Artificially at the end of the blade, or at the beginning of the year. That is, not long after Lin Xiaolei became the chief of staff, Hua Jianfeng, then chief of staff of the Navy, made a far-reaching discussion on the direction of naval exhibition within the navy in accordance with Lin Xiaolei's instructions, which had a significant impact on the construction of the navy. Because it was an open discussion, it lasted for several months. During this period, including the "Chongqing" class aircraft carrier, "Kunlun. The tactical indicators of a large number of main combat ships, including large cruisers and "Qinghai Lake" class integrated destroyers, have been basically determined, and they have been designed and built one after another.

In this discussion, the biggest controversy is not the aircraft carrier vs. submarine dispute, but the cruiser vs. destroyer.

To put it bluntly, it is the battle for the future combat objects of the Republic Navy. The new address of this site has been changed to: Gangkou Yang... ８。 Please log in to the valve!

As everyone knows, when dealing with relatively weak opponents, destroyers surpass cruisers in terms of combat use and combat efficiency, and are large warships with the highest attendance and readiness rate among many ships in the Navy except aircraft carriers, and in some respects even surpass aircraft carriers. In many low-intensity combat operations, destroyers even have an irreplaceable role. For example, in the year of injury, the Otter thugs mainly assisted the special forces in encircling and suppressing the Somali anti-government army, as well as providing long-range artillery support for the Somali government army. In such missions, cruisers are not only inefficient, but also too ostentatious, and it is easy to startle snakes. As a result, the relatively small destroyer became the main battle ship, wielding a vital role in the battle?

Actual combat has proven many times that destroyers are veritable "all-rounders at sea".

With limited military spending, destroyers can be used as the main large warships to build more warships and perform more missions. If cruisers are the main large warships, it is difficult to guarantee the size of the fleet. It is precisely for this reason that many generals of the navy of the republic believe that the focus should be on the construction of destroyers, and in order to reduce the cost of building destroyers, it is also necessary to design a separate destroyer suited to the national conditions of the republic and the operational needs of the navy.

The question is, will the republic be the main target of small and medium-sized countries for a long time?

You know, at the end of the blade era, a full-scale war between the Republic and the United States was approaching, especially after the Second Anglo-Argentine War, and almost everyone believed that the all-out war between the Republic and the United States, that is, the so-called "Third World War". It's inevitable. Against this background, the Navy of the Republic has absolutely reason to build more cruisers, because in the event of a war with an adversary like the United States, cruisers are far more effective than destroyers, and in some special cases, no amount of destroyers can replace them. What's more, the service cycle of warships is between the year of force and the year of force, and most of the large warships are around the year of blade. The new warships were designed at the end of the Blade Age, and construction began at the end of the Blade Age, at least until the end of the Blade Age, and no one thought that the all-out war between the Republic and the United States would drag on until after the Correspondence Age. In other words, this batch of warships will become the main combat ships of the Republic Navy in the world war, at least at the beginning of the world war. Although with the strength of the Republic, it is certain that more and more advanced warships can be built during the World War, but when fighting an adversary like the United States, if it cannot gain the upper hand and seize the initiative in the early stage of the crucial war, not only will the probability of victory of the Republic's Navy be reduced, but it will also have a negative impact on the Republic's war strategy.

All in all. There were quite a few people in the Navy of the Republic who wanted to use cruisers as the main large warships.

Of course, no matter how well the discussion goes, when it comes to practical action, that is, when designing and building, you have to face a pound. The problem, that's funding.

Exactly, after this discussion. Only the design work on the cruiser was finalized.

Although Lin Xiaolei approved the construction plan at the beginning of the design, due to the influence of the early discussions, the main work of the Republic Navy before the force year was to determine the tactical indicators for the new generation of destroyers, and the first task at that time was to decide on the basic platform of the destroyer. That is, whether to adopt the hull of the cruiser, or to redesign the hull in order to reduce the cost of construction.

It can be said that this is a very critical question.

It was also at this time that Pei Chengyi, who served as Minister of National Defense, began to take over the control of military spending in an orderly manner, and took this opportunity to meddle in the army's equipment work.

Although there is a lot of evidence to prove that Pei Chengyi definitely did not look at the navy differently, it is impossible for him to deduct the navy's "salary" because of his personal relationship with Lin Xiaolei. "Otherwise, Lin Xiaolei would definitely not hand over the control of military spending to him, but there is a lot of evidence that Pei Chengyi participated in the Navy's large-scale warship exhibition and played a key role." The fact that the "Qinghai Lake" class destroyer was able to be determined, and finally adopted the "Kunlun" class hull, instead of being redesigned, has a lot to do with something Pei Chengyi did at that time. If it is redesigned, the construction of the "Qinghai Lake" class destroyers will start at least three years later than that of the "Kunlun" class, and it will be impossible for them to form combat effectiveness in the field year.

What Pei Chengyi did at that time was also very simple, that is, the Military Intelligence Bureau contacted the independent accounting office of the thug's family to review the two design schemes, and finally came to the conclusion that in the case of the construction of the crashed ships in batches, because of the need for flat design costs, the construction of the redesigned hull was adopted "six", "The taste of the Kunlun-class hull saves about Fei Fan, but the combat capability of the deleted ship will be reduced by at least 2 pes."

With this catty. As a result, what to do is simple. The new address of this site has been changed to: Gangkou Yang... ８。 Lion, please land the valve messenger!

It can be said that it was this audit work that gave the equipment plan of the republican ** team "economic factors" In a sense, it was this audit work that allowed Pei Chengyi to show a "civilian official." and has been highly valued by Vice Minister of State Yan Jingyu, laying the foundation for serving as Vice Prime Minister of Security three years later.

The "Qinghai Lake" class destroyer was also officially approved at this time.

In fact, this is also the "cruiser faction." Mutual compromise with the "destroyer faction".

Although by reducing the number of naval guns, the ammunition carrying capacity of the ammunition depot, the ability to support aviation operations is no longer required, and other combat modules that are available only on cruisers, the standard displacement of the "Qinghai Lake" class has changed from "Kunlun. One of the key factors is to reduce the number of electromagnetic guns from 6 to 3, which alone reduces the procurement cost to make it suitable for large-scale construction.

Because the same hull is used, because there is only one gun group left, and the length of the "Qinghai Lake" class is about a blade meter shorter than that of the "Kunlun" class, so the hull is not exactly the same, and it has a large space for expansion. The actual combat effectiveness of the class is about the corner of the "Kunlun" class. In some respects even reached the "Kunlun." level of loach, and even some combat capabilities have passed the "Kunlun" level? For example, by reducing the number of naval guns, under the condition that the output power of the power system has not been reduced, the "Qinghai Lake" class can be equipped with six sets of energy interception systems, which is limited by cost, and the ugly ships built in the first batch are only equipped with covers, leaving only another space for installation, or according to operational needs, according to the rigid way to equip the "long-range energy interception system" that is being opened to expand the interception capability of warships. "Kunlun. Due to the power output of the power system, none of the first batch of thugs built could support the "remote energy interception system" until the second batch adopted a more powerful controlled fusion reactor. It has this vital combat capability.

In general, in addition to the fact that the cost is a little higher, the "Qinghai Lake" class is a very successful destroyer?

As a destroyer, the main thing is integrated combat capabilities?

With "Qinghai Lake." The words of Hua Jianfeng, commander of the Navy of the Republic of China, were designed and built. Destroyers can fight against a wide range of targets, from pirate speedboats to U.S. aircraft carriers, and can handle both fighter planes and missiles in the sky and submarines and torpedoes under the sea, and can perform a variety of tasks in a variety of situations.

In terms of combat capability, the "Qinghai Lake" class is indeed a warship with very comprehensive capabilities.

Needless to say, the three spiral electromagnetic guns and the powerful long-range cruise missiles, as well as the three carrier-based vertical take-off and landing planes that can be dispatched when necessary, constitute a near, medium, and long-range strike capability, which can effectively deal with ground targets within a radius of 10,000 kilometers. Needless to say, air defense capabilities, as a miniature version of the "Kunlun" class, "Qinghai Lake." Except for the reduction of the number of regional air defense missiles to one, there is not much difference in other aspects, and if it can be equipped with a "long-range energy interception system," the air defense combat capability will definitely not be below the "Kunlun" class. Not to mention anti-submarine warfare, since this is already the strong point of destroyers. With the Republican Navy no longer equipping aircraft carrier battle groups with ocean-going frigates, destroyers became the most important anti-submarine warfare ships in the fleet. Because cruisers rarely perform anti-submarine missions. And the number of cruisers in an aircraft carrier battle group is only a third of that of destroyers, so destroyers are basically the only anti-submarine force in an aircraft carrier battle group. The "Qinghai Lake" class has a hangar that can accommodate three vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and can also moored two on the flight deck if necessary, so it can dispatch home anti-submarine patrol aircraft, plus rocket-boosted torpedoes and electric anti-submarine torpedoes on the warship, forming a three-layer anti-submarine fire blockade line in the far, middle and near distances, which can provide the most thoughtful protection for the aircraft carrier.

Among the various combat capabilities of the "Qinghai Lake" class, what really deserves attention is its combat capability against the sea.

Although this large warship with a full load displacement of more than a tonnage has a total of strong vertical firing tubes, which can carry an equal number of missiles, and therefore has the ability to carry anti-ship missiles. More importantly, most of the republic's long-range cruise missiles have matching anti-ship models. But there is a very noticeable difference between the "Qinghai Lake" class and any previous type of destroyer, that is, there is no specialized anti-ship missile launch device. That is, as a rule, there are no specialized anti-ship missiles of the "Qinghai Lake" class, and their main means of sea dominance is not anti-ship missiles?

This is a very bold design, without a doubt.

You must know that even on the "Kunlun" class cruisers, a special anti-ship missile storage and firing module is set up at the rear of the flight deck, that is, in front of the tail ship gun group, which can simultaneously fire anti-ship missiles at the two cruisers in the fighter carrier battle group in one attack to form a saturation attack. Because of taking

The tail structure of the second naval gun group and the Fengqi body has also been changed, and there is no separate anti-ship missile storage and firing module for the "Sihu" class.

There is no doubt that this design is very "bold".

At the beginning of the four, the Navy of the Republic of China was applying for "Qinghai Lake." At the time of the construction of the warship, the thugs submitted to the Military Committee of the General Assembly a detailed list of the armament of the warship, which was necessary, because different configurations would lead to significant differences in the cost of construction, among which there would be no anti-ship missile storage and launch modules. Because the equipment procurement report submitted to the Military Committee of the Plenum could not be kept confidential, the Western news media at that time generally believed that "Qinghai Lake." It is only a destroyer of this class, and it is a highly modular warship, and the Navy of the Republic can purchase anti-ship missile storage and firing modules when building follow-up warships according to actual needs, so as to make "Qinghai Lake." It has perfect naval combat capabilities. Although this guess is not wrong, the standard displacement of the second batch of "Qinghai Lake" class destroyers has been increased to catties, and the combat module, including the anti-ship missile storage and launch module, is not equipped with the anti-ship missile storage and launch module with the first batch, and less than one-third of the second batch is equipped with the anti-ship missile storage and launch module, and it is not equipped with heavy anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 4,000 meters and equipped with a large-yield warhead, but a range of only 1,000 kilometers and equipped with an ordinary warhead. Light anti-ship missiles that can only be used against non-combat ships. From the point of view of use, these light anti-ship missiles can only be used in low-intensity battles, and basically do not have the ability to dominate the sea. That is, "Qinghai Lake." The destroyers did not actually use anti-ship missiles as their main weapon for sea dominance.

Although many people believe that anti-ship missiles should not be phased out so early, after all, other sea-dominating weapons, such as the highly-anticipated spiral electromagnetic gun, have not been tested in actual combat, and no one can say for sure what their combat effectiveness will be, but from the "Qinghai Lake." The ship is not equipped with heavy anti-ship missiles, and this cutting-edge weapon, which was born after the Second World War and has been on the battlefield for decades, has finally come to an end?

No matter what the Western news media say. The actions of the US Navy are enough to prove that "Qinghai Lake." The sea-supremacy of the destroyers is relatively effective, because neither the new cruisers nor destroyers of the US Navy are equipped with anti-ship missiles.

After all, in a fleet with aircraft carriers as the core, carrier-based aviation units are able to project anti-ship missiles with a higher efficiency, and it is very difficult for warships to get close to the enemy's fleet, so it is unlikely that they will have the opportunity to use anti-ship missiles. After all, in order to reduce the cost of construction, the "Qinghai Lake" class destroyers have simplified their communications and intelligence systems, and do not have the ability to command the fleet, while the cruisers that replace the aircraft carriers as the core force of the fleet have a certain number of anti-ship missiles on board, which can deal with sea surface targets on the plane.

The reduction of anti-ship missiles has also played a role in reducing the cost of construction.

Anyway, "Qinghai Lake is small." There is a lack of a large warship that needs to be mass-produced. At the time of design, the number of ships built by the Jige thug was as large as Hong, and if the cost could not be effectively controlled, the construction would definitely be affected. You must know that even if the cost is controlled at about the "Kunlun" class, the "Qinghai Lake" class destroyer is still questioned by some representatives, because its unit price is twice that of the previous class destroyer, and the average cost is as high as 100 million yuan, according to the exchange rate of the year, about the same as the US dollar or even more than similar warships of the US Navy.

Corresponding to the cost is a huge potential for improvement.

You must know that the commonality rate of the "Qinghai Lake" class and the "Kunlun" class hull is as high as paste, and the modular design method is fully adopted. In other words, as long as there is a need, the "Qinghaihu" class destroyers can be transformed into "Kunlun" class cruisers in a relatively short period of time and by a relatively simple method. Because the significance of cruisers in large-scale wars is obviously greater than that of destroyers, and the difficulty of building destroyers and the early period of construction are shorter than those of cruisers, the Navy of the Republic can take advantage of this to obtain more cruisers without seriously affecting the combat effectiveness of the fleet. Although from the reality of the situation, even in the event of a large-scale war, the Republic Navy will first consider building more "Kunlun". class cruisers, instead of renovating "Qinghai Lake." class destroyer, after all, the benefit of doing so is not high, but for the United States, this possibility must be highly valued? It is important to know that, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the London Treaty, two years before the start of the third round of reductions. At the end of the year, all the signatories will conduct a final review of the treaty's provisions on conventional military forces to ensure that the world situation will not be thrown out of balance after the complete elimination of nuclear weapons. As a result, the U.S. authorities are likely to demand reductions in the expansion of the Republic's navy in the next year, and the first thing to consider is the "Qinghai Lake"-class destroyers.

It is precisely in this way that the "Qinghai Lake" class destroyer has become a kind of warship that makes the US authorities "sit on their backs."

Of course, it is definitely not surface warships that really upset the American authorities, but the traditional superior forces of the Navy of the Republic.
