When they arrived at the gate of Bincheng Xingang, the guards checked the documents of the two of them, registered the car number, and then let them go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Director Tian directly approached the military representatives at the port to supervise the modification of the aircraft carrier's equipment.

Yang Wenbin was very excited.

Because, you can get up close and personal with the legendary water giant.

Taking the gangway of the Hong Kong side, Director Tian and Yang Wenbin, accompanied by military representatives, boarded the flight deck of the Varyag.

According to the original design of the former Soviet Union, the Varyag has a full load displacement of 67,000 tons and a total length of 306 meters, which is only 22 meters shorter than the American aircraft carrier Nimitz.

The height of the bow flight deck is seven stories high from the water, standing on the deck, looking at the water, it is dizzying, although Yang Wenbin is not dizzy, but the aircraft carrier is moored in the water, and the hull is shaking with the waves.

The military representative, a talkative comrade, briefed Director Tian and Yang Wenbin on the relevant situation of the aircraft carrier while visiting.

"The width of the aft flight deck is 73 meters.

The carrier can accommodate up to about 60 warplanes, and 12 SS-N-19 anti-ship missile launchers were planned to be installed in the forward part of the flight deck. Its main mission was to ensure the safety and combat effectiveness of the former Soviet ballistic missile nuclear submarines and to destroy the enemy's naval forces at sea and at bases. Of course, before the sale, Ukraine dismantled the weapons system. ”

"The original Varyag used 4 TB-12 steam turbines, the predecessor of TB-12 was TB-8, and TB-8 happened to be the main engine of the domestic Type 051 destroyer, and the domestic model was the Type 453 steam turbine. The power of the TB-8 is 36,000 horsepower, and the Luda-class destroyer used two TB-8 steam turbines to reach a rare high speed of 38 knots, and the power of the TB-12 was 45,000 horsepower.

Through our own efforts, coupled with the maintenance and refurbishment experience of the modern-class destroyer GTZA-674 steam turbine (an improved version of the TB-12) and the TB-12 on the Varyag aircraft carrier, from the consideration of technical continuity and ensuring the construction time, our domestic aircraft carrier will continue to use conventional steam power in the future, similar to the power configuration of the original Varyag, with 4 steam turbines, 8 booster boilers, 4 shaft propulsion, and a total power of 200,000 horsepower. ”

The military representative led two people along the passage and entered the lower part of the flight deck.

Yang Wenbin estimated that there could be more than ten floors below the flight deck, and entering the third floor, it felt like a maze, full of passages and cabins.

I heard that the total length of the passages inside the entire aircraft carrier is tens of kilometers, so you can imagine how complex the internal structure of the aircraft carrier is.

"The original Varyag has a total of more than 3,000 cabins, which can accommodate more than 1,000 people living in the cabins. In the future, we will build a modern restaurant, a supermarket, a post office, a laundry room, a gym, a garbage disposal station, etc.

There are many rules for passing inside the aircraft carrier, such as going to the bow position, to take the port side, that is, to the left passage, to go to the stern position, to take the starboard side, that is, to the right passage. When going up and down the escalator, follow the rules of first going up and then down.

The original Varyag was originally equipped with 12 P-700 "Granite" long-range anti-ship missile launch systems and a lot of armament.

After China purchases the ship, it is planned to modify it to suit other purposes, and configure one 1130 close-in defense gun, one 18-pack Hongqi-10 anti-aircraft missile launcher, one 24-tube jamming missile launcher, and one 12-tube anti-submarine rocket launcher on each side of the stern; 1 close-in defense gun on the right side of the bow; The left side is equipped with 1 18-mount Hongqi-10 anti-aircraft missile launcher. The military representative continued to introduce diligently.

Although he once learned the basics of aircraft carriers in books, today, he was also shocked to see this behemoth, although it is now just an empty shell.

Owning a native aircraft carrier is the dream of many servicemen.

Now, the long march has finally taken its first step.

Yang Wenbin knows that aircraft carriers are the world's largest combat weapons, and they concentrate high-tech and modern weapons to form a multi-dimensional spherical offensive and defensive system.

For example, taking the typical two-aircraft carrier battle group of country M as an example, it usually adopts a three-layer firepower system of long, medium, and near.

The first layer is the outer defense area, which is more than 180 to 400 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, and is used for large-depth attack and defense. Eight early warning aircraft, eight electronic warfare aircraft, six reconnaissance aircraft, carrier-based radars, and attack nuclear submarines are responsible for conducting air, surface, and underwater searches, and can use 70 attack aircraft, 50 fighters, 20 anti-submarine aircraft, and more than 400 ship-based long-range cruise missiles to effectively attack land, air, and underwater targets as long as necessary.

The second layer, which is the intermediate defense area, is 45 to 180 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, and is used for the regional attack and defense of the aircraft carrier battle group. With the cooperation of the forces and weapons of the outer defense area, the ship's radar and sonar and more than 40 helicopters are responsible for searching and tracking targets that have broken through the first layer of defense, and at the same time, they can use 350 long-range cruise missiles, 260 anti-ship missiles, and more than 600 anti-aircraft missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes to intercept incoming targets.

The third layer, which is the internal defense area, is within 45 kilometers of the aircraft carrier and is used for the self-defense of the aircraft carrier. It is mainly used to use tactical missiles, torpedoes, rocket artillery and other medium and short-range weapons on the aircraft carrier and other escort ships to intercept incoming targets that have broken through the first and second layers of defense lines.

Aircraft carriers, which act as the guardians of the seas, rely heavily on logistical supplies.

When an aircraft carrier goes to sea, the length of the voyage depends mainly on the organization of supplies and the delivery of various spare parts.

The consumption of aircraft carriers is significant, for example, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Enterprise, which is loaded with nine thousand tons of aviation gasoline, which is only enough for twelve days of continuous combat use.

Conventional aircraft carriers are equipped with about 8,000 tons of marine fuel and about 7,800 tons of aircraft fuel, with an average daily consumption of nearly 400 tons.

An airplane consumes eight to ten tons of fuel per sortie.

An aircraft carrier has an ammunition reserve of 2,000 tons, and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has an ammunition reserve of more than 3,000 tons.

A large number of various reserves need to be replenished quickly, and under the regulation that the flow of combat ships shall not be less than 70% of the full load of fuel, they must be replenished once every four days on average, and the replenishment mode is generally accompanied and rendezvous.

Either way, it usually takes three hours.

An aircraft carrier formation usually consists of an aircraft carrier and a certain number of destroyers, frigates, and one or two submarines.

Aircraft carriers have at least about 600 personnel and more than 6,300 personnel, and all aircraft carriers are equipped with missiles and artillery, but the main attack weapon is carrier-based aircraft.

The size of carrier-based aircraft, depending on the tonnage of the aircraft carrier, is generally equivalent to a division or regiment of the aviation force. On the road, a regiment or even a division generally uses the same type of aircraft, or even the same model.

And on aircraft carriers, combat aircraft and service aircraft are carried at the same time. Their organization and command are very complex.

In the vast blue ocean, aircraft carriers, this sea giant, have an incomparable variety of combat capabilities, can undertake a variety of combat missions, and its main tactics are:

The first is an attack on the other side. Cross-strait operations are attacks on enemy targets on shore by using missiles, aircraft, and other weapons in aircraft carrier formations.

The second is to control the sea and air, and air and sea supremacy operations are combat operations carried out to seize air and sea supremacy; under modern conditions, without aircraft carriers, there can be no talk of sea supremacy.

The third is the water barrier. Surface warfare is the traditional practice of aircraft carrier warfare, and the purpose of surface warfare is to destroy the enemy's surface ships, and the main weapon of combat is carrier-based aircraft.

Fourth, traffic blockade. Blockade warfare is the use of aircraft carrier formations to cut off the enemy's communications and prevent ships from going to sea, and cannot use bases and ports.

Fifth, support the landing. Supporting landing operations refers to using aircraft carrier formations to cover the passage of amphibious combat units and seizing landing areas and sea supremacy.

Sixth, anti-submarine warfare. Anti-submarine warfare is a combat operation that uses aircraft carrier forces and weapons to attack submarines.

When we really have a complete aircraft carrier combat formation, at that time, we will have the strength to solve both the anti-separatism and anti-encroachment issues.
