SUVA, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- The free medical service offered recently by Chinese naval hospital ship Ark Peace has won praise from Tongans, who have described Ark Peace as the ship of peace, life and friendship.

Currently, Ark Peace is heading for the countries in Central and South America for goodwill visit after wrapping up an eight-day visit to Tonga from Aug. 13 to Aug. 20.

During her stay in Nukualofa, capital of Tonga, Ark Peace fulfilled consultation and treatment for 5,532 persons, conducted auxiliary examinations for 2,598 persons, hospitalized 28 inpatients and performed 34 surgeries.

Coincidentally, the date of Ark Peace's current visit was the same as the first visit to the South Pacific island nation by her four years ago. This is a reunion of friendship and a get-together of happiness as well.

For James Latu, a 26-year-old military doctor in Tonga, it was lucky to reunite with his Chinese teachers in Nukualofa.

On Aug. 13, Ark Peace arrived at Port of Nukualofa. Amidst those greeting the ship on the wharf, a handsome young man, dressed in Changhai Hospital's doctor overall, was extremely excited.

It was Latu, who used to be a trainee of the Chinese Navy's Naval Medical University from 2011 to 2017, majoring in clinical medicine science. He was the first military trainee from Tonga who studied at the Chinese naval university and also the first undergraduate trainee from the South Pacific island nations.

"What a surprise, I could meet with my teachers from China in Tonga," Latu said. He met with his Chinese teachers and told them about his study, life and work after returning to Tonga.

As there is no military hospital at present in Tonga, Latu can only be employed at a local civilian hospital as a military doctor.

"I have a dream to establish the first military hospital in Tonga so that the men and women of His Majesty's armed forces can have their own special hospital like China," he told his Chinese teachers.

"This patient has asthma. Wheezing rale can be heard from the auscultator when expiration," Shang Yan, a doctor with the respiratory medicine department continued to instruct her trainee while treating the local patients. As a medical volunteer from Tonga, Latu was quite busy not only as interpreter but also as assistant doctor.

"I am reminiscent of the days as an intern doctor at Changhai Hospital when working with my teacher shoulder over shoulder to provide consultation and treatment for the public of Tonga," said Latu, showing a photo from his mobile phone taken when he was in China.

The photo depicts that he was treating a Chinese patient under the instruction of his Chinese teacher, Shang Yan. "I quite cherish the memory of good times as a trainee in China. I always take a look at the photos when missing you."

How time flies and it's time to bid farewell again. "I don't know whether or not the next reunion with you is available and when we have the reunion after this meeting," said Latu, who presented his teacher a special gift, a heart-shaped ornament engraved with his teacher's name.

"You are the most welcome to Tonga forever!" Latu bade farewell to his teachers.

Katonga, a 48-year-old accountant at Tonga High School, was given a new life after a successful operation onboard Ark Peace on Aug. 17.

"Thank you, Ark Peace, for giving me rebirth," she said to the Chinese military doctors after receiving a successful invasive chest closed-drainage.

Two years ago, Ikatonga accepted two surgeries at a local hospital as hydrops took place due to pulmonary infection. Unfortunately, the surgeries didn't cure her disease but left a psychological shadow, which is extremely painful, and the scar left after surgery is very conspicuous.

"When I almost lost my confidence, my daughter told me that the hospital ship from China was coming to Tonga for the medical service and that the Chinese military doctors must be capable." As encouraged by her daughter, Ikatonga went to Ark Peace for treatment.

Following embarkation, physical examination, hospitalization, surgery and so on, Ikatonga had her consultation and treatment completed within half a day onboard Ark Peace.

"For this time, I didn't feel any pain from the surgery and there is no scar left," said Ikatonga. Honestly, there is still a great risk on minimally invasive chest closed-drainage. Doctor Han Qinqi with the department of cardiothoracic surgery made deliberate examinations prior to her operation and repeatedly elaborated on the operation plan.

"This letter cannot express my gratitude yet. I will pray for you forever!" Ikatonga recovered quite well following the operation. She wrote a letter of appreciation. "After I am totally recovered, I will go to China to convey my sincere thanks."

Tonga is the fourth stop of Ark Peace's current mission and the ship paid her first successful visit to the South Pacific Island nation in 2014.

有些人喜欢给中国武器找爹,总能从一些中国武器的外部特征上给找到一个甚至几个外国爹,如中国研制的054型护卫舰给找了个法国拉斐特级护卫舰的爹、中国的H/PJ12型7管30毫米舰炮则是被找了几个外国爹,有俄罗斯的AK630、荷兰的“守门员”甚至还有法国的爹。国外及台湾省的一些人热衷于给中国大陆武器找爹的做法毫不奇怪,他们偏执地认为我们就是一个山寨者甚至是偷窃者,以此来贬低中国,而中国大陆持此观点者则实在是不够自信或认知不足。这里丝毫没有否定中国有些武器的确是仿制国外的,中国的全面军事工业基础的建立,本就与苏联就有着千丝万缕的联系,中国的武器走过引进、仿制和自研的道路,仿制国外先进武器对促进中国军事工业的成熟和发展之作用不必讳言,但这不等于找爹论者的观点。

中国海军054型护卫舰于1999年11月通过研制综合论证预审并由此开始总体方案设计,全部设计过程均由中船重工701研究所完成,并无外籍人士参与,而054与法国拉斐特级护卫舰外表上有些类似又能说明什么呢?中国并未获得拉斐特级护卫舰的设计图纸,就算想抄袭都无从下手,所谓“看一眼就怀孕”那是戏言而已。之所以两者外形有些相似,因为都采用了相同的雷达隐身设计,此类设计是世界性的主流设计,美国的朱姆沃尔特级驱逐舰则是将此类雷达隐身做到了近乎“反人类”的水平。类似的找爹行为还有诸如中国052系列及051C型驱逐舰在设计中得到了俄罗斯专家的帮助等等说法,这属于概念不清,舰艇上采用了国外设备不等于是国外协助设计,国外设备在地位上,与舰上成百上千的国内设备一样,属于服务商的地位。

在各类找爹行为中,被黑的最狠且流毒极其广泛的大概莫过于中国海军的730近防舰炮武器,自从该舰炮公开面世以来,各种分析其爹是谁的文章源源不断、五花八门。730近防舰炮武器立项于上个世纪80年代中期,其时,中国海军决定自行研制舰载近防舰炮武器系统,在充分比较及综合评估后,决定采用7管30毫米舰炮方案,并以立项时间赋予工程代号为“857工程”,该近程反导武器系统的型号为H/PJ-12型近程反导舰炮武器系统,系统主要由火控系统、搜索雷达、跟踪雷达、光电跟踪仪、捷联垂直参考基准和7管30毫米舰炮组成。当时与730方案竞争的是6管37毫米近防舰炮方案,7管30毫米方案被采纳。

有一种说法认为,中国的730舰炮的外国爹是荷兰“守门员”舰炮,还有人言之凿凿说中国曾引进了“守门员”舰炮进行仿制。笔者作为对这段历史有一定了解的知情者,可以肯定地说,中国从未引进过荷兰“守门员”舰炮,此说法纯属子虚乌有。730舰炮与“守门员”舰炮都采用了加特林工作原理,但这只是其中自动机部分,在供弹系统上,两者完全不同,730舰炮采用综合体右侧弹鼓无链供弹方式,综合体下部没有供弹系统,即非穿透甲板式;而“守门员”舰炮的供弹系统则是设置在舰炮本体甲板下方的转运间中,为穿透甲板式。730与“守门员”舰炮在外观上有一定程度的相似,但两者在炮架内部结构上完全不同。

还有一种说法认为,中国730近防舰炮是参考了苏联AK630舰炮技术,对于这种缺乏基本常识的说法实在不值一驳,AK630舰炮是内能源驱动,而730舰炮是外能源驱动,这两种舰炮的工作原理和循环动作完全不同,就算基因突变也无法达成。中国兵器工业集团曾引进AK630舰炮并进行了研仿,属自筹资金项目。海军曾在部分舰艇上配置国产630舰炮即PJ-13型舰炮,但由于立靶密集度等各项指标弱于中国自主研制的730近防舰炮,故中国海军在驱逐舰和航母上均配置的是730近防舰炮及其衍生发展出来的1130近防舰炮武器系统,1130近防舰炮从理论上而言,已经将此类舰炮的能力发挥到极致,并占据了世界同类武器的巅峰。

中国在舰炮研究领域的强项是小口径舰炮及舰炮控制系统,在大中口径舰炮及舰炮机械方面的研制能力则相对较弱。早期为弥补不足,曾引进了法国紧凑型单100毫米舰炮,并进行了仿制,但事实证明,法国单100毫米舰炮属于绣花枕头,其设计虽然精巧,但可靠性不佳,中国海军虽进行了仿制,但设计上的先天缺陷太大,在装备了几艘驱护舰后彻底放弃了该舰炮。而引进的俄罗斯AK-176单管76毫米舰炮则在中国得到了极大的发展,该舰炮可靠性极高,当年引起时,俄方曾很自信对中方说,随便你们怎么打,保证不出故障。中国在研仿中对AK-176舰炮的机械部分基本保留,对控制部分则进行了重新设计,重新设计的单管76毫米舰炮国产型号为PJ-26型。随着国产单管130毫米舰炮被研制出来,中国在大中口径舰炮领域的研制能力也得到了突破,而中国电磁炮装舰进行海上定型试验,使得中国在在电磁炮实用化方面又走在世界前列,但怎么给中国电磁炮找外国爹也成为找爹人士的世界性难题。

Some people like to find a father for Chinese weapons. They can always find one or more foreign fathers based on the external features of some Chinese weapons. For example, the 054 frigate developed by China has been found a father from French Lafayette frigate, China’s H/PJ12 7-tube 30mm gun was found in several foreign fathers, including the Russian AK630, the Dutch "goalkeeper" and even the French one. It is not surprising that some people in foreign countries and Taiwan provinces are keen to find weapons for mainland China. They are paranoid that we are a cottage or even a thief, so as to devalue China, and those who hold this view in mainland China are really not confident enough or cognitively inadequate. There is no denying that some of China’s weapons are indeed imitation of foreign countries. The establishment of China’s comprehensive military industrial foundation is inextricably linked with the Soviet Union. China’s weapons have passed the path of introduction, imitation and self-research. The role of foreign advanced weapons in promoting the maturity and development of China's military industry does not have to be rumored, but this does not mean the views of finding foreign fathers.

The Chinese Navy 054 frigate was pre-examined and developed in November 1999. The overall design process was completed by the CSIC 701 Institute. No foreigners participated, and 054 and the French Lafayette frigate What are the similarities on the outside and what would that prove? China has not obtained the design drawings of the Lafayette frigates. Even if you want to plagiarize, you can't start. The so-called "getting pregnant at a glance" is a joke. The reason why the two are similar in appearance, because they all use the same radar stealth design, this kind of design is the world's mainstream design, the American Jumwal-class destroyer is to make such radar stealth almost "anti-human" Level. Similar locating behaviors, such as the Chinese 052 series and 051C destroyers, have been helped by Russian experts in the design, etc. This is unclear. The use of foreign equipment on ships is not equivalent to foreign assistance in design, foreign equipment In terms of status, like the hundreds of domestic equipment on board, it belongs to the status of service providers.

Among all kinds of rumors, the most smashed and extremely poisonous is probably the Chinese Navy’s 730 CIWS. Since the launch of the naval gun, various articles have been analyzed. It is varied. The 730 CIWS was established in the mid-1980s. At that time, the Chinese Navy decided to develop its own ship-to-ship anti-ship gun weapon system. After a thorough comparison and comprehensive evaluation, it decided to adopt the 7-tube 30 mm naval gun program. The project code is “857 Project”, and the model of the short-range anti-missile weapon system is H/PJ-12 short-range anti-missile gun weapon system. The system is mainly composed of fire control system, search radar and tracking radar. , photoelectric tracker, strapdown vertical reference datum and 7 tube 30 mm gun. At that time, the 730 program competed with the 6-tube 37mm near-anti-ship gun program, and the 7-tube 30mm program was adopted.

There is a saying that the foreign father of China's 730 guns is Dutch "goalkeepers" guns, and there are people who say that China has introduced "goalkeepers" guns for imitation. As an insider who has a certain understanding of this history, the author can say with certainty that China has never introduced the Dutch "goalkeeper" gun, which is purely false. Both the 730 gun and the "goalkeeper" guns use Gatling's working principle, but this is only the automaton part. In the supply system, the two are completely different. The 730 guns use the right side of the drum. In the way of bombing, there is no supply system in the lower part of the complex, that is, non-penetrating deck type; and the supply system of the "goalkeeper" gun is set in the transshipment space below the fuselage body deck, which is a through deck type. The 730 has a similar degree of appearance to the "goalkeeper" gun, but the two are completely different in the internal structure of the gun.

There is also a saying that the Chinese 730 CIWS is based on the Soviet AK630 gun technology. The lack of basic common sense is not worth refuting. The AK630 gun is the internal energy drive, while the 730 gun is the external energy source. Driven, the working principle and cycle action of these two guns are completely different, even if the gene mutation can not be achieved. China Ordnance Industry Group has introduced AK630 guns and carried out research and development, which is a self-raised fund project. The Navy has deployed domestic 630 guns, namely PJ-13 naval guns, on some ships. However, because the targets such as the target concentration are weaker than the 730 CIWS independently developed by China, the Chinese navy is on both the destroyers and the aircraft carriers. It is equipped with the 730 CIWS and its developed 1130 CIWS. In principle, the 1130 CIWS has already brought the capabilities of such naval guns to the extreme and occupied the same kind in the world. The pinnacle of the weapon.

China's strength in the field of naval gun research is small-caliber guns and naval gun control systems, and its ability to develop large- and medium-calibre guns and naval guns is relatively weak. In order to make up for the shortcomings in the early days, the French compact single 100mm gun was introduced and copied. However, it turns out that the French single 100mm gun is an embroidered pillow. Although its design is delicate, its reliability is not good. Imitation was carried out, but the congenital defects in the design were too great, and the ship was completely abandoned after being equipped with several destroyers. The introduction of the Russian AK-176 single-tube 76mm gun has been greatly developed in China. The reliability of the gun is extremely high. When it was caused by the time, the Russian side was very confident to say to the Chinese side, how do you fight? No failure. China has basically retained the mechanical part of the AK-176 gun in the research and development, and redesigned the control part. The redesigned single-tube 76mm gun is made of PJ-26. With the development of domestic single-tube 130mm guns, China’s research capability in the field of large and medium-calibre guns has also been broken, and the Chinese electromagnetic guns are being tested at sea, making China in the practical use of electromagnetic guns. Walking in the forefront of the world, but how to find foreign guns for Chinese electromagnetic guns has also become a worldwide problem for those who are looking for fathers.
