Chapter 175: The Main Battleship
Fortunately, the Bohai Sea is not the South China Sea, and there are no powerful pirates, so it is not so troublesome. So it's just a few fishing boats, and the huge and strange size of modern ships arouses their curiosity, thinking that they have seen a miracle.
As they hesitated to see if they could get any closer, a large fleet of ships surrounded them with a roar.
None of the fishermen dared to raise objections, and as soon as they shouted, they fled immediately.
Wang Yue was relieved when he saw them gone. But think about it, unless these ships are parked here for ten days and half a month, no one really dares to go up.
He first went through the soft gangway and got on the 071 dock landing ship, and the soft gangway of all the large ships had been lowered to facilitate climbing.
The ship is the most advanced dock landing ship in the modern world, with a full capacity of 1.85 million tons, a length of 210 meters, and a width of 28 meters. At a cruising speed of 18 knots, it has a cruising range of 6,000 nautical miles (190,000 km). It is equipped with a standard crew of 175 people, and can also carry 800 troops and more than 50 armored vehicles of various types.
In addition, the ship is equipped with four air-cushion landing craft and two personnel landing craft, and the helicopter platform can dock two helicopters at the same time. The hangar can also store two helicopters, so this landing ship is also called a quasi-helicopter carrier.
The dock landing ship chosen by Wang Yue has two Wuzhi-9 helicopters on it, which can be used as reconnaissance aircraft in the future, although the airborne weapons are not powerful, but the wooden ships used to attack this time and space are also trivial.
There are also more than 30 ZBD-05 amphibious assault vehicles in the lower cabin, which can be launched and landed on the beach forty kilometers from the coast. It has a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers on the water, carries a crew of eleven people, is armed with a 30-mm machine gun and a 7.62-mm coaxial machine gun, and an anti-tank missile.
Its own armament is a PJ-26 seventy-six-mm naval gun and four AK-630 thirty-mm cannons, which can hit targets at a distance of seventeen kilometers.
Wang Yue considered the enemy at sea that he would face in the future, and the ship's own armament was sufficient. The reason why this ship was chosen was because of its personnel projection ability and landing ability.
All modern large ships lack suitable ports in this time and space, and landing ships solve this problem very well.
The ship's No. 1 deck and superstructure are mainly equipped with a command room, a control cabin, a medical rescue cabin and some living cabins. The deck is mainly the living quarters, offices and galleys of the crew and some of the landing personnel.
The ship is fully equipped inside, so it will serve as the flagship of the future navy.
But it was not an easy task for the fledgling naval detachment to learn to operate the ship smoothly. This is not the same as driving, not to mention the complex operating table, even this huge body, which is also incomparable to the car.
To drive such a giant ship, you need to learn to read radar, and driving such a ship is a professional course in college.
So for the time being, the ship can only watch, and it can't move. If you crash into the boat, the joke will be too big. Wang Yue's requirements are not high, as long as he can drive without making trouble, practice makes perfect.
The dock landing ship is not yet the largest, the largest of these ships is a product tanker with a full displacement of 115,000 tons.
In order to secure oil for ships at sea, it is necessary to have abundant reserves. Modern oil tankers of 300,000 tons are available, but unfortunately it is crude oil and cannot be used for the time being. Giant oil tankers will play the role of the queen of the sea for a long time, and they are ships that do not need to be operated for a long time.
Accompanying the fleet's ocean voyage will be two 903-class supply ships with a full displacement of 23,000 tons. The ship has well-developed pumping and refueling equipment, is a very good bridge for tankers and other vessels. It has more than 10,000 tons of oil reserves, ammunition and other supplies, and its self-defense weapons are two quadruple 37-mm guns with a range of 17 kilometers.
The supply ships are not needed for the time being, and the endurance of each ship can meet the needs of the near future.
These four ships are the baby bumps that can't be started at the moment, and the cockpit is usually equipped with three people as standard.
A first officer, second officer, or third officer is responsible for looking out and avoiding the bridge and directing the pilot during the voyage.
The sailor on duty is mainly responsible for steering during the voyage, and during the use of the autopilot, assists in lookout. The sailor is the actual pilot, but he works under the command of the first mate and others.
There is also a pilot, who is more familiar with the local ports and waterways, and assists the captain in guiding the ship in and out of the port or navigating in narrow waterways.
The captain is the general manager and works on the bridge during sailing and arrivals, as well as in emergency or special situations.
During the voyage, you need to constantly look around, and you have to keep walking back and forth, which is mainly the work of the first mate.
These ships, which can be gathered together, are all driven by Wang Yue. In the vicinity of Tianjin Port in later generations, there were countless ships of all kinds. It is not difficult to drive at close range, and it can be mastered with a little time, not to mention that he is the only one on the sea, so there is no need to worry about colliding with other ships.
Anyone can operate a modern ship, but there are many things to learn about ocean piloting, smooth docking, and engine maintenance.
The first thing to learn to drive is the dock landing ship, which is a flagship after all.
The other ships were less complicated, including four 7,600-ton mixed passenger and cargo ships.
These passenger and cargo roll-on/roll-off wheels will be the battleships of the naval detachment, equipped with recoilless guns and heavy machine guns, and the effect is also very effective.
The passenger and cargo ship is a cross-sea ferry of Changxing Island in Bohai Bay, with a crew quota of 53 people, a capacity of 700 passengers in the upper three cabins, 530 beds, 170 loose seats, and 30 or 40 cars on the ground floor.
The ship has a kitchen, bathroom, medical room, etc., all of which are fully equipped. It is 97 meters long, 31 meters wide, has a speed of 18 knots, and a cruising capacity of 5,500 nautical miles.
The passenger roller can carry up to 2,000 people, and the comfort is also unmatched by ships on this plane.
The top platform can be mounted with a recoilless gun as a weapon platform. The front and rear of the first floor and the flanks can be equipped with weapons.
The cockpit of the passenger and cargo ship is simple and clear, with a wide field of vision, simple to drive and easy to operate.
The real main warships of the naval detachment are six provincial-level maritime surveillance ships with a tonnage of about 1,500 tons.
The maritime surveillance ships of this tonnage are called intermediate maritime surveillance ships, all of which are about 80 meters long, have a crew of 30 or 40 people, and 36 of them were launched after 2,100 years. The ship was armed with two 12.7 mm machine guns and two high-pressure water cannons with a range of 100 meters.
The speed of the maritime surveillance ship is 20 knots (37 kilometers), the maximum speed is 25 knots, the endurance is 6,000 nautical miles, the self-sustaining power is 30 days and nights, and the typhoon resistance is above level 8.
