Original title: Be a petrel who fights the wind and waves (Chinese Road Chinese Dream - Work together to work hard).
Hello, my name is Xu Wenqian, and I am a helmsman ...... the Nanchang shipIn the new year, I will continue to be a petrel fighting the wind and waves and guarding the motherland's thousands of miles of sea frontiers." On the evening of January 3 this year, many netizens received a goodnight text message sent by the people's **WeChat, and some people replied "May the sea breeze accompany you to sleep" and "Thank you for the warmth you brought me late at night". I was deeply moved and inspired.
I was born in a military family, and I grew up listening to the red stories told by my elders, and I had the idea of joining the army early. In August 2019, I became the first batch of female helmsmen of the Nanchang ship, and my dream of "going on a big ship and going to the ocean" came true. "Hero City, Hero Ship, Hero Soldier, First Shot, First Ship, First Man. "This is the ship training of the Nanchang ship. From the first day I was on board, I kept it firmly in my heart and inspired myself to keep moving forward.
The Nanchang ship is the lead ship of the Type 055 10,000-ton destroyer independently developed by China. To be a soldier of the first ship, you must be prepared not to be afraid of hardships and have to fight for the first place.
First, the ambition to be a pioneer and take the lead. What was it like to drive the ocean for the first time? In addition to the excitement and pride, there is more nervousness, and severe seasickness. "There's no trick to overcoming seasickness, just hard carrying. "This is the experience passed on by the class leader. Every time I watched after that, I had garbage bags in my pockets. No matter how headache, dizziness, and vomiting are, you must guard your battle position and keep an eye on the course. Slowly, I got used to it when I spit and spit, and I didn't get dizzy when I carried it. Seasickness is the first hurdle that many sailors have to overcome. With determination, there are more solutions than difficulties.
Steering is a technical job, fast, stable and accurate, not only to have a deep theoretical foundation, but also to have rich practical experience. If the steering skills are not proficient, they will work overtime to practice; The distribution of equipment lines is complex, so it is one by one; If you don't understand the connection relationship, you will disassemble and assemble the components one by one and learn them repeatedly. I firmly believe that if you usually "can't get by" with yourself, you will be more confident at critical moments.
"Stability" is the basic skill that a helmsman must practice. Only by always carving the word "stability" in our hearts can we ensure that the warship's trajectory is accurate and its mission will be achieved. In 2021, I went abroad with a ship for the first time to participate in a joint exercise, and I had to be prepared for night sailing and bad weather conditions. After carefully analyzing and predicting every set of data, every sound, and every subtle change, he finally drove the warship to the exercise area safely at dawn. During the exercise, I adjusted the rudder angle and set the course in strict accordance with the rudder order to ensure that the ship was always in the best position for shooting, and helped my comrades-in-arms to hit the first shot. "The 'good start' of the Nanchang ship also has my part. "When the cab burst into applause, I was proud. Only by sharpening in ordinary training and tempering in urgent, difficult, and dangerous tasks can we practice the excellent skills of being able to steer a boat in any sea condition.
To drive a 10,000-ton drive, you must not only have a hard kung fu, but also have the bloody courage to dare to win. During one mission, two foreign ships turned at a large angle in an attempt to cross the formation of our ships that were sailing normally. As the distance between the two sides continued to approach and the situation was critical, I held the steering instrument tightly in the cockpit, obeyed the commander's instructions, and constantly adjusted the course, never allowing the foreign ship to take any chance, and finally the foreign ship turned away. ** It is a mobile land on the sea, and only by practicing skills and improving combat effectiveness can we defend the motherland's thousands of miles of sea frontier at critical moments.
Not long ago, the Propaganda Department awarded the Party Committee of the Nanchang Ship of the Navy the title of "Model of the Times". Sailing more than 100,000 nautical miles, the Nanchang ship left a magnificent track on the open sea. Sailing with the ship again and again, fighting the wind and waves again and again, I have a clearer understanding of the responsibility and mission on my shoulders. As soldiers of the People's Navy and members of the Nanchang ship, we always obey the call of the party and the country and are always ready to fight!
