As for why the first two 052B destroyers did not have the share of the Nanhai Fleet, Yang Hui did not need to ask more, anyway, this matter is not something he can interfere in more, the task of AVIC Southwest is to provide the Navy with a better gas turbine power system, provide a complete set of data links, such as the time, anyway, the slipway vacated at this time has begun the construction of the follow-up No. 3 and No. 4 ships, and the South China Sea Fleet will wait for two years at most. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now Yang Hui can have the opportunity to participate in the official delivery of the two warships to the navy, which is already very lucky in itself, rather than worrying about the allocation of these two warships, Yang Hui is more willing to inquire about the numbers of these two warships, for the number of the two warships, this thing is the most interesting.

The 114 ship on the previous side was directly skipped in the number of the Republic Navy, the 113 ship in front is the second ship of the two Type 052A missile destroyers of the Republic Navy, and the lead ship of the missile destroyer in the back, the entire North Sea Fleet is the only one missing the 114th ship, and people who don't understand may think that there are 4 in this number, which sounds unlucky and skipped.

Then this statement is extremely wrong, if the number with the 4 character has to be skipped, then why are several warships in service in the combat sequence of the Navy of the Republic? Therefore, the argument that the numbers are inauspicious is certainly wrong, but the other two arguments are more controversial.

First: the 114 ship belongs to the 052 series of that year, and the 114 ship is actually the third ship of the 052A-class destroyer, but because the power system source was cut off after the breakdown of Sino-US relations, the 114 ship on the slipway had to be dismantled, and finally the number of 114 was also sealed together.

Second: the 114 ship belongs to the 051 series of destroyer families, the 114 ship was built as a test ship that year, but later the development of the supporting ship-to-air missile failed, and the hull was built less than one-third of the progress before it was stopped, and after waiting for a period of time, the construction of the hull at that time has been renamed the 115 ship, which is the later 051C destroyer lead ship.

Both statements sound a little possible, but when you think about it carefully, they seem to be unlikely, because both statements seem to have big loopholes, and now Yang Hui wants to ask about the two different statements of the previous face, but his old father-in-law may not be able to answer himself!

However, if you ask if you should be pregnant: "114 ship, wasn't this number used on 052b before?" I remember hearing that there was a plan for the third ship of 052A, is it ......"

"Three? The third ship of the 052A project was proposed, but it was definitely not planned for the North Sea Fleet, and the number 114 was never planned for other warships, and the third ship of that year did not actually start construction work, and part of the planned funds were used for the weapons test ship that was commissioned last year, and the other part was used for the development of the 052B destroyer that we see now. So I don't know where you heard this news, it's all gossip from the roadside club. ”

Yes, sure enough, the final result will be like this, Yang Hui can't get any follow-up on the two controversial issues on the previous plane, and now it seems that there is no need to continue to entangle, the performance of the 052B destroyer can reach the current level, which is already very good, and it can make the valuable number used and used, and it can't be wasted, after all, the destroyer number of the republic is only a few segments, and even the number is reused after the old ship is decommissioned.

There is not much to say about the problem of the 114 ship, but the number of this 135 ship is different, and there is a lot worth talking about this thing, its number is actually related to a not very successful cooperation in the eighties, when it involved a cooperation project between China and Britain, a 051 destroyer modification.

There are a lot of bad things about the Republic and Britain before the 90s, the famous Spey engine project is well-known, and the navy is the famous Type 055 destroyer project in front of it, and the 055 project at that time was assisted by the British, what Olympus gas turbines, what heavy Sea Javelins were all installed on the 055. If the indicators of that year were successfully achieved, at least a cruiser with stronger performance than the Kidd class.

So in addition to the 055 project that was launched that year, did the Navy cooperate with Britain on other projects? The answer is yes. In fact, as early as March 1980, when the then British Secretary of State for Defense Pym's visit to China, the leaders of the armed forces of the two countries listed Sino-British cooperation in the refit of 051 destroyers as the focus of military and technical cooperation between the two sides.

In the cooperation, the Republic Navy originally envisaged a comprehensive modernization of the eight Type 051 destroyers in service at that time, mainly covering shipboard weapons, fire control radar, command/electronic countermeasures equipment and combat command centers, focusing on improving the air defense combat capability of the fleet and individual ships, following the 053K air defense frigate, another attempt by the Republic Navy to develop air defense warships began.

After the two sides entered the negotiations, according to the design data of the Type 051 destroyer provided by the Republic, Britain found that the design concept of the 051 ship was still stuck in the concept of World War II, and on the basis of these existing ones, it was necessary to make great improvements to the design of the hull, including the addition of the most important special cabin for the modern combat command center, etc., so China and Britain reached a consensus on the necessary redesign of the 051, and the first Sino-foreign cooperative modification in the history of the 051 series -- 051S came into being.

In June 1981, China and Britain decided on an improved design plan for the Type 051S air defense destroyer: it adopts a high freeboard deck ship type, with a normal displacement of 4,000 tons, and is equipped with heavy "Sea Javelin" regional air defense missiles, so that the Type 051S ship has a certain degree of regional air defense capability at sea and a strong single-ship air defense combat capability.

According to the provisions of the contract between the two sides, with the assistance of the United Kingdom, the Republic Navy will first refit two Type 051S ships, and then refit the remaining six follow-up ships, and at that time there were still some ideas, that is, at the same time to replace the new ship-based weapons and equipment that are still being developed in China, which will include the "YJ-8" series of anti-ship missiles, "Yu-7" torpedoes, and anti-submarine helicopters.

The use of these planned improvements in the design will push the comprehensive combat power of the 051 modification to a higher level, and on the basis of this modified design, the subsequent new 051 ship will also be built according to this new design, and at this time, the so-called follow-up new 051S destroyer, the first ship in the plan is the North Sea Fleet 111 ship number, and the second ship number is 135.

However, as with other Sino-British cooperation projects, in January 1983, at the joint meeting for the final review of the contract, the Shipbuilding Corporation and the Ministry of Aerospace Industry listed the poor performance of the British Type 42 destroyer in the Falklands War, and then said that it could rely on domestic forces to complete its own development work in the same time, and reach the same level of technology, and the cost only needed to introduce half of the contract amount!

In this way, not only were the ships in the follow-up construction plan not built, but even the Type 051 destroyers that had been built in the previous plan to improve were canceled, and with the cancellation of the naval cooperation project between China and Britain, the numbering of the 111 ships was also skipped by the North Sea Fleet, and then the two Type 052A frigates in service with the North Sea Fleet were directly numbered.

What Yang Hui didn't expect now was that the number of the 135 ships belonging to the East China Sea Fleet was pulled out for use this time, which was completely different from the previous practice of skipping the number of 135 and directly numbering 136 when the East China Sea Fleet of the Republic of China commissioned the first purchased modern-class destroyer.
