The Chinese Navy's "Peace Ark" hospital ship set sail for the designated sea area. On September 11th at 0:00, the Chinese Navy's "Peace Ark" hospital ship, which was carrying out the "Harmony Mission 2023" mission, sailed through the Banda Sea area, with a total voyage of 280800 nautical miles, equivalent to 13 circles around the Earth's equator. The "Peace Ark" is a large-scale ocean medical rescue platform designed and built by China, with a capacity of 10000 tons. It is mainly responsible for the medical rescue and evacuation of wounded and sick at sea during wartime. It patrols the residents of our islands and reefs and military officers and soldiers during peacetime, performs tasks such as international humanitarian medical services, emergency medical rescue for major disasters, and foreign military medical exchanges and cooperation, filling the gap in the construction of the Navy's ocean medical support capacity. The "Ark of Peace" has gone abroad 11 times and participated in major exercises and exercises 18 times. On December 13, 2019, the Central Propaganda Department awarded the Navy's "Peace Ark" hospital ship the title of "Model of the Times". Deng Qiang, the captain of the "Peace Ark" hospital ship, introduced that since joining the fleet for 15 years, the "Peace Ark" has gone abroad 9 times to carry out the "Harmony Mission" mission, with a global trajectory and a total of 45 countries and regions visited. Unlike other ships, hospital ships often carry out tasks on a single vessel, passing through unfamiliar sea areas with complex berthing conditions, and requiring high professional technical expertise from officers and soldiers. Especially in some visiting countries and regions where the port waters are narrow and there are many obstacles to navigation in shallow shoals, it is sometimes necessary to operate without tugboats or pilots. In recent years, the "Peace Ark" has carried out pilot reforms in ship maintenance and equipment management systems, possessing the ability to quickly troubleshoot and repair faults during navigation, and always maintaining the ship in good condition. In the "Harmony Mission 2023" mission, the "Ark of Peace" provided 7-day humanitarian assistance and medical services to Kiribati, Tonga, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and East Timor, respectively. While ensuring the basic support of the ship platform, it dispatched more than 10000 crew members to undertake security checks, medical guidance, and alert work, providing strong support for the smooth progress of medical services, and achieving high standards in ship etiquette, cultural and cultural exchanges Deck reception and other work to showcase the good image of Chinese naval vessels and soldiers. According to the navigation plan, the "Peace Ark" will end its "Harmony Mission 2023" mission on September 19th and arrive at a military port in Zhoushan. The Chinese Navy's "Peace Ark" hospital ship has completed its visit to Kiribati and departed from Tarawa Port. Guijiangbo photographed the Chinese Navy's "Peace Ark" hospital ship sailing at sea.
