Why do the soldiers on the aircraft carrier patrol with guns? What are they guarding against?

As we all know, the aircraft carrier is the largest military ship in the world, with strong combat effectiveness and deterrence. At the same time, the aircraft carrier also represents the highest level of a country's shipbuilding industry. Few countries in the world can build aircraft carriers alone. After decades of development, China has been able to build an aircraft carrier by itself. Although there is only one aircraft carrier in service in China at present, the domestic aircraft carrier has been built in the dock against time. Sooner or later, we in China will be able to enter the dual carrier or even. Some friends have also raised questions about this. The aircraft carrier is so safe, why do soldiers patrol with guns? Isn't this unnecessary? What are they guarding against? After reading it, I finally understood. Let's take a look together.

In fact, navies all over the world will equip soldiers with guns, which is necessary, because even if the aircraft carrier is safe, as a soldier, you must equip yourself with guns and know how to use them. If you don't even have a gun, what can you talk about military literacy? Even the aircraft carrier with the best public security environment will give guns to patrolling soldiers. Take China's navy as an example. Most of the guns in the hands of soldiers are Type 95 assault rifles and Type 95 short assault rifles. When warships enter the second-level combat deployment, soldiers will stand guard with guns. So what are they guarding against? What is the meaning of naval gun?

I. Anti-piracy

Under normal circumstances, no pirates dare to hijack aircraft carriers, even if they don't get close, they have been eliminated, but nothing is absolute. If a small group of pirates or special forces infiltrate under the aircraft carrier, all kinds of weapons on the aircraft carrier are attacking the dead corner and can't hit the enemy at all. Wouldn't it be a joke if the navy didn't even have a gun? Do you want to fight others with your bare hands? Therefore, it is necessary for the navy to equip with light weapons, which can be used to prevent accidents. Frigates and destroyers need light weapons more than aircraft carriers. Take the Somali waters as an example. Pirates are rampant here. Under normal circumstances, pirates dare not hijack warships, so they choose merchant ships to bully them. When warships find pirates, they generally don't fire at the first time, but they will warn them. The warning methods are usually shouting and soldiers shooting. If it doesn't work, they will order fire.

Second, internal law enforcement.

Navy ships must be equipped with guns, just as warships must be equipped with weapons. Usually, soldiers will patrol with guns for training. In addition, firearms can also be enforced internally. Once an internal rebellion is discovered, it can be solved with a gun. It is not always possible to find a rebellion, but not to carry it out. Therefore, it is necessary for soldiers to carry guns during internal law enforcement.

Finally, the headmaster believes that guns are the second life of soldiers and the navy is the main force of the country. In fact, they usually carry guns not only when patrolling, but also when warships dock at ports for replenishment, rectification and rest, and combat deployment. In addition, guns must also be held in naval diplomatic etiquette, and guns are an important prop of naval diplomacy. To sum up: whether it is an aircraft carrier or other ships, soldiers must be equipped with guns. Friends, what do you think is the meaning of naval gun?
