Chapter 51: The generation gap is huge

[51] The generation gap is huge

In terms of radar, the Congqing light cruiser is equipped with a Type 271 sea search radar, and the detection range is about 15-40 kilometers depending on the sea conditions (in fact, 15 kilometers can find any target, thank God, and what is found 15 kilometers away must be about the size of a box Hong Kong Island...... ); The 281 anti-aircraft search radar, which claims to be able to detect 200 kilometers, has actually been ...... to any reaction when planes have passed overhead countless times; The Type 284 main gun fire control radar claims to have a range of 16 kilometers, and the Type 282 secondary artillery fire control radar has a range of less than 6 kilometers. As mentioned earlier, these fire control radars are basically decorations, and asking the artillery commander to fire the artillery according to the direction and distance of this prompt is equivalent to wasting artillery shells. This thing is also a reference for the gunner, so that the gunner can try his luck with the cannon in the case of poor visual conditions. The visibility of the sea surface is generally not more than 20 kilometers, and from time to time it rains, fogs and waves, and the maximum range of artillery is often a decoration or a means of luck.

There is also a fatal place, due to the corrosiveness of the sea fog and the root nature of electronic equipment in the 40s, the shipborne radar of those years often had symptoms similar to cerebral thrombosis, and the design theory would break down once every 10-30 hours on average, but in reality, the situation is ridiculous. Even a fraction of this theoretical design data can't be reached, Nima is an uncle who has to have convulsions every time he turns on the machine for 1-3 hours! Basically, warships of various countries do not dare to turn on the radar all the time, but just start and stop, let these masters rest and maintain, and turn on the radar once a few days or even once a week just to check whether the radar is broken, such a situation is commonplace. Have you heard of a captain in World War II who said what he achieved with radar?

Some YY military texts describe the warships equipped with radar in World War II as extremely brave...... I'll you...... You just found the opponent, according to what you wrote, the maximum range of the cannon will be fired in the second round, and I will go to your ...... As I mentioned in the previous chapter, the naval guns of those years were completely devoid of the modern concept of radar linkage, basic optical aiming plus manual control, and the dispersion rate of shells in those years...... The pop-up point is a little thinner, and an 80CM*40CM A1 chart is not enough! You have a maximum range of ten rounds, and it is very good to have a few close misses.

The destroyer, which is equipped with four sets of radars, such as the fine-net-to-sea sea-to-air general search radar, the eyeshield 354 specialized anti-air search radar, the Wasp head 343 fire control radar, and the Fangjie 352 missile fire control radar, has an effective detection distance of about 350-450 kilometers for the sea and at low altitudes, and the detection distance for high altitude is even farther.

The radar jammer on board the brigade-level West Twist was a thing against the sky in 1949, and as soon as this guy turned it on, the radar in the 50s became blind, and the radar echo was seriously interfered with, and the 360-degree screen was full of snowflakes. In addition, the West Twist of the Brigade 1 type was designed with the stealth problem in mind, and after another modification, it can reduce the radar reflection to a certain extent, although the reduction is not much, but it is much stronger than the World War II warships that have no stealth concept at all. Therefore, the West Twist has the right of priority to discover and strike any warship on board in 1949, and with these two rights in naval warfare, what more do you want? In the case of stealth, over-the-horizon attacks, the enemy does not even see where the opponent is, and he will die unjustly.

Once the fine-mesh radar found the target, the West Twist touched it to enter the fire control range of the Fangjie 352 missile radar, and the two triple Seahawk-2 anti-ship missiles with a maximum range of 100 kilometers on the West Twist were not vegetarian. Under the guidance of the Fangjie 352 fire control radar, the target capture probability of the Haiying-2 after launch is as high as 98%, and at the end of the flight, the missile's own guidance radar begins to work, and the missile will drop to an altitude of 8 meters to skim the sea to attack the target, and the self-guided hit rate of the target is as high as 90%. For all warships that have no stealth ability in this era, the Seahawk-2, which is almost impossible to detect by radars in this era at low altitude and high speed (level flight altitude of 20 meters, the altitude at the end of flight is automatically adjusted to 9 meters, and the speed is Mach 0.9), is a super killer. As for the strength of destruction...... The West gave the Sea Hawk the code name "Silkworm" missile...... This body type...... How frustrating is the charge of the turtle...... You know......

As for melee and anti-aircraft weapons, Congqing is equipped with 2 40.5mm quadruple "Bangbang" guns, with a rate of fire of 115 rounds per minute and an effective firing range of only 1100 meters.

The West Twist is equipped with 4 Type 61 37mm double-barreled naval guns, with a rate of fire of 320-360 rounds per minute, which can fire in all directions of 360 degrees, with a maximum range of 8,500 meters, and the high and low firing range from minus 10 degrees to almost vertical 85 degrees.

The other four Type 61 25-mm double-barreled naval guns had an effective firing range of 2,800 meters, and the rate of fire reached 800-900 rounds per minute, which was unattainable in this era.

The combination of Type 61 37mm and 25mm naval guns has a very strong air defense capability.

The Congqing is also equipped with two sets of triple 533mm torpedo tubes, in addition to two sets of depth charge launchers and two sets of minesweepers. In 1941, 3 20mm twin-mounted Olgen anti-aircraft guns and 2 20mm single-barreled Oligen anti-aircraft guns were also installed.

After a brief comparison of the two warships, it can be seen that in addition to the lack of missiles, Congqing is still a warship with outstanding firepower in this era, the British Empire is not a good thing, the Alola was once damaged by a mine, the keel was seriously distorted, and it was retired from active service after World War II, and was sealed at the Portsmouth Naval Base, Zuihou was hastily repaired to China and renamed Congqing.

From 1914 to 1923, he studied at the Whampoa Naval School, the Wusong Naval School, the Yanjia Naval School and the Nandu Torpedo Gun School, before being sent to the Royal Naval College Greenwich in England in 1930 and then at the British Torpedo Navigation Signal Gun School.

Deng Zhaoxiang and Lin Zun and others joined in, for the construction of the new China's navy is indispensable, although Cong Qing Zuihou was seriously injured by the old Chiang faction B-24 bomber, zuihou opened the sea valve and sank, but the officers and men on the ship except for 6 people sacrificed, the others were retained. The nearly 600 officers and men who served on the Congqing were all returned with the ship in August 1948 after two years of training in Britain before the early winter of 1946 with the intention of building a strong Chinese navy, which was enough to fill the 280 personnel of the Xijiao.

Judging from the firepower of the Congqing, it will not take a lot of time for these crews to adapt to mastering the West Twist and forming combat effectiveness. Half a year at most.

After some off-topic, back to Xiaoqiang's side, he began to introduce the three pillars of the navy to the West Twist, the three present are all experts, this introduction is an analysis, which is better and which is inferior, but the three people can be scratched their ears and cheeks, and they are almost crazy with excitement. After listening to Xiaoqiang's tirade about the West-Twisting Ship, Deng Zhaoxiang and Lin Zun immediately made up their minds that Deng Zhaoxiang didn't want to be the principal of the Anton Naval School, and Lin Zun didn't want to be the deputy commander of the East China Military Region Navy.

As soon as the West Twist ship landed, without waiting for the boarding ladder to be stable, the three veterans rushed up, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, Xiaoqiang saw that there was no way, so hurry up and follow. The three of them like to see here, and they like to see where they like, and they are reluctant to get off the boat.

There are too many things to see inside the West Twist, so I said that the various instruments and microcomputers in the bridge dazzled the three of them, and asked Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang didn't understand, so he directly took the three of them to the captain's room to get information and let them study it themselves.

"High-tech, really high-tech, I've never seen such a haode battleship in my life, according to what Xiaoqiang said, this ship is simply a battleship and not replaced!" General Deng was very excited.

"We must seize the time, master the operation as soon as possible, and form combat effectiveness; first of all, we must understand the operation of the anti-aircraft artillery, and there must be people on duty 24 hours a day. The Air Force has already transferred a Jian-5 Brigade to Beidu Airport to be responsible for the air defense of Tianjin Port. Commander Xiao said excitedly.

Lin Zun couldn't hear what others were saying at all, and buried his head in the pile of data desperately loading the operation manual, command manual, and parameter table into his head.
