Chapter 1049: New Upgrades

As the first large air defense destroyer with regional air defense combat capability in the Republic, the 052B destroyer of this plane has almost a new combat capability, the Reeve long-range ship-to-air missile system from Da Maozi is for the Republic Navy at this time, it is simply a hanging, don't drop, the Reeve long-range ship-to-air missile system is generally not equipped with medium and short-range bombs, all of them are medium and long-range ship-to-air bombs in a water, which will be completely different from the previous Republic Navy short-range point defense with the Sea Red Flag 6/ 7 anti-aircraft missile systems of two families.

When I came to a naval shipyard in the north of the republic, it was really cold and windy, but fortunately, the painting and launching of the two new ships had been done not long ago, and although the outfitting work behind it was still quite troublesome, it was still considered to be construction inside the ship, and it was still able to ensure a certain construction progress in the winter.

Wearing thick cotton clothes, Yang Hui came to the shipyard with his old father-in-law a day in advance, at this time the warship was still doing the final outfitting work, it can be seen that the construction and service of these two warships are in a hurry, but when Yang Hui approached, he could feel a heartfelt shock.

People who have not really seen large warships, will never be able to feel how big the impact of large warships is on people, before Yang Hui saw those navy active sampans, compared with it is simply incomparable, it is really doubtful and Haoyue to compete for glory, especially when Yang Hui saw the bow of the five missile launchers in a 2+2+1 layout, I am afraid that the deterrent power of this thing is much more than other warships.

The launch canister of the Reeve M is too big and too thick, when the 051C of the Republic of China installed this type of launch canister, the capital of the ship can only use the 1+1 arrangement of two launch canisters, which really looks a little speechless, but people who really know the 051C destroyer project know that in fact, when the two warships were built, the original plan of the two warships was to be built into the 051B type, but later when the Republic introduced the Reeve M medium and long-range regional air defense system, It was because of the technical trade compensation clause that two sets of Reeve M physical goods had to be procured.

After purchasing two sets of Rif M, this thing can't be kept there forever, and this thing is also a big killer, so the Republic Navy rushed to make the best use of the starting point, and revised the design plan of the two 051B destroyers that were originally planned to be built again, and asked to install the Rif M system to make a real medium and long-range regional air defense ship.

The original design of the meter width was still used, but in order to be able to install two more launchers, the length of the hull was simply and rudely increased, and two launchers were also installed in the occupied helicopter hangar, and a full-load displacement destroyer came out in this way.

To be honest, as far as the destroyer with a full load displacement of 7,000 tons is concerned, in fact, the main reason is that the hull of the 051C is too narrow and can be stuffed into 6 rifm launch canisters, which is already very good, otherwise with the abundant power of the 051 series, even if it is made 9,000 years old, it will not be a problem.

However, time waits for no one, the navy of that year required speed, and itself was not satisfied with the 051c series of hulls, steam turbine power is not as good as the 052 ship gas turbine power design after all, so the navy still chose the simple and crude way of the 051b hull lengthening, mainly because it was too lazy to continue to invest too much in the 051 series.

Now it's different, the 052B destroyer in this plane can almost be regarded as a new ship of new design, which has no technical inheritance from the previous 052A destroyer.

As far as the power system of the hull is concerned, only the two old LM-2500 engines used in 052A, compared with the power system used in the current 052B, the powerful power provided by these four QC-160 gas turbines is simply doubled, and when the QC-160 single engine is compared with LM-2500, it may be said that the gap may be there, but it will definitely not be too big.

Speaking of displacement, there is no comparison, the 052A full load displacement is only 4800 tons, but the 052B destroyer is already a big guy with an empty displacement of up to 7000 tons, the standard displacement is close to 8000 tons, and the full load displacement easily breaks through the 8000 ton mark, and finally the full load displacement is up to 8600 tons. Such data, even compared with the Burke level in the early days of US imperialism, is actually at this level.

And what really satisfies Yang Hui should be the ultra-wide hull width data of this plane 052B destroyer, although this is still a gap with the Burke-class 20.4 meters, but the maximum width of nearly 20 meters is enough to stuff the two horizontal launcher layouts side by side in the bow of the ship.

From a distance, the missile launch pad in the bow of the 052B ship is actually slightly higher than the height of the foredeck, this design is very much in the style of the 051C destroyer, but the overall look is still very good, because this time compared to the 051C, it is necessary to stuff three more large launch canisters of the Reev M system into the bow, which has to move the bridge back as a whole, so it looks more Soviet warship style from a distance, which can always add some mighty atmosphere, Probably because the design of this destroyer was designed with the participation of Russian designers, after all, the matching of the Reve-M system needs to be considered from the hull design.

Behind the bridge is the republican * ship design can not change the transverse inclined anti-ship missile launcher, a total of 8 YJ-18 bombs, the appearance of this thing indicates that the previously planned YJ-18 anti-ship missile integration into the Reeve launch canister The idea should be blown up, it seems that there is still a gap between the ideal and the reality, but to be able to see the YJ-18 anti-ship missile on 052b, which is already very good in itself.

Looking further, there is no doubt about it, although the four QC-160 gas turbines can provide powerful power for the warship, but they are also larger than the 052A requirements for the design of larger intake and exhaust ducts, the warship designers of the Republic are obviously affected by the Burke class, the design of the intake and exhaust ports of the power system has a strong Burke flavor, the only thing that can make Yang Hui find a little comfort may be the integrated chimney mast that appeared on the 054 destroyer in the last face, This plane appeared on 052b in advance.

As for what radar is on top of the integrated mast, this can be roughly understood after making a comparison with the 051C destroyer, in fact, it can be seen that the 052B radar system is not much different from the 051C, but this is not in the way, after all, Yang Hui can see the Tombstone phased array radar on the top of the helicopter hangar in the rear, what else is there to quibble.

Considering the Navy's requirements for the double hangar of 052B, which takes up a lot of space on the rear deck, and finally only two large launch canisters are arranged in front of the rear hangar, which should be regarded as a more regrettable place in the design of this class of warship, in addition, Yang Hui really didn't see that there was no big deficiency in this 052B.

An 8000-ton hull, equipped with 7 large revolver launchers unique to the Reeve ship-to-air missile system, and 8 Eagle Strike 18 anti-ship bombs, plus double helicopter hangar requirements, Yang Hui said that this has been done very well, this new 052B as the main air defense destroyer of the Republic Navy has been rubbed more than enough, and then the fleet will cooperate with the 053H3 frigate equipped with medium and short-range point air defense, which can ensure the air defense of the entire fleet.
