160 the truth of the ship explosion?

The China Navy 160 destroyer exploded and sank in Zhanjiang Port in early April, which was the most serious accident since the establishment of the Navy. 160 was the first ship of the 05 1 guided missile destroyer developed by China in the South China Sea. It was launched in April of 197 1 and put into use in June of 1974.

After nearly half a year's investigation by the three-level joint investigation team of the General Staff, Navy and Fleet, the truth of the explosion and sinking of the "160" finally came out: the crew of the ship Three Lai Yang was the rank. Before his promotion, he found an object in his hometown. Immediately after his promotion, he said that he would break up with the rural girl, who committed suicide. Soon, the political department of the detachment made a decision to revoke Lai's post as a cadre and demobilize as a soldier. Lai struggled to plead with his superiors. At that time, the internal management of the South China Sea Fleet was particularly lax. After Lai was dismissed as a cadre, the destroyer did not immediately take necessary measures against him. Lai Changxing is still in charge of underwater weapons such as mines and depth charges, and independently holds the key to the arsenal. After the penalty was issued, Lai cried in the armory all day, trying to die, but an evil idea appeared in his mind ... Lai found a small drill and drilled a small hole on the bottom deck of the stern deep-water bomb warehouse to let the seawater slowly penetrate ... At 7 o'clock the next night, the seawater overflowed the deep-water bomb warehouse, and a deep-water bomb exploded under the strong pressure of seawater. Fortunately, the ship did not go to sea until the next morning, and the missile was not loaded on board when it exploded. In fact, the missile was ready to hang at 12 pm, and the destroyer exploded at 7 o'clock. If the missile is loaded in advance, the consequences will be unimaginable!

160 the explosion of the ship killed 94 people and injured countless others. The direct economic loss 1 1 billion yuan has caused extremely bad influence in the world. The navy party Committee made an inspection to the Central Committee, and the South China Sea Fleet made an inspection to the navy. A deputy commander was ordered to retire early, and several leaders of the second destroyer detachment were dismissed. The captain and political commissar of the 160 ship were arrested because they were not at work when the 160 accident occurred, but returned to their respective homes in Zhanjiang City.

A year later, the wreckage of 160 was towed to the 4804 factory for dismantling, and all the weapon systems on board were dismantled. All kinds of cables, steel plates and machines are piled up 100 meters.
