Section 62 Establishment of the Navy
The equipment of the army battalion is still the same as before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The equipment of the navy has undergone a major change, and the equipment of the maritime patrol detachment was patrol motorboats, which drove very fast on the sea, and it was okay to catch and steal smuggling, and fighting with the navies of other countries was like mosquitoes hitting cannons,......。
With the small physique of the Manua Islands, you can only buy second-hand warships, because new ships and active capital ships, like the American Arleigh. Burke-class missile destroyers, China's 052D, are very advanced warships in the world, active capital ships, will definitely not be sold, and there is no way to order them, because, these advanced warships integrate the most advanced military technology of various countries,......, sale may lead to the leakage of these advanced military technologies, and the United States' F15 will only be exported to the most hardcore younger brother countries of the United States, such as Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea, Singapore, these hardcore allies.
The Manua Islands want to buy the active main forces of various countries, and advanced warships are like a fantasy talk, like the F15, and the United States will basically not sell them to the Manua Islands.
Buying a second-hand warship is a bit difficult, but the idea is feasible.
Of course, depending on what kind of warship to buy, the US Navy would rather sink important warships than send them out, while low-quality warships can be sold by a buyer.
For example, after the US Navy's Spruance-class destroyers, which are extremely capable of anti-submarine warfare, are decommissioned, except for one target ship, most of the rest will be handled by sinking training,......。
The Manua Islands spent some cost to buy two Perry-class frigates from the American side.
The Perry class is a low-level warship in the US Navy, and even if it has anti-aircraft missiles, it is not qualified to be incorporated into the aircraft carrier battle group, and can only escort the logistics fleet and the merchant fleet,......。
The "Perry" class frigates have been exported to more than 10 countries and regions, and in later generations, Taiwan Island spent NT$5.6 billion to purchase two from the United States.
The Manua Islands spent an even greater price this time, $237 million, equivalent to nearly NT$9 billion, and taking into account the factor of currency depreciation, the Manua Islands spent twice as much as the Taiwan Island to buy two "Perry" class ships.
Fortunately, though, I bought it.
The warship was bought.
The crew of one "Perry" class is 214 people, and the two ships are 428 people, and all 428 people are required to be qualified naval personnel, from the navigation department, the gun department, the water control department, the radar department,......, the chief navigator, the helmsman, the sail cableman, the gunner, the gunner, the rangefinder,......, and may be in addition to the ship department, all positions on the ship need to be proficient in the corresponding skills of naval personnel.
Manua Islands spent a lot of money to recruit, fortunately, there are a lot of retired naval personnel in the world, it took half a year to recruit, the recruitment needs to be trained, and a very high salary and treatment need to be given, and the naval personnel on a ship need a period of running-in,......, not only that, but also have to build a port for warships to dock and repair, maintenance, there must be a shipyard, and a complete naval logistics system is also needed,......, anyway, it is difficult to build a navy, and it is even more difficult to raise a navy. The Navy is a very complex system.
It is not simply a matter of buying two warships and immediately pulling them out to fight, but it will take at least one or two years to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Chen Dong could only spend a huge amount of money to constantly improve the naval system of the Manua Islands, so as to strive to be able to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time,......。
In fact, the idea of building a navy in the Manua Islands was already in the second half of last year, and both Chen Dong and the committee felt that they could not rely on a convoy of more than 100 people to defend the security of the Manua Islands, which was unrealistic,......, and that the Manua Islands were an island country and needed a navy to defend and safeguard the maritime interests of the Manua Islands,......。
In fact, the relationship between the Manua Islands and the United States is also very close, very related,......, the "Perry" class can be sold to other countries, of course, it can also be sold to the Manua Islands, not to mention the decommissioned second-hand ,......。
The Manua Islands have purchased two "Perry" class frigates, because these are two old ships, which have been in service for several decades, and after not being used,......, the two ships have been modified in the shipyards of the United States, the weapons systems on the ships have been updated, and relatively advanced shipborne and medium-range radar systems have been installed, which can well carry out various combat missions such as anti-submarine, escort, air defense, reconnaissance, vigilance patrol, mine-laying, supporting landings, and supporting the army's coastal flanks,......。
This was the beginning of the construction of a navy in the Manua Islands,......。
The purchase of the Perry-class was negotiated with the United States for several months, and it took several months to refit at American shipyards and update weapons systems, and it was not until June that two of the newly modified Perry-class ships arrived in the Manua Islands,......。
The naval personnel of both ships are also fully equipped.
On June 21, 428 Navy personnel embarked on two ships and entered their respective posts,......, which was the founding day of the Manuan Islands Navy, two "Perry" class frigates, two 400-ton torpedo boats, two more than 300-ton missile boats, and more than a dozen patrol motor boats officially entered service with the Manuan Islands Navy,......。
This navy still needs to be run-in and through continuous training at sea before it can form combat effectiveness,......。
The Manua Islands, a major naval power, will certainly not be able to defeat them, and the measures against the aggression of small countries and the pirates at sea are more than enough, which are sufficient to effectively protect the territorial security of the Manua Islands and safeguard the maritime interests of the Manua Islands,......。
The escort force of the Manua Islands is equivalent to a country's defense force, the size is small, but the five organs are complete, the escort army is divided into the army, navy, and an air force,......, an army battalion that is not fully organized, two ships, four boats, more than a dozen patrol motor boats of naval personnel, a marine corps, 23 planes carrying air-to-ship torpedoes purchased from the United States, that is, the air force,......, the navy of the Manua Islands undertakes the task of coastal defense. 23 fighters in combat radius in conjunction with naval combat ,......。
In the battle off the coast of the Manu'a Islands, the three islands of Taou, Ofu and Olosega can be used as an unsinkable supercarrier, as long as there is an airstrip for take-off and landing fighters, there is no need for escort, and a steady stream of aircraft can take off to participate in the attack on enemy ships at sea,......。
