Li Mingzhang took Qin Yu and Jiang Mingwen around the Fubo freighter, as a freighter, there are not many eye-catching places, the power plant, the cabin, and those ordinary freighters are not much different, but its displacement is second to none among the self-produced ships of the Republic of China.

However, when it turned to the other corner, a much smaller ship firmly attracted the gaze of Qin Yu and the others.

"This, this is a warship!" Jiang Mingwen was shocked and inexplicably authentic.

"That's right, this is the latest destroyer of Yingkou Shipyard's first self-produced." Speaking of this, Li Mingzhang looked proud, this destroyer is the highest embodiment of the current technical strength of the entire Yingkou shipyard. The speed of the military equipment on the ship is several times more difficult than the construction of the Fubo freighter, and even the power plant requirements are more stringent. It can be said that this latest output destroyer is the crystallization of the wisdom of the entire Yingkou shipyard.

"I've seen Yu Shuai!" On the deck of the warship, Ye Hong, who was dressed in military uniform, stood there like a benchmark, and together with the three people behind him, he solemnly and solemnly saluted Qin Yu.

Qin Yu also returned a military salute, and looked at the destroyer with bright eyes.

"Major Ye is more familiar with this warship than me, so let's let Major Ye introduce the specific parameters of this ship to Yu Shuai later." Li Mingzhang smiled and stepped aside.

The new destroyer was much smaller than the Fubo freighter, no more than a hundred meters long, but its awe-inspiring power could be felt from the top of it.

"The ship has not yet been named, and this will be the first self-produced destroyer in the Northeast and even in the entire Republic of China." Ye Hong said with an excited expression, "The four heavy oil boilers of the destroyer are all imported from the United States, and the horsepower of the two main engines is as high as 37,000 horsepower, and the power plant is completely on the same starting line as the latest destroyers of the great powers." Thanks to its high power, the ship's top speed can reach 37.5 knots. It has a displacement of 1,350 tons when fully loaded, a standard displacement of 1,250 tons, a cruising range of 14.5 knots / 3,600 nautical miles, and can carry nearly 400 tons of heavy oil, with a total length of 99.2 meters and a width of 10.1 meters. Draught 2.65 m. ”

"THE MAIN GUNS ARE FOUR 45 TIMES DIAMETER 105 MM NAVAL GUNS, 4 533MM TRIPLE TORPEDO TUBES, 6 7.9MM HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, UP TO 5 25MM MACHINE GUNS, DUE TO THE THREAT OF OFFSHORE AIRCRAFT, THE MACHINE GUNS CAN ALSO BE USED AS ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS, AND THERE ARE ALSO TWO 76MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN DESIGN. In response to the threat of submarines, a dropping slot for 2 depth charges was designed. ”

"Japan's newest destroyer is a Fengkaze-class destroyer, and in terms of speed. The Fengfeng class is also a narrow hull, and the maximum speed of the ship is the best, reaching an astonishing 39 knots, but Japan's power equipment is slightly behind the powers, and the engine part reaches 550 tons, accounting for 41% of the standard displacement of the whole ship, while the ratio of the engines of the latest destroyers in Britain and the United States to the whole ship only accounts for 35% to 37%. Our destroyer ratio is 39%. ”

"THE NAVAL GUN USED IN THE JAPANESE FENGFENG CLASS IS 127MM. THE CALIBER OF NAVAL GUNS IS BY FAR THE LARGEST AMONG DESTROYERS, AND MOST OF THE WESTERN POWERS HAVE 100 TO 105 MM CALIBERS. ”

"Relatively speaking. The first imaginary enemy of our self-produced destroyers is Japan, which is slightly inferior in speed, and the caliber of the ship's guns is inferior to that of the Fengfeng class. However, our definition of a destroyer is to take escort as the core, and at the same time complete reconnaissance, patrol the police area, mine laying and other tasks. As for the attack on shore targets, the requirements are not high for the time being. The warships of the Republic of China were unable to attack the Japanese mainland and its colonies for a long time. Moreover, the target task of attacking the shore will be completed by the light patrol and heavy patrol in the future. ”

"Compared with the Fengfeng class, the 25MM machine gun equipment position we have reserved and equipped makes the air defense force stronger than the Fengfeng class, and in addition, there is one more 533MM torpedo tube than the Fengfeng class in terms of submarine defense, and the ship carries 4 more torpedoes. It's just that Japan is an artillery country. The large-caliber naval guns pursued by the Navy do not attach importance to submarines, so the anti-submarine function of destroyers is considered a bit overkill. ”

Compared with Li Mingzhang, Ye Hong's view of the destroyer is more about its military application, and when he recognized the destruction of this self-built destroyer by the Republic of China, he also unreservedly pointed out its shortcomings when it should not be.

"Generally speaking, which of our destroyers is superior to Japan's Fengfeng class?" QIN YU ASKED LIGHTLY CARESSING THE DAUNTING 105MM NAVAL GUNS ON THE SHIP.

"Each has its own strengths, and on the whole it is comparable, except for the limited space of the destroyer that is slightly wasted in the anti-submarine equipment, and the obvious advantages in the arrangement of air defense. Destroyers are not the main force of operations, but pay attention to their auxiliary functions, and they believe that strengthening air defense is a place where self-built destroyers may not necessarily be able to defeat the Fengfeng class. Ye Hong concluded.

Qin Yu nodded, Ye Hong, a guy who had been in the navy for a while, had a very unique vision. He is very aware of the strengths and drawbacks of Japanese destroyers, but Qin Yu is happy to see the increase in the anti-submarine function, because the northeast will vigorously develop the submarine part later, and once the future war starts, Japan will also pay attention to the research and development of submarines after suffering enough losses in the Republic of China submarines. Whether it was World War I or World War II, submarine warfare in the Navy was always chilling.

"In any case, this destroyer is of epoch-making significance for the Republic of China. We are no longer satisfied with buying ready-made ships from the great powers, and the standard of warships built by ourselves has begun to be on par with them, and based on self-construction, it is the only way out for the navy, land and air forces of the Republic of China. Qin Yu smiled heartily.

Jiang Mingwen nodded, the longer he came to the Yingkou Shipyard, the more he was shocked, and since the end of the Qing Dynasty, when he built the Beiyang and Nanyang naval divisions, he purchased a large number of advanced warships from the West, even if it was a gunboat of four or five hundred tons, he had to buy it from Germany. Even now, except for the entire Guannai in the northeast, it is impossible to build an advanced gunboat, let alone this latest destroyer. Even if the 25MM machine guns, torpedo tubes, torpedoes, and heavy oil boilers on this ship are all imported from abroad, it can be regarded as a precedent in the history of the Republic of China to be able to piece these things together and build a destroyer that can only compete with the great powers.

Jiang Mingwen has always believed in oceanism, determined to build a ship in the Republic of China that can be compared with the great powers, but he did not expect that the Northeast has taken such a solid first step, even if the future is still long, Jiang Mingwen still feels that things are man-made, it has only been a few years, the Northeast has made such great achievements, why can't it catch up with the great powers and create a strong navy?

"Yu Shuai, this new type of destroyer has not yet been named, as a new warship that will defend the thousands of miles of sea areas of the Republic of China in the future, please also ask Yu Shuai to give it a name." Li Mingzhang said solemnly.

"Please give Yu Shuai a name!" Ye Hong and the others stood solemnly in a solemn posture, with solemn expressions.

"The 5,000-year-old history of China has been up and down until the end of the Qing Dynasty. This new type of destroyer symbolizes the re-elevation of the Republic of China in the sea of thousands of miles, so it is named Longteng. "Qin Yu has no culture, but he can also feel everyone's high hopes for the navy, towering China, and the dragon soaring in the sea! (To be continued......)
