The Allied destroyer originally from Red Alert 2 was transformed into a Rabbit family naval ship with roots in Zhengmiaohong. After handing the relevant information to the Navy, they responded directly at an astonishing speed: It¡¯s her! They even named her Type 052, replacing the two destroyers carrying Hongqi-7 and American-made LM2500 gas turbines that Qi Yiming remembered. As a result, under Qi Yiming's intervention, the ship was given a name that it did not have originally, Type 052A.
After the completion of the two shipyards, Qi Yiming and Aplysia gained a ship manufacturing capacity of 40,000 tons per month (calculating standard displacement). Aplysia, like Air Force Rabbit, has a full six-month construction period. The first month's production capacity was allocated to 2 054A frigates, 2 052A destroyers, 3 039A submarines and 1 Type 056 corvette.
The reason why the Chinese navy¡¯s warships in later generations will basically have battleships A is because of the small steps. For example, only two of the 054A's predecessors, the 054, were built, and they still used traditional old weapons such as the Hongqi-7. Its main function was to verify the new large frigate hull and some internal electronic equipment and systems. After confirming that there were no problems, 32 thermal vertical launch systems were replaced on the 054A, and other anti-submarine and radar equipment were also added.
The 039A has a similar origin. After absorbing a large amount of advanced technology from Europe such as Germany and France, China designed and completed the Type 039 submarine, which is also called the Song class by NATO. This type has flaws in the control tower design and poor fluid performance. Only one was built. The obvious feature is the whale-shaped hull and the stepped command platform. Subsequently, the new type 039 modified the command podium into a traditional shape, and added a deflector fin at the back to improve underwater stability. Later, a revolutionary change began to occur from 039A, that is, the use of an airless propulsion system (AIP), which greatly improved the combat performance. The appearance is recognized by the command platform becoming more rounded and the hull drop-shaped.
In fact, the 039A is not the most advanced AIP submarine that Qi Yiming can build at the moment. Her subsequent models B and C have improved performance, such as using a pressure-resistant shell (single shell) and improving internal electronic equipment. Performance, cross rudder changes to X-type rudder, etc. It's just because Qi Yiming feels that the 039A is useful enough for the current navy, and is only better than the Kilo-class that has been the main force of Aplysia for a long time. In addition, the version produced by the shipyard has better quietness, so this cheaper submarine was chosen.
When the eight ships slowly sailed out of the dock, Qi Yiming also invited some senior generals of the navy to receive the ships as usual.
Liu Huaqing stood by the harbor and looked at several graceful ships with white and gray navy livery, showing the navy's unique quietness brewing a powerful temperament, and couldn't help but feel relieved. He took Qi Yiming's hand and said gratefully: "Comrade Xiao Qi, these, these are the future of our navy!"
Qi Yiming could feel his excitement and said with a smile: "This future is very near."
Liu Huaqing nodded heavily, his deep eyes seeming to see the Chinese dragon galloping on the ocean in the near future.
Qi Yiming added: "I have not filled all the sailors and officers on these ships, but they are basically important officers and technical non-commissioned officers, who can very well help our naval brothers master these new warships. "
"Well, this is the best. We have got new things, and it will take a while to master them. Haha, our navy does not seek to master them quickly. We must lay a solid foundation and understand how to use each piece of equipment, and then Then study the tactics, and only by thoroughly mastering them can you form new combat power!" Liu Huaqing explained to several naval officers around him.
Qi Yiming saw the eyes of the colonels in the second row of the team shining brightly, and he guessed in his mind that these people should be the captains of the new warships decided within the navy. There is no doubt that those who can enter this position must have a good business and a promising future. It is also a huge honor to be the first batch of new ships.
Liu Huaqing, Qi Yiming and others climbed up the gangway and boarded the 112 Harbin ship, the first ship of this batch of ships and the flagship of the North Sea Fleet in the future. Although the tonnage of the 112 ships in this dimension jumped directly from 4800 tons to 6800 tons, the original ship names and hull numbers were retained.
A deputy chief of staff of the Navy touched the main gun barrel on the 112th ship and sighed: "Such a large-caliber artillery. Our PLA Navy has never had such a large gun."
"Well, our navy doesn't have it. The cruiser Chongqing that was sent from KMT back then had a six-inch main gun, which is 152mm, which is not as big as the 155mm on this ship. It is probably comparable to the second ship of Dingzhen in the Qing Dynasty. The 240mm main gun is bigger than this. Haha, with the current development of the navy, such a large-caliber main gun is of little use." Another staff officer was obviously better at remembering history and talked eloquently.
The newly appointed captain of the Harbin warship Guo DeZhu Ze smiled and said: "The main gun is no longer the main combat capability. I read the information about this ship for several days and I was very happy. 16 anti-ship missiles with a range of 400 kilometers. This kind of The anti-ship capability is probably the strongest in the world, and the ship also has 50 anti-aircraft missiles with a range of 120 kilometers. It can weave a dense air defense network on our sea side to prevent enemy aircraft from attacking our land. In addition, the anti-submarine equipment on this ship is also quite complete, and it is even said to be the strongest among all parts. In the future, if the submarines of the United States and those small minions want to touch our port again, we will let them eat it. Big loss!¡±
What Guo Dezhu said is absolutely true. In the 1980s and 1990s, the favorite thing for American submarines to do was to explore China's offshore areas and spy on all kinds of intelligence. Later, because their submarines were too big, such a task was difficult. Once that's done, call your allies to do this. In 1992, an Australian submarine was entangled in the propeller of a fishing net outside Shanghai Harbor and was almost unable to escape. Similar things happened repeatedly. It was not until the number of various aquatic product breeding nets in China's offshore waters increased, the danger increased, and China's detection capabilities increased that this crazy spying activity stopped.
A group of officers also happily visited the most powerful warship in the Chinese Navy for some time, and listened to the red alert sailors on the ship describing every aspect, and bursts of admiration followed the explanation.
Qi Yiming walked in front and said to Liu Huaqing: "Commander Liu, I have equipped the No. 2 ship Qingdao of 052A, the No. 2 ship Yantai of 054A and the No. 2 ship of 039A with full sailors and officers, which can be regarded as maintaining the navy. I have announced that the command will be transferred directly to the North Sea Fleet Headquarters. In the next two months, we will use the same model to transfer a fully combat-capable destroyer to the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. Frigate and submarine formations.¡±
When Qi Yiming came into everyone's sight, there was still a lot of doubt and distrust, especially concerns and fears about his ability to control the army. However, as time went on, not many people were worried, especially Mr. Ping. When a group of senior officials entrusted him with important responsibilities and showed their trust, the people below did not dare to raise any opinions. Liu Huaqing himself is big-hearted, and he doesn't think Qi Yiming will cause any trouble, so he still trusts him.
"This is the best. We can maintain defense with a certain strength and can deal with any emergencies." Liu Huaqing nodded in agreement.
The six-month production plan allocated by the Navy includes: 6 Type 052A destroyers, 12 Type 054A frigates, 20 Type 039A submarines, 30 Type 056 light frigates, 2 Type 071 dock landing ships, and 10 Type 081 mine sweepers , 1 Dongdiao-class spy ship, and 1 Shichang-class national defense mobilization ship.
Such ship configuration is basically that of a medium-sized European naval power, which is no worse than Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, etc. Qi Yiming originally suggested that the Navy mainly purchase combat ships in the past six months, but it seems that the Navy believes that more balanced development is more necessary. Moreover, the days of relying on more than a dozen old destroyers and frigates are over, and the Navy is afraid that after suddenly becoming richer, it will have no money to maintain, and it will suffer if good ships are wasted.
Therefore, as the main force of the navy, they have only ordered 6 and 12 052A and 054A. Each fleet is assigned 2 destroyers and 4 frigates. In this area, as long as they do not encounter Americans, they are basically capable. Against a pair. Even the relatively strong Hai Zi, at this time, only has enough quantity but not enough quality, mainly small frigates of two to three thousand tons.
As for the main maritime opponent, 4V, which "annihilates tens of thousands of enemies and transfers victory to Taiwan", basically has small destroyers from the World War II era that have been modernized and upgraded. The real modernization of Formosa's navy was completed after they continued to purchase French Lafayette-class frigates and the Success-class (a replica of the Perry-class) built in cooperation with the United States.
Judging from the level of 052A and 054A, it is extremely difficult for the Formosa Navy in 2015 to fight against it. The YJ-62 long-range anti-ship missile used by 052A alone is enough to defeat the soldiers. What a big loss.
Liu Huaqing floated one hand on the side of the ship and the other behind his back. Looking at the calm sea outside, he couldn't help but sigh: "The ship is an excellent ship, but our navy doesn't have much military spending, and I heard that your base needs After taking over a large part of the logistics supplies, Chairman Ping is determined to stop the ridiculous business of the army. By then, our money will be even tighter. Our navy also wants to acquire a few more such good ships, but it is really difficult to maintain them. I'm sorry. In order to receive your batch of ships, our navy has specially stopped the use of some missile boats and torpedo boats, and they are all stored there. We really can't put any more burden on ourselves. "
When Qi Yiming heard his complaint, he was moved in his heart and said: "The navy might as well withdraw more ships. Anyway, there are new ships. Everyone will take turns to work as an intern and wait until it's their turn."Get a new ship. From an efficiency point of view, maintaining equipment with high combat effectiveness and low combat effectiveness at the same time is a thankless task. It is better to dismantle it all together. Well, if you can't sell the useless ships, you can send them to me. Haha, I have some good solutions. "
