In the sea.

The 1601 Coast Guard ship, weighing over 6000 tons, braved obstacles and waves like a car on a highway, sailing at a speed of over 110 kilometers per hour.

Such a massive tonnage is traveling at such a high speed.

This is definitely the first among warships.

However, this also depends on the smaller wind and waves in the East and South China Seas, which are suitable for high-speed navigation of ships.

If the first island chain is formed, the level of surging waves is not comparable to what is currently happening.

Most coastal cities in our country have calm waters and abundant tourism resources such as beaches, thanks to the existence of the first island chain.

Setting aside military affairs, the first island chain is actually a natural barrier in China's coastal areas in terms of geography and hydrology.

Tsunamis and natural disasters are common in countries such as islands and Philippine monkeys, but why is it rare to issue such disaster warnings along the coast of Dragon Country?

If it comes to the coastline, the Dragon Kingdom is much longer than their coastline.

This is actually because of the existence of the first island chain.

Tsunamis, typhoons and other disasters in the ocean have all been resisted by the first island chain countries before reaching Dragon Country!

This is the strict selection of our ancestors!

In terms of military affairs, if Dragon Kingdom recaptures several key islands in the first island chain and incorporates the first island chain into its own sphere of influence.

Strategically, the Dragon Kingdom will also have its own natural Great Wall at sea!

Resist all threats and wars beyond our homeland and near the sea!

During the long voyage at sea, General Cheng and Deputy Commander Wei would talk to Qin Chuan about knowledge related to ocean strategy when they had free time.

Because they really saw this hope in Qin Chuan.

"Commander, in the future, not only will the navy break through the first island chain, but even our coast guards will go to inspect the Great Wall of the sea carefully selected by our ancestors every day!"

"After all, the so-called first island chain has several of the most crucial islands that belong to us!"

Qin Chuan said.

Listening to Qin Chuan's words, the two leaders couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They patted Qin Chuan's shoulder and silently nodded.

After 19 hours.

One hour earlier than expected, the 1601 Coast Guard ship arrived in the South China Sea to participate in the exercise.

Compared to the Chu Island Reef stationed by the blue side, Qinchuan was the first to see the Red side's 002 aircraft carrier combat formation.

Even as early as three to four hundred kilometers away, they could see an aerial surveillance circle composed of J15 carrier based aircraft in the sky.

And now, after sailing close, Qinchuan has seen the full picture of the aircraft carrier battle group.

Firstly, in the area 40 nautical miles away from the 002 aircraft carrier, a Type 55, 000-ton large displacement vessel stepped forward for surveillance.

At close range, the height of a single 10000 ton drive is about 15 floors, which is very impressive.

Continuing to sail towards the 002 aircraft carrier, two 52D destroyers and two 54A frigates were deployed within a semi circular range of 20 nautical miles from the carrier.

Moreover, in the air, in addition to carrier based early warning helicopters carrying out air to sea search missions, there are also more than four times as many carrier based aircraft carrying out cover missions.

As for the rear of the aircraft carrier formation, not only are the carrier's comprehensive supply ships following, but it is estimated that there will also be attacks on nuclear submarines and frigates performing surveillance.

"This is just a single aircraft carrier formation, I don't know how shocking the battle group composed of two aircraft carriers is!"

Qin Chuan said with sincere emotion.

"If our navy wants to move towards deep blue, aircraft carriers are definitely indispensable to us!"

Deputy Commander Wei said on the side.

"In the nearshore, our warships can rely on large early warning aircraft taking off from airports to provide sea surveillance and search missions."

"However, in the ocean, due to the circular shape of the blue star, under the influence of the curvature of the blue star, warship radars' search distance for sea targets can only be a few tens of kilometers."

"So we must develop our own ocean going aircraft carriers. In the ocean, only carrier based early warning aircraft taking off from aircraft carriers can have the ability to search for sea targets over hundreds of kilometers!"

Chief Cheng added.

Because a blue star is a ball, the radar of any sea surface ship is affected by its curvature.

In order to reduce this impact, each warship wants to have its radar antenna rack raised high.

But no matter how high the radar antenna rack is, even a few tens of meters is already sky high.

Which carrier based early warning aircraft can fly directly into the sky for several kilometers, with a wide range of radar searching for sea targets in the air?

If one side does not have an aircraft carrier, it is just an ordinary fleet.

Without approaching the other party for only a few tens of kilometers, it is impossible to detect their presence at all.

But aircraft carriers can rely on the presence of airborne carrier based early warning aircraft to detect and lock in hundreds of kilometers in advance, and achieve destruction through beyond visual range strikes!

Aircraft carriers are definitely an indispensable part of modern ocean warfare!

While everyone was speaking, a shipborne armed helicopter suddenly flew from a distance and docked on the flight deck of the maritime police ship.

"This is the helicopter that the director's office is coming to pick us up."

"General Qin, the 1601 Coast Guard ship is joining the aircraft carrier formation. How about we go to the director's ship to watch the battle?"

Deputy Commander Wei asked Qin Chuan.

"Okay, follow the leader's arrangements!"

Qin Chuan nodded.

Before everyone left, Captain Liu Hong excitedly saluted and bid farewell to the crowd on the coast guard ship.

"General Qin, watch me play in the director's office!"

"Make sure to surprise everyone with the stealth law enforcement warship of the Coast Guard!"

Captain Liu Hong emphasized to Qin Chuan!
