On March 31, missile warship 011 - Dinh Tien Hoang returned to Cam Ranh after attending the LIMA-2017 Exhibition in Malaysia.
 |
| This is the first time the Vietnam Navy has directly sent a combat ship to an international exhibition. Although it is the first time participating in an international military event, Vietnam's warship 011 is in a rather solemn position in the exercise formation. |
 |
| To do this requires absolute precision and coordination between ships because collisions at sea at short range can easily occur and can disrupt the formation. |
 |
| Once the arrow formation was in place, helicopters were launched from the command ship to take photographs of the formation while the arrow formation continued to move at 10 knots. |
 |
| It is known that the group of combat officers on ship 011 only knew about the content of the exercise three days in advance. |
 |
| The group must meet with the Organizing Committee and officers of the participating ships to agree on the content and then disseminate it to the ship crew for implementation. |
 |
| After the arrow formation, the ships broke formation, divided into two groups to maneuver to a new position, ready for the maritime security exercise. At this new position, each group would form the Mahsuri Fan Formation. |
 |
| Then, the PRU ship from the outside rushes to the center of the formation, the ships will maneuver to establish the Matsirat Fan Formation. |
 |
| During the maritime security exercise, ship 011 acted as a lookout and ensured security in the formation while some other ships sent boats to inspect suspicious ships according to the scenario. At the end of the maritime security exercise, the ships maneuvered in a line along the designated position to salute each other, ending the exercise. |
 |
| This is also a difficult requirement, requiring ships to maintain the correct formation as well as speed and distance to ensure safety and a beautiful formation. The last ship will then pass the starboard side of the preceding ship to salute and the ships will do the same in a rolling manner. (In the photo: The comfortable control room of ship 011). |
