Chinese warships sailing secrets of life: each meal 6 dishes and 1 soup 1 weeks enraptured | sea foods _ news

Combat readiness training, trips abroad, protect fisheries escort ... ... As the Navy moves toward "deep blue", Ocean travel is no longer a novelty. On the long sea life, security officers and men eat is fundamental to maintain combat effectiveness, but nothing, if you want to eat well and you must ensure that sufficient quantities of ingredients and fresh, how fresh is especially difficult to store vegetables navies has been troubled.

After many years of research, the ROC Navy voyage on food in variety, taste and storage time, have been greatly enriched and developed. Today, ships eat fresh dried pork, stir-fried cabbage, is no longer a dream.

Ocean food

From canned foods to "frozen food"

According to the Liberation Army daily reported recently, a ship through collaborative research has developed more than 120 kinds of suitable naval officers and men to eat normal food, frozen food, fresh frozen collective collective collective new semi-finished food products such as food, by simple heating and cooking these foods you can eat.

In fact, the ROC Navy voyage food are not new products developed in recent years, as early as 1960, developed by the Naval Medical research unit of the Navy's first generation of submarines sailing foods already equipped troops. Submarine voyage food exclusively conventional submarine voyage of food at that time, content to let only Submariner "eat".

From 1962 to 1995, the submarine voyage food has been reviewed 5 times improved, can resolve the Submariner "eating good" problem, realized by the simple supply of canned food, combined with the fresh foods supply of canned food changes. In the late 1970 of the 20th century, specifically for surface ships are sailing the food started to develop. Prior to this, surface ships at sea eating fresh food is combined with a small amount of canned food has been used way to organizational security. After a series of exploratory trials, in 1988, the surface ships are sailing food production.

It was reported that in 1997, when the Chinese Navy warship formation visited Latin American countries, changed his usual vegetables reserves can only last for about 10 days, a variety of fresh vegetables, fresh food supplies over 1.5 months, which caught the attention of shipping communities at home and abroad. The so-called "fresh food", that after cleaning, blanching and freezing technology, such as "frozen food", color, moisture and nutrients and fresh vegetables were similar, can be stored for a long time, the trip makes "frozen food" onto the ship in large quantities from the production workshop for the first time, and has caused widespread concern in the nautical sector at home and abroad.

Naval military academic research Institute researcher, Zhang said before in these new technologies, ships without a shore supply, vegetables fresh the longest half a month, can not be eaten leafy vegetables after half a month, and started eating potatoes, carrots and other relatively easy to store food. But a month later, potatoes, turnips and no, you eat only compressed bottled foods. These foods not only taste bad, and nutritional decline over time soldiers on because of vitamin deficiencies foaming at the mouth, the ships are sailing, this is very negative.

Shipboard culinary

Cooking mix baking instead of frying Cook

Potatoes beef, dried meat, lettuce, sauteed cabbage with garlic ... ... This is the 12th 2009 Navy convoy in the Gulf of Aden the officers and men of the recipe. According to the accompanying menu of the East Sea fleet logistics assistants return guaranteed every six dishes and one soup, enraptured in one week, proportion of fresh vegetables increased substantially was the escort on the logistics of a major feature.

According to PLA reported, first Executive Aden Bay escort task of East fleet face ships sailed time long, on vegetable preservation requirements high of problem, exploration out fruits and vegetables class food cryogenic Xia processing, and refrigerated transport supply new method, and developed out classification storage, and points warehouse preservation, and regularly moved library of preservation method, effective solution has voyage en route vegetable easy rot, and nutrition loss big of problem. In addition, industry experts pass on soil-less cultivation technique of fast to naval officers and soldiers to ensure soldiers in the convoy during the growth cycle of eating vegetable of short and long preservation time.

You can grow your own, can also study "juvenile fantasy drifting", local materials, sailing on the ocean fishing to improve lives? In this regard, Zhang said this and perform tasks and area of about, but is generally not allowed during implementation, the officers and men to carry out such activities.

Actually technically resolve the pelagic food preservation questions only "feed" one aspect, in how to cook on the ship is a skilled task. It is understood that in order to resist the effects of cooking, Cook only one hand to hold the handrail, stir-Cook, but encountered bad sea conditions, oil will spatter out of the Pan, is very dangerous.

According to understanding, now in some modernization of Navy ships kitchen, cooking with of big pot are was some diameter about 1 meters of vertical cylinder replaced, this cylinder called slow hot type steamer, by design main is cooking processing Western of, but in ships Shang relies on this steamer can do more than 150 more species West dishes and pastry, fried fried cooking fried of dish less has, cooking mix roast of dish more has, sea training encountered big waves, on can using steamer making simple delicious of Western.

Garbage disposal

Submarine-throwing food junk and easy to BREW disaster

Although the 1997 Chinese naval fleet to visit Latin America, food security are maritime territories to the Chinese Navy has a new understanding, but when the vessel arrives in United States ports after San Diego, local environmental protection laws require foreign ships cannot visit sewage in Hong Kong, otherwise they will be deported. In order to prevent cooking oil drops into the sea, ships docked in San Diego during the ceasefire does not cook. For four or five days, sailors can only eat instant noodles and canned food.

Later in order to solve this problem, developed a new sailing foods, at present, the Chinese Navy surface ships are sailing food divided into Staples, meat dishes, Vegetarian, vegetables, fruits, drink sugar and other six major categories, hundreds of varieties. But the ship's kitchen waste problem still needs to be addressed.

The past, naval forces during the sea, with garbage piling up in the kitchen after the meal, return to the naval port for handling. Processing kitchen waste now has the specialized equipment-ship dining kitchen garbage disposal. According to reports, this device is slightly wider than the upright, can be placed anywhere in the kitchen. After the kitchen waste in it, grind, dewatering and drying, sewage is drained into the bilge tank, dry goods, microwave drying, sterilization, become colorless and odorless powder that does not require special handling can be stored for 3 months. With 30 kg of kitchen waste, for example, after the device, finally leaving only 2.5 kg dry powder, and meet the needs of ships sailing and meet environmental requirements for trip to another country.

Abroad, the Navy also attached great importance to the ships garbage disposal. It is understood that in order to deal with rubbish on the ship, United States Navy ships has been developed using compactors and solid plastic crusher, plastic waste dumped into the sea to reduce the 70%. And was sent back to shore of waste plastics, and a considerable part of which is processed into park benches, picnic tables, etc.

For submarines, and more carefully preserved the garbage. Leftovers such as "wet garbage" by mill a mash, deposited into a specially designed tanks, and wait until conditions are right to discharge into the sea. But when the enemy complex, only temporarily stored inside the boat is really fit, then in plastic bags and wrap up the garbage and put it in the fridge with food frozen. Do this because the enemy complex waters, bad garbage disposal, discards will be exposed when the submarine sights and spell disaster for all.
