During the 1982 Falklands War, the Royal Navy was able to draft and convert a large number of merchant ships for military support roles within a short period of time. Highly impressed by such a capability, the PLA Navy began to study the military use of civilian vessels, in particular container ships, in the mid-1980s. As a result of this study, a container ship Huayuankou was converted into an aviation training ship, with its aft deck becoming a helicopter flight deck.

在1982年英阿马岛战争中，英国海军能够在短时间内为军事支援角色征用和改装很多的商船。PLA海军对此印象深刻，在1980年中期，开始研究民用船只的军事使用，特别是集装箱船。这一项研究的结果，将一艘集装箱船“花园口”号改装成航空训练舰，并且它的尾甲板改装成一个直升飞机飞行甲板。

In the early 1990s, the PLA Navy began to build a dedicated training ship to replace Huayuankou. The new training ship, known as “National Defence Mobilisation Ship” by the PLA Navy, was commissioned on 28 December 1996. The ship carries a pennant number 82 and was named after the patriotic navy general of Qing Dynasty’s Beiyang Navy, Deng Shichang (1855~1894). The ship has been in service with the PLA Navy’s Dalian Ship College as a training ship since then.

在1990年早期，PLA海军开始建造一艘专用训练舰代替“花园口”号。新的训练舰，即PLA海军的“国防动员舰”，在1996年12月28日服役。弦号82号和以清朝北洋爱国海军将领邓世昌（1855~1894）的名字来命名。已经在PLA海军大连舰艇学院服役此后当作一艘训练舰。

Shichang resembles a scaled-down version of the Royal Navy’s Argus aviation training ship. The ship’s superstructure is located forward, with a long flight deck aft. The ship has a small secondary superstructure approximately 2/3 of the way down the flight deck, containing the ship’s exhaust funnel. The flight deck has two landing spots for small-size utility helicopter such as Harbin Z-9 to operate simultaneously.

“世昌”号类似英国海军“百眼巨人”航空训练舰的一个减缩版本。舰的上部构造位于前部，同时一个长飞行甲板在船尾。舰上有第二个上部构造大约在飞行甲板通道右侧2/3处，船上的排气烟囱在其上。飞行甲板有两个降落点用于小型通用直升飞机，例如哈尔滨Z-9型同时操作。

With a full displacement of 9,105t displacement and a speed of 17 knots, Shichang provides a training platform for large ship handling and flight deck operations. The ship is capable of carrying 300 standard-size containers, or supporting 200 cadets and 40 teachers for a maximum period of 30 days in the sea. By adding different container-size functional modules to the ship, Shichang could be easily configured for a range of roles, including aviation training, casualty receiving, maritime replenishment, long-range sea training, and reservist mobilisation.

“世昌”号具有满载排水量9,105吨和17节航速，提供一个训练平台用于大型舰船操作和飞行甲板操作。船能够携带300吨标准大小集装箱，或支持200名海军院校学员和40名教员在海上最多30天的课时。增加不同的集装箱-大小功能模块到舰上，“世昌”号能容易地为多种角色配置，包括航空训练、伤亡接受船、海上补给、远距离海上训练和后备军人动员。

In peacetime, Shichang is mainly used for the training of both PLA Navy and merchant ship crews. In time of crisis, its operation could be copied by the large number of container ships in China’s cargo fleet. If necessary, the ship could be configured into a hospital ship, a light helicopter carrier, or a transport ship. Additionally, the ship could also be deployed for maritime replenishment, search & rescue, scientific research, or disaster relief missions.

在和平时期，“世昌”号主要用于PLA海军和商船组员的训练。在危机时期，它的操作能被中国商船队的大量集装箱船复制。如果必需，船能被配置成一艘医院船，一艘轻直升飞机母舰或一艘运输船。额外地，船也可能被部署用于海上再补给、搜索和援救、科研或赈灾任务。

1、《世昌号--中国第一艘国防动员船剖析》

1996年12月28日，随着一声汽笛长鸣，一艘长120多米、宽18米、高近40米的万吨巨轮，缓缓驶离了上海黄埔江码头。这时，船上船下一片欢呼，设计师、建造师、军代表和接船部队官兵相互握手拥抱，祝贺我国第一艘万吨级国防动员船“世昌”号正式交付使用。

这艘动员船是国务院批准，由国家计委和海军共同出资建造的。它拥有航海训练、直升机训练、医疗训练、国防动员演练以及运载300个标准集装箱等多种功能。通过加装各种集装箱模块，能迅速地把一艘民用运输船转换成各类战时使用的军用辅助器。

时至“八五”期间，海军装备部建造国防动员船的计划再次得到了国家计委、总参和国防科工委的批准和支持。该船的设计任务由中船总公司708所承担。总设计师、中国工程院院士张炳炎教授如是地介绍了该船的有关性能和用途。该船设有两层纵通甲板，可在薄冰区航行，航速17。5节，续航能力达8，000海里。舱室分布合理，有航行所、航海实行所、医疗所、病房、公共活动场所、炊事所、设备所、居住室等。船上的生活设备几器具齐全，具有“宾馆化”的水平。

该船由上海求新造船厂承担建造任务。该厂曾为海军建造过具有世界先进水平的 “郑和”号航海训练舰。“世昌”号国防动员船现归建于海军大连舰艇学院。它将与“郑和”号航海训练舰结成姐妹舰，承担海军学员航海实习训练、医疗、航空训练、预备役人员训练、军用民用物资运输、国防夏令营和友好出访等使命。
