The China Navy made its debut;
Less than 20 years after the fall of beiyang fleet, the Qing Dynasty ended. In the days that followed, Chengtou changed the flag of the king, but China people were still looking for the possibility of naval revival in the cracks.
1In June, 934, the cruiser Ninghai, which was just launched by the China Navy, went to Yokohama Port to attend the funeral of the famous Japanese Navy Tougou Heihachirou, which once again attracted the attention of the world.
The Ninghai, which attended Tougou Heihachirou's funeral, sailed into Yokohama Port.
Ninghai is106.7m long,1/0.9m wide and has a draft of 3.96m. The displacement is 2526 tons and the speed is 30 knots.
This small dark gray warship looks like our warship. She is majestic, overwhelming other ships at anchor. The author was impressed that although the ship came in a hurry, the painting and maintenance were so perfect and the officers and men on the deck were so agile. In my mind, there are two feelings: "lean and reliable" and "strong enemy"!
At that time, Zuo Shi Fukui, a Japanese naval shipbuilding expert, wrote the above words after witnessing the heroic gesture of Ninghai.
Not only Fukui, but probably many people didn't expect China to have such a modern warship. After the Sino-Japanese War, beiyang fleet was completely annihilated. I crossed the ocean from childhood to learn naval knowledge, committed suicide, exiled, and dismissed. Some survivors will never hear the word "navy" again Since then, China has never had a decent warship.
Thirty years later, the mantle of the navy passed to Chen Shaokuan. This officer, who embarked on a military career under the leadership of the famous Beiyang Navy soldier Sa Zhenbing, has never forgotten the dream of the China Navy.
