Why did our army send the most advanced guided missile destroyer to the Gulf of Aden to escort? Not afraid that the missile parameters on our destroyer ship will be leaked?

Mainly due to two considerations, first, the old guided missile destroyer has small full-load displacement and poor seaworthiness, which is not suitable for long-term ocean navigation. At the same time, the old destroyers should not be the main force of our navy because of their long service time. For the rare opportunity of ocean escort in peacetime, we should give it a new advanced destroyer, which not only accumulates practical experience, but also shows the national prestige to the world. Secondly, the new destroyer needs a lot of tests after service, and accumulates test data for subsequent improvement and even new warships.

As for the leakage of missile parameters, we can rest assured that our army does not need missiles to deal with Somali pirates. Usually, radar signals and communication channels are easily captured by foreign warships when radar starts searching. However, the generals of the Central Military Commission will not be unaware of these problems that even we can think of, and will take certain security measures, such as changing communication channels after the mission, or simply using international common channels directly.
