Andrei was extremely excited, and after his own push, finally, the pace of the Soviet Navy was advanced by ten years! On my last visit, in the test site on land, I saw a catapult being tested, this thing, the Americans covered it very tightly in later generations, as if the catapult was a high-tech equipment, and now, with the wisdom of Soviet engineers and the industrial level of the Soviets, it is not difficult to build a catapult!

It's just that the bridge of the aircraft carrier is a bit big, right? At this time, the bridge is still being welded on the shore, just looking at the volume of the bridge, it is almost like a light destroyer, this wide bridge, occupies valuable deck space, so that the position of the parking area on the deck is reduced, it seems, there is still room for improvement!

"Well, is it a four-sided phased array radar?" Andrei looked at the reserved spot on the bridge and asked Gorshkov. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, we developed the Sky Sentinel Radar." Gorshkov said: "Now it is ripe and ready to be installed on this Soviet-class aircraft carrier." ”

Sky Sentinels! In later generations, it was generally believed that this radar was not mature, or because of the poor level of electronic technology in the USSR, and now, this shortcoming has been compensated!

Hearing this, Andrei turned his mind around, and then said: "Comrade Marshal, then, on the basis of the Sky Sentinel phased array radar, we combine it with our anti-aircraft missiles to form the Western Aegis system, what do you think?" It is possible to use the hulls of our Dreadnoughts class for retrofitting, and our aircraft carrier formations, which need specialized air defense destroyers, are escorted with Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruisers, which is too wasteful. ”

Professional air defense destroyer! This is also a must-have for aircraft carrier formations! Last time in the Arabian Sea, almost all the advanced warships of the Soviets were gathered, but the Kirov-class cruiser was too valuable, and it was a bit wasteful to use it as a nanny for an aircraft carrier.

Hearing Andrei's words, Gorshkov nodded: "Comrade Andrei, your proposal is quite correct, and now we are arguing about the possibility of such a plan." It is to use the dreadnought-class hull to install the SAM-17 medium-range anti-aircraft missile and the SAM-9 short-range anti-aircraft missile. ”

At present, the newly built destroyers of the Soviet Union are mainly the modern class and the dreadnought class, and the modern class uses backward boiler power, while the dreadnought class uses the latest gas turbine power, so in comparison, the use of the dreadnought class hull modification is the most appropriate.

Using the scanning capabilities of the Sky Sentinel's four-sided phased array radar to guide the SAM-11 and SAM-9 missiles, making this warship a full-fledged air defense destroyer, this plan was also recorded in later generations, that is, the modified warship of the Dreadnought 3.

Originally, the Dreadnought class was an anti-submarine ship, and the Dreadnought 3 was almost a complete overhaul, with 16 units of "Jewel" anti-ship missile vertical launchers modified on both sides of the bridge on both sides, and SS-N-15 supersonic anti-submarine missiles were used in the two pentapostle torpedo tubes on both sides of the rear of the ship; 1 single-barreled 130mm gun was replaced with 2 AK100 guns; The original No. 2 gun position was moved to the position of the 48-unit "Shikili" medium-range anti-aircraft vertical launch system; The 64-cell "SA-N-9" short-range anti-aircraft vertical launch system, located in the bow of the ship, was also retained. In this way, 48 SA-N-17, 64 SA-N-9, such specialized air defense destroyers, are enough to become a nanny for aircraft carriers!

Andrei nodded, the construction of the navy is very important, because the strategy of the Soviets has determined that there will be more collisions with the United States at sea in the future!

"Which fleet will this aircraft carrier equip with?" Andrei asked.

There are two aircraft carriers in the Pacific Fleet, and the Northern Fleet is about to have one, and which fleet will this new aircraft carrier be assigned to? This is what Andrei is more curious about.

Looking at Andrey, Ustinov said: "Now the military is still discussing, but it is very likely that this warship will be assigned to the newly formed Indian Ocean Fleet." ”

Indian Ocean Fleet! Historically, the USSR simply did not have such a fleet, because the USSR did not have access to the Indian Ocean! But now it's different! With the opening of the Indian Ocean, the ports of Bandar Abbas and Chakhbakar have become Soviet-controlled ports, and correspondingly, the Soviet top brass is already planning to form a new Indian Ocean fleet!

With this as its base camp, the most important task of the newly formed Indian Ocean Fleet is to control the Indian Ocean! In this way, the oil passage at sea was all under the control of the Soviets! Some of the ships of the Pacific Fleet and other fleets that are now being transferred will remain and form the new Indian Ocean Fleet!

And those two Kiev-class aircraft carriers need to return to the base of the Pacific Fleet, after all, the threat to the Pacific Ocean in the east is also very great. And the addition of this new aircraft carrier is enough to make the Indian Ocean Fleet the most powerful military force in the Indian Ocean!

Andrei was extremely surprised in his heart, which is equivalent to saying that this warship was prepared for him, because, the Indian Ocean Fleet is subordinate to Andrei's Turkestan Military District!

"Actually, another reason for this is that we can't solve the problem of steam leaking from the steam catapult freezing on the deck now, so if it is deployed to other fleets, it may not be able to operate in winter." Gorshkov said.

In history, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Ulyanovsk" did not fully use steam catapults, and two were arranged on the beveled deck, but the bow in front of the ship was still the leaping deck, which was considered that in the Northern Fleet or the Pacific Fleet, the winter was cold, and once the steam froze on the deck, the consequences were simply fatal.

Andrei was stunned for a moment, it turned out that there was still this consideration! So, will the warships in the future be changed back to the bow to use leaping?

"After this warship is built, we will also test it in cold areas to observe the degree of icing, and if it can be solved, the follow-up warships will use the same method, if it can't be solved, maybe there will be changes." As if guessing what Andrei was thinking, Gorshkov said: "Also, another change is that we plan to build two Soviet-class ones, and the next one may be a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier." ”

Nuclear power! Conventional power aircraft carriers need to be replenished every few days, and in the replenishment stage, when the aircraft carrier is most vulnerable, nuclear power can avoid the replenishment of fuel and reduce the time.

This visit to the Black Sea Shipyard brought Andrei endless emotion, and just when Andrei was going to continue to admire the aircraft carrier under construction, an adjutant hurriedly came to everyone's side.

"Comrade Marshal, Comrade General, urgent telegram from Moscow, please return to Moscow immediately." (To be continued.) )
