Volume 1 105 Visiting the Rabbit Battleship

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Chinese fleet that has just entered Pearl Harbor is undoubtedly the most mysterious and attracts the most attention. In accordance with the international practice of expressing friendship and military mutual trust, three Chinese warships, including the 039A conventionally powered submarine, were opened at Pearl Harbor.  , allowing naval officers from "quasi-allied countries" and some local tourists to visit "the Chinese Navy's brilliant achievements in national defense construction."

    Of course, there are restrictions on open visits. When the navies of most countries conduct friendly visits, there are some cabins that are not allowed to be visited or photographed. After in-depth discussions within the navy, some contents were selected that should not be made public, including the power cabin.  Sections are not allowed to enter, and photography is not allowed in the combat command room.

    But despite this, the foreign colleagues who boarded the Chinese warships continued to marvel.  Because of the high standards of ship maneuvering and the high requirements of Chinese military personnel, the warship appears to be extremely clean, with no trace of rust on the outside of the hull. In addition to the fact that the ship is new, the battleship is also very carefully maintained.

    U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Hayes, who serves as the chief director of the exercise, accompanied by Chinese Navy Rear Admiral Shan Dade, and his counterparts from other countries boarded the destroyer, which has a snow-white hull and is as beautiful and proud as a swan.  After boarding the bridge, everyone's eyes were first attracted by the huge turret on the front deck.

    Hayes said: "The 6.1-inch (155mm) main gun is probably the largest caliber among the world's destroyers."

    Lu Junfu, the captain of the Shenzhen, nodded and said: "Yes, among the destroyer class, the 155-meter gun of our type is the largest in the world."

    A US Navy staff officer immediately asked: "Is it China's strategic judgment that there is a need for shelling the shore during landing operations and other occasions?" Although it seems to be a harmless question, it is actually a question of China's naval construction.  The aggression present in.

    Shan Dade said calmly: "Our country has a long sea territory and coastline. In the struggle to defend our country's coast and sea territory, the navy is inherently responsible for the mission of providing near-shore firepower assistance to the army. There is nothing to criticize about this."

    A temporary display board was erected in both Chinese and English to introduce the performance of this type of main gun. Lippett, the British commander who had previously dismissed the Chinese navy, said with a heavy expression of suspicion: "The rate of fire is 40 rounds per minute.  , can it really reach this level? Also, the range is said to be 36 kilometers, is it a joke?"

    Captain Lu Junfu felt the contempt of his peers and was angry in his heart. However, the instructions he gave before leaving were to maintain the etiquette image of the Chinese Navy. He could not express his dissatisfaction directly in front of so many people, so he just said firmly  : "Whether we can get this data, let everyone witness it during the exercise."

    Soon the Americans came out to smooth things over again, saying a few innocuous words, and everyone filed into the cabin of the ship.  Entering the CIC command room, the core of the bridge and the brain of the entire ship, all the foreign colleagues once again showed great amazement.

    Even several captains and senior officers of the U.S. Navy couldn't help showing solemn expressions on their faces, because the excellent layout of the situation room was basically paperless, and all they could see were densely packed electronic devices arranged in battle positions.  Equipment, it is obvious that these complex electronic devices have very user-friendly interfaces. Chinese people do not turn them on, but just from the appearance, there are not many cluttered buttons, and everything seems very intuitive and simple.

    American Colonel Fiore looked around and asked Lu Junfu: "There is a data link on this ship, right?"

    Lu Junfu said matter-of-factly: "Of course, how can we fight without that thing?"

    Americans have been committed to the development of data links since the 1950s, and have experienced many different data links such as Link4, Link4A, and Link11.  What is truly epoch-making is the fact that Link16 began to be studied in the 1970s, and Link16 was not officially delivered until 1983.  Regarding how to use the information chain system, in addition to outlining the top-level design of the field, much of it relies on feedback from grassroots operators in actual operations.  During this process, quite a few operators felt that the data link was a very troublesome thing, and some even resisted it.  However, the Chinese captain naturally believes that without a data link, there is no combat capability. This shows that at least the Chinese navy is further than the Soviets in this regard.

    Even among the ships of NATO countries, many are only equipped with simple radar avionics and communication facilities. In fact, only the latest warships such as Aegis ships in the US military are equipped with systems that integrate and analyze information and data. Unexpectedly, the Chinese seem to  Also mastered similar abilities.

    If China's move toward the United States excites the Americans, now that China has shown more and more defense technological achievements that are closely following the United States and are not inferior to the United States, it has also made a group of American military personnel with a strategic vision  Worry arose.

      Next, everyone visited the living cabins on the ship, including the sailors¡¯ cabins, dining rooms, entertainment rooms, etc. The cabins for officers and soldiers were obviously of high quality, and even the beds were very good, and no metal that was easy to rust and heavy was used.  The bed is fixed to the wall and is made of wood as the main body and a special fireproof lightweight plastic material on the outside.  The cabins are relatively spacious and look very comfortable.  There is a small library on the ship, and there are even many board games and card games prepared for the sailors, as well as some fitness equipment.

    Australian Captain Bentley muttered: "The environment is really good, much better than our ship. I can't believe this is a warship from a communist country, why does it look more 'luxurious' than the naval ships of our free world?"  "

    Everyone smiled after hearing his words. Soviet naval ships have never considered the habitability of personnel. As long as the combat effectiveness can be improved, the sailors will be fine regardless of whether they are generals (this is actually a prejudice, even on the Typhoon-class submarines)  There is a sauna and swimming pool).  This also reflects the values ??of the Soviet Union and even most red countries. At one time, many things in China were similar.  However, the foundation of the 052A is the Red Alert Allied Destroyer. Many design concepts are integrated with the purified achievements of the Chinese Navy in later generations. The people-oriented concept has also become a consideration that must be penetrated into naval shipbuilding. Therefore, compared with those before the 1980s,  Warships, from the perspective of livability and operating pleasure, the 052A can beat the navies of the free world by several blocks.

    Hayes, commander of the Pacific Fleet, agreed: "The concept of shipbuilding of our Chinese counterparts should be recognized. Our naval equipment development should also learn from this idea to provide a better combat and living environment for the boys!"

    After walking back and forth inside the ship, the visitors came to another weapon they wanted to see most, the YJ-62 long-range anti-ship missile.

    The British Lieutenant Colonel Lippett, who had been complaining and questioning before, was observing the launcher with wide eyes at this time. Because there was no prohibition on taking photos here, many visitors took out their cameras and took photos from different angles.  Among them, the ones who were shot with the most care, as if they were wildly shot in the spirit of AV shooting in their own country, are several Self-Defense Officers from the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

    People in the Chinese Navy have long noticed this problem. No matter what the occasion is, the Japanese keep taking pictures.  A PLA captain whispered to the captain Lu Junfu's ear: "Captain, there must be a ghost in that white briefcase that little Japan is holding. As soon as he got to a place where we don't allow taking pictures, he put the briefcase under his arm.  , and then kept fiddling with it quietly. If I guessed correctly, there should be a pinhole camera used by spies. "

    Lu Junfu¡¯s face turned green, and then he whispered: ¡°I¡¯ll deal with that thing later.¡±

    The captain smiled sinisterly and said, "Okay, put it on me."

    At this time, a group of naval officers from the free world were praising China's anti-ship missiles without restraint. Australian Captain Bentley said as if he was singing a sonnet: "What a perfect masterpiece, only six meters tall."  It is only a little bit long and weighs just over a ton, and the launcher is perfectly designed. It can skim 30 meters over the sea and have a range of up to 400 kilometers. This kind of thing is simply an aircraft carrier killer!"

    It¡¯s just that this person¡¯s emotional intelligence is not very easy to use. The British and Americans who have aircraft carriers here have no good expressions after hearing this.

    Shan Dade came to the rescue and said: "I think it's not enough, because the air control range of the aircraft carrier battle group is about a circle with a radius of 600-800 kilometers. In order to launch missiles, you must enter the air control circle of the aircraft carrier battle group, and  The aircraft carrier¡¯s ability to suppress other surface ships is very obvious, so calling it an aircraft carrier killer is somewhat exaggerated.¡±

    After listening to his words, Lieutenant General Hayes showed some approval, seeming to be satisfied with Shan Dade's statement.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that the conversation would soon turn in another direction. The Canadian asked: ¡°Will your navy sell this kind of anti-ship missile to other countries?¡±

    This time the Americans were immediately nervous and in pain, because most of the anti-ship missiles used by NATO countries are American-made Harpoon missiles, except for the French, which have always loved their own Exocet.  But it is obvious that there is a certain gap in performance between the Harpoon missile and the YJ-62.

    The Americans have not been particularly attentive to anti-ship missiles, and the Harpoon model has been used for decades. Until thirty years later, their LRASM new generation anti-ship missile has not yet officially entered service.  The main reason is that the core of American anti-ship tactics is the aircraft carrier battle group, not the destroyer and frigate equipped with anti-ship missiles. Therefore, Harpoon, a snake-oil-type ship-to-ship missile, has been used for half a century.

    But now the world has been calling aircraft carriers useless since the Falklands War. Although many American strategists sneer at this, some people really believe it.  Developing anti-ship missiles became a popular choice for a while. In fact, the Soviet UnionThe United People's Liberation Army has always been a leader in anti-ship missiles. It has a number of products with dazzling performance such as basalt, granite, and sunburnt, but now NATO cannot get them.

    Although the Tu family is still flying the little red flag of a socialist country, the American brother said that they are quasi-allies, and their arms have been exported to countries like South Korea. Maybe they can buy better anti-ship missiles from them  .
