Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The navy has experienced a great harvest since last year. The six-month naval shipbuilding plan in 1985 has been completed. The navy has directly jumped from the fleet equipment strength of a backward country to the level of the navy of a middle power. It has one main warship, one amphibious assault ship, and 8  3 large destroyers, 16 large frigates, 50 light frigates, 30 AIP submarines and 2 dock landing ships.  In order to have enough personnel to operate so many warships, the Navy decommissioned all 051 and 053 class destroyers and frigates. Except for another part that was kept as a memorial, they were all handed over to the crushing crane at the Huludao base.  "Trade old for new".

    Within half a year, some of the navy's small gunboats and missile boats were given to the army for use in inland rivers and offshore waters, and all submarines, destroyers and frigates were recovered. By 1986, the navy had actually become one of the four major services and had reached full modernization.  The military branch with the highest standards.

    It¡¯s not surprising that this kind of thing happens. The navy itself is a relatively small service in China. Normally, the navy of a country has more people than the air force, but in China, the reverse is true.  In addition, the combat power of the navy is concentrated in ships. A large country can only have hundreds of ships at most, so it is relatively easy for the Red Alert Base to replace them.

    "It's just that it's easy to change ships, but it's difficult to train, so the Navy is also the department that borrows the most Red Alert soldiers from Qi Yiming. More than 3,000 Red Alert sailors, naval aviation pilots, and technical maintenance personnel are serving in the Navy.  During the disarmament process, the Navy also eliminated a group of less valuable personnel. It was determined to streamline its troops and streamline its administration. Part of the spare funds was used to pay personnel expenses for red police officers and soldiers, and part of it had to be used for the maintenance of such a large fleet.  superior.

    The Huludao base was rescheduled for production tasks in the first month of 1986. Because so many ships had caused indigestion in the navy, Liu Huaqing and other senior navy officials decided to take it easy and rebuild based on the situation, instead of rushing to build more.  After all, we are not fighting a world war. Building so many ships and throwing them in the harbor is not only eye-catching, but also depreciates naturally, so it is a pity to slow down the process.

    The crushing cranes are no longer in service with the Navy and are instead used to dispose of scrap equipment from the Army and Air Force.  The production schedule arranged by the Navy in January is to continue building destroyers and frigates. Two 052A and two 054A occupy the production capacity of one dock, while another dock has arranged two types of ships that have not been built before - nuclear submarines.

    From the beginning, Qi Yiming did not suggest that the Navy build nuclear submarines. First of all, according to the offshore defense strategy, nuclear submarines are not said to be too large to be used, but their utilization efficiency is not very high.  However, after the navy tastes the sweetness, it will inevitably have the idea of ????making the fleet larger.  In addition to the common dispute between large ships and small ships, there is also a dispute between aircraft carriers and submarines among naval shipbuilding factions.  However, Qi Yiming's base cannot yet build an aircraft carrier, so the only option available is a more powerful nuclear submarine.

    Meng Qingshan, a red alert engineer who serves as the general consultant for naval equipment and technology at the Huludao base, is standing at the dock door with Zhang Jiushao, the navy's staff officer in charge of ship reception. Three huge nuclear submarines slowly slid into the water with the help of guide rails.  There was no champagne, no ribbons, and it seemed somewhat lonely. Even the navy sailors and officers preparing to board the ship were not present. In order to maintain the absolute confidentiality of the base, the navy received the ships at its own military port.

    There are actually working Red Alert soldiers on the ship now. They are actually "bonuses" from the shipbuilding process.

    Zhang Jiushao's eyes flashed at this time, and he said to Meng Qingshan beside him: "One strategic nuclear submarine and two attack nuclear submarines can already carry out normalized combat readiness cruises. By then, we will have truly established a trinity of nuclear counterattacks.  Force."

    Meng Qingshan shook his head and denied: "I don't want to say whether the H-6K can be regarded as a strategic bomber. This 094 nuclear submarine alone can now be combat-ready for cruise, but it cannot carry out nuclear counterattack."

    Zhang Jiushao was stunned: "Why?"

    "Due to restrictions on manufacturing nuclear weapons at the base, the 12 Julang-2 submarine-launched ballistic missiles currently carried by this Big Black Fish are all conventional warheads. However, they can be put forward for modification, which will take about several months.  Right." Meng Qingshan replied.

    Zhang Jiushao understood it as soon as he heard it. Some felt it was a pity and some felt lucky. It was a pity because he could not quickly see the nuclear submarine on its combat readiness cruise, but he was lucky because this base did not have the ultimate force after all.  You must know that a considerable number of people are afraid of the almost omnipotent base, and Zhang Jiushao is one of them.

    Most of the people familiar with the matter basically hold the mentality of using the Red Alert Base and Qi Yiming. Caution is definitely there. Of course, there are also many people who have a complete trust attitude. For example, Navy Commander Liu Huaqing attaches great importance to what the base can bring.  the power of.

    Meng Qingshan, as the general manager of the Huludao base¡¯s naval equipment, is also very excited about the new ship. He said: ¡°Both types of submarines use relatively similar pressurized water reactors, although they have not reachedAlthough the circulation is low, the quiet performance and reliability of this centrifugal pressurized water reactor are very outstanding. The double-shell structure mainly uses 980 steel. It is not the most advanced in the world, but it is better in use and base.  There is absolutely no mention of the production process.  In addition, sonar, vibration-absorbing floating rafts, and segmented longitudinal slit water holes also improve the performance of the submarine.  Our more unique technology is the bionic shark skin silencer tile, which is considered excellent among similar international products.  The decibel level of the Type 093 attack nuclear submarine is about 110 decibels, which is better than the Los Angeles class nuclear submarine currently in service in the United States, but it is slightly inferior in power level. The maximum speed can only reach 30 knots, while the Los Angeles class can reach more than 33 knots.  "

    He paused and then said with regret: "Compared with the Ohio-class currently in service in the US military or the Soviet Typhoon-class, the 094 is far behind. First of all, the bomb load is half less than that of the Ohio-class, with only 12 Julang-  2. Secondly, in order to accommodate relatively large ballistic missiles, the double-shell structure of the 094 has a tortoise that will increase navigation resistance and noise. Its noise level is also about 110 decibels, which is slightly lower than the Typhoon level, but still higher than that of the Typhoon.  It¡¯s higher than 100 decibels in Ohio.¡±

    Zhang Jiushao immediately said: "Even so, the Navy is very satisfied. Compared with the 406 boat, this Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine can already meet our minimum strategic needs. As long as it cruises in our coastal waters, it has the ability to  It threatens Hawaii, Alaska and other places, and it is not a problem to hit the west coast a little further."

    The sea-based nuclear counterattack capability is actually mainly aimed at the United States across the Pacific. Even though the United States is now vigorously wooing China, military insiders still do not dare to be careless.  To deal with the Soviet Union, we mainly rely on mobile land-based launch vehicles on land. There is no need to dispatch sea-based forces to counterattack.

    Meng Qingshan said seriously: "Although the performance is not the best in the world, with a 093 escorting it, it is not a big problem for the strategic nuclear submarine to cross the first island chain for a larger range of combat readiness and deterrence cruise. If it really only stays on the first island  Within the chain, it is easier to be discovered by the United States and Japan, which have high anti-submarine density. "

    Zhang Jiushao nodded and asked: "Has your relevant technology been given to the Bohai Sea?"

    "Of course I gave it. After all, Bohai Heavy Industry is now affiliated with Shenghua Group. Their subsequent plan to build 091 has been stopped. A group of our engineering staff has begun to upgrade the equipment for 091. In addition, the 091 has been in service  We also need to make some improvements. Eventually, the Navy will operate 4 091 nuclear submarines and 1 092 submarine. However, the combat capability of the 092 is very worrying. As a technician, I still recommend that the navy recycle the 092.  It would be good to build a new 094.¡±

    Zhang Jiushao smiled helplessly, it was okay to leave it alone if there was no need.

    Meng Qingshan objected: "Since 092 cannot meet the combat requirements, and it is not that there is nothing that can be replaced, keeping it in the navy is just a waste of maintenance costs, and even nuclear fuel is a waste. It is better to recycle it directly and return it.  I can give you one more 094."

    As a strategic nuclear carrier, although the 092 is not powerful enough, Zhang Jiushao and others still believe that it is necessary to have a hand. He asked: "Why recycle the 092 and not the 091 attack nuclear submarine?"

    Meng Qingshan said: "It's okay to recycle it, but to be fair, although the design of 091 is relatively outdated and the performance is poor, it can still be useful with a few changes. After all, it is a ship that carries a lot of bombs and can submerge for a long time.  . If you don¡¯t want it, then I¡¯ll inform the boss to stop the continued construction of Bohai Heavy Industry and recycle your 091s that are already in service.¡±

    Zhang Jiushao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "We have to go back and ask Commander Liu for instructions on this matter, let's talk about it later."

    In fact, 091 is definitely not useless. Chinese soldiers have always been able to create more dazzling results with relatively inferior weapons. The 091-class submarine is also the most popular type of nuclear submarines made in China. It once went deep into the battle of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier alone.  The internal defense circle shocked the American aircraft carrier into a cold sweat. It once shuttled somewhat embarrassingly through Japan's territorial waters, but was finally forced to surface due to technical failures.

    Of course, 093 has made a fundamental leap compared to the previous type 091. It has made a lot of progress in terms of firepower, silence, and detection capabilities. Because of the base production, these two 093s only appeared in 2007.  The submarine is only strong but not weak.  The reason for building multiple 093s is also to form an amphibious battle group for anti-submarine warfare. Although both 052A and 054A have strong anti-submarine capabilities, the truly strongest anti-submarine method should be submarine-to-submarine.

    Another excellent 093 can also undertake channel clearing, strategic campaign underwater reconnaissance for the People's Navy, and even carry out break-up engagements after the outbreak of war.

    Originally, Qi Yiming wanted to build a submarine force based on conventional submarines, focusing on ordinary offshore defense. However, after experiencing a rich family and the victory in the war against South Korea, the Navy believed that it should be more aggressive and develop capabilities? Nuclear submarines operating in a larger area.  At this time, the Navy has not yet finalized the number of nuclear submarines to be used, but this number will definitely not be small.
