初体验：泰国皇家海军战舰

泰国皇家海军战舰

自从看了《超级战舰》电影后，就一直希望着有朝一日我能踏上战舰，亲身体验下在战舰里的感觉。没想到，我这小小的心愿那么快就实现了。二月七日至十二日期间，泰国皇家海军队将在槟城Swettenham码头执行军校实习。海军在二月十日那天开放战舰让公众参观。

当天，我睡迟了，醒来的时候已经十一点半了。我担心错过了参观时间，所以就连忙打开面书确认一下。确实，我错过了早上的参观时间，不过幸好下午海军将会再次开放让公众参观。早上的参观时间是十点至十二点，而下午的是一点至三点，每次海军都只开放两小时。知道了下午的参观时间后，我赶紧刷牙洗脸，换上便服然后马上到巴士站等巴士。我抵达码头的时候尚早，还有十五分钟才一点。那里的守卫叫我到一旁等着，这时也有一群人已经在那里等候了。到了一点正（他们还真的是很准时咯！），守卫才肯放我们进入参观。

Since watching the 'Battleship' movie, I have always hope that one day I can step my foot on a battleship. Yet, I have never thought that my little dream would come true so fast. On 7th to 12th February, the Royal Thai's Navy is going to have their cadet training in Penang's Swettenham Pier. On 10th February, the battleship is opened for public to visit.

On that day, I was overslept. When I woke up it was already 11.30am. I was worried that I might have missed the visiting time so I opened Facebook to double check the time. Yup, I have missed the morning visiting time but luckily there was another visiting time in the afternoon which is 1pm to 3pm. Knowing the time, I quickly brushed my teeth, washed my face, change my cloth and then head down to wait for the bus. When I reached Swettenham Pier, it was 15 minutes earlier. The guard asked me to wait at the entrance together with other visitors. Sharp at 1pm, the guard let us in and I was really excited at that moment!

兴奋的我，脚步放得很快，不知不觉就成了第一个踏入码头的人了。。哈哈。。原本以为可以马上踏上战舰的，不过海军们要先开个小小的会议，所以我们暂时先不能上战舰了。

The excited me walked very fast and in no time, I reached the entrance gate of the pier. I have to write down my name, IC no. and my time going in on a book. When I entered the pier, I still cant step my foot on the battleship yet as the navy were having a little meeting at that time.

无法立刻登上战舰，我只好在码头里走走，拍拍照。这两艘战舰是停泊在码头左边的。

Unable to board on the battleship directly, I walked around at the pier and shoot some photos of the battleships. These two are the battleships on the left.

这是右边的战舰。

This is the right hand side battleship.

这次前来槟城的战舰一共有三艘，分别是：

There are three battleship altogether, they are :

HTMS Kraburi 457

HTMS Saiburi 458

HTMS Narathiwat 512

过了差不多十分钟，终于能登上战舰了。第一脚踏在战舰时的感觉是，原来战舰的地面对于一双已没有花纹的拖鞋是蛮滑一下的。

After waited for about 10 minutes, finally I get to step on the battleship. The first thought came across my mind when I was taking my first step on the battleship was the battleship's floor was actually quite slippery.

一开始时我跟着大队走。在海军的引导下，我们来到了HTMS Narathiwat 512战舰。

At first, I was following the lead of the navy and they bring us to HTMS Narathiwat 512.

过后海军就带我们到战舰里面参观。这里是他们的厨房。

Then the navy lead us entering the battleship. This is their kitchen.

这里是他们洗衣服的地方。

This is their place to do their laundry.

在战舰里的通道还蛮狭窄的，最多也只能两个人同时走。我在想如果发生紧急状况的话场面岂不是会变得很混乱咯？不过我相信他们是专业的，发生紧急状况的时候也必定能有次序地应付。

The walkway inside the battleship is quite narrow. At most two people can walk side by side at a time. I was thinking that if an emergency is to happened, then it must be a chaotic scene in the walkway. However, I believe that the navies are all professionals, so they sure can handle any situation with calm.

在战舰里的阶梯非常的斜，上下时都必须很小心才行。

The ladder in the battleship is pretty tilt, so extra careful is pretty much needed.

这是导航室。一直以来，印象中的这一幕都只是出现在荧幕上。但今天却真真实实的出现在我面前，而且只要伸手就能触碰到，真的很兴奋咯。。嘻嘻。。

This is the navigation room. I have always seen this scene on the screen but today it was real in front of my eyes and I can really touched it. What a great experience it was.

但是我却不认识这里的每一粒按钮。=P

Yet I have no idea what were these buttons for.

这个就是机关枪吧？每次在戏里看那些海军们用机关枪射下敌人时，那一刻真的是帅呆了。。哈哈。。

I guess this is the machine gun. I have always love the scene in the movie where the navy shoot down the enemy with this machine gun. It is just so cool!

如果能让我尽情地射一次的话。。。

How nice it is if I were able to shoot with this machine gun.

这个我就不知是什么了，有人知道它的用途吗？

I am not sure what is this thing, anyone knows?

与机关枪相比，这武器的威力似乎比较强大，射程也比较远，不过射击相隔的时间却比较长（自己不专业分析的，说错了还请原谅啊）。

Compare to the machine gun, this weapon seems to be more powerful and the shooting range is larger. Only that the time taken to reload it's bullet is longer.

我问了海军这些是什么？他们告诉我这是反导弹用的。我和他们有点语言上的不协调，然后他们就用手比给我看了。第一只手他告诉我那是导弹，然后导弹正往战舰方向飞来。第二只手他告诉我那是反导弹然后发射前往导弹的方向。过后导弹就跟着反导弹一起飞走了。看完他的解说后，我懂他的意思了。。哈哈。。

I asked the navies at there what are these things? They told me it is the anti-missile. We were having trouble communicating with each other so he started using the body language. He showed me his right hand and told me that it is the missile and the missile is heading towards the battleship. Then he showed me his left hand and told me that is the anti-missile and he shot the anti-missile towards the missile. The missile then changes it course of direction following the direction of the anti-missile. Well, I kinda get what he was trying to say..haha..

这个在战舰中间的设备是用来控制两旁四支枪的射击的。战舰中间有两台这样的设备。左边的控制战舰左边的两支枪，右边的就控制战舰右边的两支枪。上面那个长形的是用来瞄准敌人的。

This device is located at the middle part of the battleship and is used to control the four guns at both side. There are two devices at the middle part of the battleship. The left one control the two guns on the left and the right one control the two guns on the right.

这个设备也是在战舰中间的，这我就不晓得是什么了。猜想应该是类似探测器之类的吧。

This device is also located at the middle part of the battleship. I have no idea what this device is. I am guessing that it should be some kind of tracking device.

在战舰表面的阶梯几乎都是九十度的。

Almost all the ladder on the battleship's surface are of 90 degree.

现在是时候来看一看大炮了。这个大炮是在战舰前方正中央的，应该是其中一个主炮。

Now it is time for some 'big' weapons. This cannon is located at the middle of the front part, I think it is one of the main cannon.

近距离看大炮，很威吧？

It was really awesome to look at the cannon at a close distance.

这个是在战舰旁边的37mm机关枪。感觉有点像瓢虫。。哈哈。。

This is the twin-barrel 37mm naval gun. Does it looks like a ladybird?

这个可就厉害了，是导弹哦！有机会的话真想亲眼目睹发射导弹的壮观场面啊！

This is the surface to surface missile. I would really like to see the grand moment of firing this missile.

这个是在战舰中间的高塔，应该是用来接收讯息的。看见高塔有个梯子所以我就爬上去了。

This is the tower at the middle of the battleship, I guess it is for the communication purpose. I saw a ladder in the tower and so I climbed it.

从高塔的最高处拍下来的景色。

最后，在战舰的尾部是个让直升机降落的大空地。

Lastly, at the back of the battleship is the big space for landing the helicopter.

在战舰里足足待上了两个小时，尝试了很多新事物，体验到了不一样的感觉。亲手握机关枪，爬上战舰最高处，还有和泰国海军交流，这三个体验是最为可贵的。

就这样，依依不舍的离开了战舰，离开了Swettenham码头，离开了我很多的第一次。

I stayed on the battleship for fully two hours. I have tried many new things and experience something different. Holding the machine gun, climbing to the highest part of the battleship, and communicating with the Thai's navy.

I reluctantly left the battleship and left Swettenham Pier. It was such a nice moment, thank you Royal Thai's Navy!
