Han Yu was indeed very busy, working with Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen, Master Zhou, and Liang Xiaoyu to maintain and repair ship 001.
Since its refit and upgrade, 001 had been deployed for rescue, escort, emergency disaster response, combating water bandits, assisting Port Supervision and Customs enforcement, among other missions.
Such high-load operation was a major test for both the equipment and the mechanical engineers. Routine maintenance was not enough to ensure the normal operation of the machinery; it had to be docked, requiring a complete check and repair of the hull and all major equipment and systems on the ship.
