledge of young people.
What pleased Yang Shuangfeng the most was that one of the students he led to visit the Nanchang ship served on the third-generation Nanchang ship after joining the army. The naval officer and soldier in Yang Shuangfeng's mouth is Hu Jiahao.
The experience of visiting the Nanchang ship in middle school planted the seed of serving the country in my heart. In 2021, I finally came to report to the Nanchang ship, and the excitement at that time was really difficult to express in words. At a military port in Qingdao, Hu Jiahao recalled, "When I came to the Nanchang ship, I had a strong sense of intimacy, and I secretly told myself that I must win glory for my hometown." ”
Nanchang people came to the Nanchang ship and continued to write the glory of the hero ship with their youth, which became a good story;The Nanchang ship sent its crew to Nanchang thousands of miles away to jointly play the concerto of double support of the ship city and the glory of the ship.
In 2023, the officers and men of the Nanchang ship came to the No. 5 Primary School of Anyi County, Nanchang City to visit and comfort the students, introduce the situation of the ship to them, explain the knowledge of the sea and navy, and present love schoolbags and school supplies, encouraging the students to brave difficulties and work hard.
The uncles and aunts of Nanchang are very concerned about us, and we will study hard, work hard, and use all our strength to repay the society in the future. Student representative Wan Shuya said.
Although the military and the localities are separated by thousands of miles, the exchanges are particularly warm. In the hearts of the masses of Nanchang City and the officers and men of the Nanchang warship, the city ships are closely connected by a natural bond.
Since its entry into the list in 2020, the third-generation Nanchang ship and Nanchang City have carried out regular visits and condolences and online exchanges. The leaders of the Nanchang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee have led teams to visit the Nanchang ship for many times, and carried out city-ship co-construction activities such as transporting outstanding soldiers, military and local party building, skill training, ship culture construction and inheritance of red genes on a regular basis. The Nanchang ship sent its crew to the Nanchang August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall to study and investigate the "one hall and five sites", visit the heroic model troops and advanced models who came out of Nanchang, and feel the glorious history and absorb spiritual strength on the spot. Nanchang City sent a condolence group that brought together a number of artistic creators to jointly create a culture of double support for the city and the ship.
In the conspicuous position of the passage of the Nanchang warship, a long exhibition board is hung, on which is written on our ship's motto 'Hero City, Hero Ship, Heroic Soldier, First Gun, First Ship, First Man', which was jointly refined by the officers and men of the whole ship at the beginning of the establishment of the warship. Qi Weiguang of the Nanchang warship said that the ship's party committee has formulated the "Plan for the Heroic Culture Building of the Navy's Nanchang Ship," which will permeate the "heroic" culture in all aspects of the unit's ideological and political education, military training, and cultural construction.
The city ships are at the same frequency, chasing the hero's dream together. "The Nanchang ship will live up to expectations, and work together with Nanchang City to gather strength for the dream of a strong army and a strong country, and embark on a new journey of chasing dreams. Qi Weiguang said.
Under the perfect combination of the characteristics of the battleship and the imprint of the city, the spiritual consensus of "hero city, hero ship, heroic soldier, first gun, first ship, first person" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the military and the local government have joined hands to gather the majestic force of military-government and military-civilian unity in the new era, opening a new chapter of double support and joint construction, and spreading the business card of "Nanchang" to the world.
