近日，由导弹护卫舰柳州舰、宿迁舰、荆门舰，以及综合补给舰微山湖舰组成的南部战区海军远海训练编队，历时近一个月，6700多海里的昼夜连续航行，经南海跨越赤道，赴苏拉威西海、西太平洋等海域开展实际使用武器、联合防卫、航行补给等20多个实战化课题演练。
BEIJING, June 7 -- Recently, a naval flotilla under the PLA Southern Theater Command successfully completed a month-long open-sea training exercise after sailing more than 6,700 nautical miles along the waters of the South China Sea, the Sulawesi Sea and the Western Pacific.
The warships participating in the training consisted of the guided-missile frigates Liuzhou (Hull 573), Suqian (Hull 504) and Jingmen (Hull 506), and the comprehensive supply ship Weishanhu (Hull 887). They coordinated and carried out more than 20 combat-oriented training subjects including the ship-borne weapon system operations, joint defense and replenishment-at-sea.
本次远海训练着重进行了对海射击、搜潜反导等课题的演练。据编队指挥员介绍，在远海大洋实际使用武器进行训练，不仅检验了编队在连续航行状态下武器装备性能，也锤炼了官兵组织指挥和协同配合能力。
Among others, the live-fire shooting at sea, submarine-searching and anti-missile operations have been highlighted. According to the flotilla commander, the actual use of weapon systems in the ocean can not only test the performance of weapons and equipment onboard in continuous navigation but also improve the troops’ abilities of commanding and coordination.
据了解，此次远海训练是年度训练计划的例行安排，是推进转型建设，聚焦备战打仗练兵的具体举措。
It’s learnt that this open-sea training is a routine arrangement of the PLA Navy's annual training plan and also a specific measure to promote the PLA Navy’s transformation and strengthen its combat readiness.
此次远海训练期间，柳州舰、宿迁舰与印尼海军在雅加达附近海域举行了海上联演。
As a part of the open-sea training, the Chinese warships Liuzhou and Suqian also held a joint maritime drill with the Indonesian Navy near the waters of Jakarta.
