The "Super Nurse" Type 904 Transportation and Supply Ship.

The 904-type transport supply ship in the "Red Sea Action" in the scene is not much, mainly in the movie in the initial anti-piracy operations. This type of transport supply ship was developed from the Type 925 ship salvage/rescue ship and spawned the Type 904A and Type 904B transport supply ships.

There are only two Type 904 transport supply ships, the first ship "Yangcheng Lake" (No. 883) was delivered in March 1992, and the second ship "Jingbo Lake" (No. 884) was delivered in August 1992, and both ships have been commissioned into the South Sea Fleet of China. Both ships were commissioned into China's South Sea Fleet.

The ship has a length of 156.2 meters, a width of 20.6 meters, a draft of 6.8 meters, a full-loaded displacement of 10,975 tons, a maximum speed of 22 knots, and an establishment of 240 people, equipped with two 76-type double-barreled 37 mm guns and two 61-type double-barreled 25 mm guns, with a helicopter deck set on the stern of the ship for the takeoff and landing of a medium-sized helicopter. In addition, it is equipped with four mechanized landing craft with good supply capability to islands without port facilities.

The Type 904 Transportation and Supply Ship is mainly responsible for the supply and personnel change of the troops guarding the islands in Nansha and Xisha, and provides fuel and material supply for the patrol warships in these waters. In the 1990s, as there were no piers built on the Nansha islands and reefs, they had to rely on the four mechanized landing craft attached to the supply ship to transport supplies to the islands.

With the gradual completion of the construction of specialized jetties on the islands and reefs along the coast, the mechanized landing crafts, lacking specialized cargo lifting facilities, are no longer suitable for resupplying these islands and reefs.

And the situation in the South China Sea has been in a serious situation, the reef-keeping forces as a symbol of our control, must be well supported, for this reason, China developed the 904A transport supply ship.

There is only one 904A transport supply ship, namely "Fuxian Lake" (port number 888), served in the South Sea Fleet in 2007. The ship is 171.4 meters long, 24.8 meters wide, full load displacement of 15,000 tons, the bow of the ship set up a 76F-type double 37 mm gun, the transom helicopter platform can be used for straight-8 transport helicopters to take off and land. 3 supply ship has been far from enough, China has developed the 904B type of transport supply ship, the type of supply ship has two, the first ship "Junshanhu The first ship "Junshan Lake" (port number 961), the second for the "Lugu Lake" (port number 962), the two ships were commissioned in July and December 2015, respectively, the South Sea Fleet.

Compared with the previous two types of transportation supply ships, the 904B transportation supply ship has a lot of changes. First, a helicopter hangar has been added to enhance the long-distance vertical supply capability; second, the 37mm gun has been replaced with a more advanced H/PJ15 single-barrel 30mm gun, greatly increasing the firepower; and finally, a specialized medical area has been set up to provide a large amount of medical equipment and more than 30 medical personnel, increasing the medical capability.

The 904-type transport supply ship mainly carries out missions in the South China Sea area, it does not have a large supply crane, does not have the ability to replenish oceanic formations, is not an ocean-going supply ship, and is at best an island supply ship. Although in the movie appeared 904B type transportation supply ship, but involved in the real Yemen evacuation incident is 903 type comprehensive supply ship "Weishan Lake" (gang number 887).

"Weishan Lake" comprehensive supply ship is China's self-designed and built the largest supply ship, which was launched in July 2003, in April 2004 into the South Sea Fleet. According to "Jane's Ships Yearbook" provides data, the type of ship 171.4 meters long, 24.6 meters wide, draught 9 meters, fully loaded displacement of 23,000 tons maximum speed of 19 knots, the crew of 130, scale size than China's previous comprehensive supply ship has been greatly improved. This type of ship is set up in the middle of the hull with a liquid cargo supply gantry and a dry cargo supply gantry, with a helicopter landing platform on the stern.

"Weishan Lake" is currently the main model of China's naval supply ships, capable of any other combat ships in addition to aircraft carriers supply tasks. Since its commissioning, the total voyage of more than 300,000 nautical miles, voyage throughout the three oceans, has visited Asia, Africa, Europe, three continents, more than 20 countries, the successful completion of the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 11th, 14th and 19th batch of escort missions, escorting a total of more than 1,200 days, creating China's naval vessels to carry out the escort mission the largest number of batches, escorting the largest number of merchant ships, the cumulative escort voyage the furthest, the largest number of times at sea resupply, the largest amount of supplies and so on more than 20 new records. The largest amount of supplies, such as the largest amount of more than 20 new records.

Particularly in the 19th batch of escort mission, "Weishan Lake" braved the danger of constant shelling around the dock, and went to Yemen's Aden port, Hodeidah port and Socotra Island five times to safely evacuate Chinese and foreign citizens.
