The comprehensive supply ship Taihu (Hull 889) attached to the 28th Chinese naval escort taskforce successfully escorted the merchant ship "Jinda" to the designated sea area on March 6, local time.

当地时间3月6日,中国海军第二十八批护航编队太湖舰以随船护卫和伴随护航相结合的方式,成功护送“金达”号商船抵达预定海域。

This is the first time that the Taihu ship has conducted escort missions independently. It also marks the first on-board escort mission for the special operations force of the Chinese naval escort taskforce.

这是太湖舰首次独立护航行动,也是编队首次派特战队员执行随船护卫任务。

The merchant ship Jinda set sail from central China's Tianjin Municipality for Egypt through the Gulf of Aden. It could not take advantage of the Chinese naval escort force's normal escort schedule as its speed is slow and freeboard is low. The 28th Chinese naval escort taskforce therefore dispatched the comprehensive supply ship Taihu to escort the merchant ship Jinda and assigned five special operations soldiers to conduct the on-board escort.

此次太湖舰护送的“金达”号商船从天津启航,经亚丁湾驶往埃及。针对该船不在正常护航班期,且航速较慢、干舷较低等实际,中国海军第二十八批护航编队确定由太湖舰执行伴随护航任务,同时派出5名特战队员执行随船护卫任务。

During the escort mission, the supply ship Taihu used a variety of observation methods to closely monitor the activities of various suspicious targets. Taking into account the actual conditions of the merchant ship, the special operations soldiers revised and improved the anti-pirate plan onboard and conducted anti-pirate exercise with Jinda’s crews.

护航期间,太湖舰综合运用多种观察手段,严密掌握周边各类目标的活动情况。执行随船护卫任务的特战队员根据商船实际情况,与商船船长修改完善反海盗方案,并同船员们开展了反海盗演练。

The 28th naval escort taskforce has successfully provided escorts for 19 Chinese and international vessels in 15 batches and effectively improved its capability to perform diversified military missions.

据悉,编队自执行护航任务以来,已完成了15批19艘中外船舶的护航任务,遂行多样化军事任务能力得到有效提升。
