Chapter 914: Observing the Ship Eight

Each warship sailed across the stands of the USS Truman nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, with the captain leading the crew, standing on the deck and saluting the reviewing stand, and then turning in a half-circle back to the front of the carrier, only to face the stands. These warships are centered on the USS Washington and USS Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and they are lined up in a line on the left, which is very spectacular and imposing.

This is the end of the review of the phalanx of surface warships, just with the current lineup, the heads of state look at it with great envy, this is the dream lineup that the Navy is most looking forward to, but everyone doesn't know that most of the new ships of the mercenary corps navy have not yet been unveiled!

"The mercenary navy is known as the second largest navy in the world, it really deserves its name, just the attack power of these warships in front of you can easily destroy a medium-sized country, if the thirteen aircraft carrier battle groups all reach this level, it is almost an instant kill for the navies of the vast majority of countries, and the one that can confront it head-on is the US Navy." President Park Kim said with a sigh.

The navy is a military branch with the supremacy of strength, there is no possibility of tricks, the total tonnage of the navies of most countries in the world is not even as large as the tonnage of a battleship of a mercenary regiment, and it will be blown over in one breath, how can this battle be fought?

"My dear, the faces of the head of state of Indu and the prime minister of Japan seem to be a little wrong, you see that they are muttering together, they are frightened by the mercenary navy, right?" In Meng Shuang and Meng Ling's villa, Meng Ling pointed to the live broadcast on TV and said with a smile.

"These two are not easy, one is because of the emergence of the Atlantis Sea State, the Great Indian Ocean strategy has been hindered, and the other is naturally very unhappy, and the other is dead-eyed, always thinking about snatching back the South Kuril Islands, seeing half of the lineup of the parade, knowing that this mind may be infinitely close to extravagance, it is strange to be happy!" Wu Chen was lying on the sofa like an uncle, watching the live broadcast of the TV station.

Although the formation of the mercenary navy is large, it has shocked more than 100 countries, but the only one who is not very cold is the US Navy, which is where the confidence of the superpower lies. A modern navy can not only be achieved by relying on a large number of warships, but also requires investment like gold and silver.

"The Mercenary Navy, with the support of our US government, plus the former Soviet capital ships sold to them by Russia, can be said to be developing very fast, I wonder if it is possible for them to threaten the security of the United States?" The President of the United States asked.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that this navy can indeed destroy the navies of most countries, and there is no doubt that it can even destroy a large country, and in terms of size and combat effectiveness, it deserves to be called the second largest navy in the world."

"But you see, although the warships of the mercenary regiment are large in tonnage and many models, most of them are second-hand warships, except for the Ali Burke-class missile destroyer, three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and several Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines obtained from the United States, the rest are old warships of more than ten or even twenty years, and repair and maintenance are big problems."

"Second-hand warships are indeed very cheap, and the warships of the United States and the former Soviet Union are also genuine, much stronger than other countries in terms of manufacturing technology, and there is absolutely no difference in use, which meets the needs of the mercenary corps navy at this stage, with low price, strong durability, high technical content, strong combat effectiveness, etc."

"But what a country's navy wants is to bring forth the new, constantly find defects in the process of use, and then correct them, which is why there are multiple types of first-class warships, and mercenaries always follow us, and this approach cannot have the ability to threaten the United States." said the Minister of Defense.

This is definitely insightful, and it hits the nail on the head to say the biggest problem that the mercenary corps is currently facing, showing that this person who served as Minister of Defense for the second time has real talent and learning, and Wu Chen also knows his own shortcomings, so he has designed and developed so many new warships.

"Your Excellency the President, whether a branch of the military is threatening or not, to consider from many aspects, obviously, the mercenary corps and the US Navy in this area is too far behind, the key is that its own economy can not afford the investment of the Navy, this is a money-burning service, a slight move is tens of millions of dollars, but think about it, a navy that does not even go out on aircraft carriers in peacetime, how can combat effectiveness threaten the security of the United States?"

"Also, the navy is also a very rigorous service, actual combat experience is very important, our US Navy has the world's richest combat experience, which has been tested in the flames of war, and no country's navy can confront us head-on, which I am full of confidence." This was stated by the Deputy Secretary of the Admiralty.

Nuclear submarines are the main part of this parade, and they are also the focus of attention of military delegations of various countries; after the review of surface warships, there is a 15-minute rest, you can drink some tea or coffee, you can eat some fruits or cakes, and wait for the curtain to slowly open. There is really only one chance to see the world's top nuclear submarine at the same time and in the same place.

The mercenary corps bought the hulls of two nuclear submarines from Russia, namely the lead boat of the Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine numbered K-329 and the lead boat of the K-535 Borean ballistic missile nuclear submarine, which Russia had no money to build at that time and resold them to the mercenary corps for $100 million each. This is definitely a friendly price, and the hull of a double-hull nuclear submarine weighing several thousand tons cannot be taken without half a billion dollars.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now the second stage of the parade, the much-anticipated nuclear submarine formation will appear in front of you one by one, with the sound of the naval guns of the Iowa and the Wisconsin, we can see that the first nuclear submarine has been unveiled, this is a new type of nuclear submarine made by the mercenary corps using Russian nuclear submarine technology, classified as a Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine!" The host of the Golden Triangle Federal National Television Station at the front of the deck of the aircraft carrier pointed to the nuclear submarine that appeared in the distance.

The Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine, the first type of attack nuclear submarine equipped by Russia after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, is specially designed to deal with the American Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine, and is also the culmination of the former Soviet Union's nuclear submarine manufacturing technology. It has a displacement of 8,600 tons above water and 13,800 tons under water, with a length of 111 meters, a width of 13 meters, and a maximum depth of 600 meters.

Designed as a double-hull coarse drop-shaped, divided into ten watertight compartments, with a endurance of one hundred days, a crew of ninety people, a noise drop of about ten decibel compared to the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine, a single oar, a speed of sixteen knots on the water, and a speed of thirty-one knots underwater.

The submarines are equipped with eight universal vertical launch systems, each unit is equipped with four P-800 Ruby supersonic anti-ship missiles, 2.5 times the speed of sound, a maximum range of 300 kilometers, and a warhead of 300 kilograms of high explosives.

The Boreas ballistic missile nuclear submarine is also the first type of strategic nuclear submarine equipped by Russia after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, with an elongated teardrop-shaped shape, a double-hull structure in the power compartment and head, and a single-hull body with a length of 170 meters, a width of 13.5 meters, a water displacement of 17,000 tons, an underwater displacement of 24,000 tons, and a self-sustaining force of more than 90 days.

This class of nuclear submarines has 16 missile launchers, can launch 16 submarine-launched ICBMs, has six 533-millimeter torpedo tubes, is equipped with ship-to-air missile launch systems, and is less noisy than Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines.
