Chapter 43 043 Allied Destroyers

Although before the opening of the combat laboratory, Qi Yiming did not master all the manufacturing techniques of later naval ships, such as the benchmark flat-panel high-power shipborne active phased array radar, he could not build it now, which means that he is not capable of building the main destroyer of the level of China Aegis.

Not only could the Chinese Aegis not be built, but the Red Alert version of the Aegis cruiser that could be deployed before the completion of the combat laboratory in the game could not be built. It seems that at the level of Lv1, the Aegis system is limited, and it is necessary to continue to level up to be able to obtain these more powerful combat units.

There are also many types of science and technology that are also restricted, such as the Allies' Prism Technique in the 2nd generation, the Soviet Army's Tesla coil, and in the third generation with a stronger sense of science fiction, most of the techniques have not been opened to Qi Yiming, and Qi Yiming felt very fortunate to be able to get the sickle mecha before.

After careful discussion, the Navy decided to slow it down for the first time, because compared to the PLA Air Force in this era, which still has a bureaucratic atmosphere and often makes a mess of things, the Navy is relatively more pragmatic. In fact, the development of the PLA Navy witnessed by Qi Yiming in later generations can be called a miracle if you think about it carefully.

It is undeniable that even thirty years later, the PLA Navy has certain shortcomings, but its entire development model is still very commendable. The development of naval equipment is actually four words: "small steps and fast running". Because the navy of the Republic owes too many debts in terms of technology, and the goal of maritime security guaranteed by the navy is too arduous for the state, for a long time, the navy has built two ships to see what new techniques are verified, and then move them to the next level of ships to try some new technologies.

As a result, military fans saw the Navy's extremely complex various ship classes. Taking destroyers as an example, 051 has several major modifications, including D, DT, Z, etc., and it is also modernized while in service, 109 ships are modified with Sidewinder missiles, and then YJ-83, and 134 ships are equipped with data link systems. The 051B and 052 are basically products of the same era, verifying a series of new technologies such as the Haihongqi-7, Western avionics equipment, and large-tonnage new hull design. Later, he introduced Maozi's modern class and began to ponder and learn a number of Russian-made equipment such as Shikili and roof three-coordinate radar. On the basis of 052 and the modern class, the rabbit family digested and absorbed the 052B, and later I don't know which one of the heartless gave this ship a nickname called "China Hyundai", and the whole two car brands were stacked together.

After the completion of the 052B, the Navy already had a preliminary understanding of regional air defense, and then began to engage in Aegis ships. The cautious navy rabbit is afraid of problems, and one of the more rapid ship types is 052C, that is, the first generation of the Chinese Aegis, but this ship uses a lot of new technology, such as a revolver cylinder vertical launch system, YJ-62 anti-ship missiles, and four-sided active phased array radars, not including various soft and hard facilities inside. So for insurance, the Navy Rabbit stuffed a complete set of Russian-style S-300F Reeve air defense missiles, plus Russian-made Tombstone single-sided rotating active phased array radar, into the hull of 051B, and made 051C.

After four or five years of verification, the 052C finally decided that there were not too many problems, so the PLA Navy Rabbit finally shifted its efforts to their target ship, the 052D. The use of 64 universal vertical launch systems, which are commonly known as chocolate or wine bottle boxes, can not only launch anti-aircraft missiles, but also anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles and other different types of bombs, multi-mission greatly enhanced. The most prominent is its four-sided flat-panel active phased array radar, which has significantly improved its power compared with the previous generation of 052C, and its maintainability and reliability have also been greatly improved. In addition, the ship also uses a new generation of domestic gas turbines, alleviating the heart disease problems that also plague the navy.

Looking back from here, from the beginning of the construction of 052 to the beginning of the Chinese Navy's hard work and small steps, the Navy Rabbit has developed 6 ship classes on the destroyer type, which lasted more than 20 years, and finally developed the target ship it needs. This kind of astonishing planning and foresight, and the soundness and security that have not caused any major problems, can be completely put into the teaching materials of the development of the navies of various countries to guide other countries in their independent progress.

Qi Yiming returned to the present, the last two 165 and 166 of the old brigade 051 have not yet started construction, and it is these 13 Type 051 that the PLA Navy supports (there is also a 164 ship still on the slipway, and the 160 ship sank in the accident in 1978). Qi Yiming still has a lot of technical materials in his hands, which is enough to make the Navy Rabbit develop to a relatively high level now.

However, he still started with the relatively conservative development of the three-level main battle surface ships of the Destroyer, Escort, and Light Escort, and the underwater fleet was supplemented by a sufficient number of diesel-electric submarines. In addition, the landing ship also needs to be developed partially, but it can not be so urgent, and other warships can be put aside for the time being.

Originally, the main battle surface ships he prepared for the navy only had the options of 054A and 056, but Liu Huaqing brought back the relevant information to some high-level naval officials, and everyone said that the navy of a big country could not do without destroyers, and either build a larger destroyer, or adjust 054A to a destroyer.

Qi Yiming never imagined that someone would be entangled in the question of a name, in the eyes of the current Navy Rabbit, the tonnage of 054A is a little larger than the 051 known as the destroyer, and it is quite aggrieved to call the frigate, it is better to upgrade it directly to a destroyer. Qi Yiming resolutely opposes this kind of behavior that destroys the original order, and even believes that it is a matter of name, and that small Japan's 27,000-ton amphibious assault ships can be called frigates, and there is no need to worry about tonnage and ship types.

In order to satisfy the Navy's thirst for destroyers, Qi Yiming took out the Allied destroyers in Red Alert 2. The game ships that can be built in the Lv1 base are quite limited, and the control of biotechnology is limited, which means that dolphins and octopuses can't get it; Carrying an anti-aircraft gun, although the speed of the sea scorpion is considerable, although it has the ability of automatic target hunting and tracking artillery after the elite level, but the defense area is too small, when the base defense boat is almost the same, it is too small to dismantle the artillery as a coast guard ship. In addition, there are two levels of nuclear submarines from the Soviet Army, the attack nuclear submarine Akula-class (Red Alert 3) and the strategic nuclear submarine Typhoon class (Red Alert 2).

An additional explanation needs to be made here, in reality, this group of NATO people in the world eats people and does not do anything. The Soviet strategic nuclear submarine Type 941 was codenamed Akula, which means shark, and as a result, NATO patted her on the head and named her Typhoon-class. The Soviet strategic nuclear submarine Type 971, codenamed Pike, was given the name of Akula to this type of ship by NATO.

However, the submarines of the two generations of Soviet forces in the game are actually attack nuclear submarines, but when they came to Qi Yiming, they regained their respective identities, with Typhoon as a strategic nuclear submarine and Akula as an attack nuclear submarine. It's just that although Akula, who is the combat unit of Red Alert 3, has retained, she has lost her most powerful weapon, the supercavitating torpedo, and instead equipped herself with 8 vertical hairs, which can launch cruise missiles.

These two big guys have a displacement of 20,000 tons and a displacement of 10,000 tons, although they are both smaller than the prototype, but they are not attractive to Qi Yiming, who has no idea of building such a large warship at this stage. In Qi Yiming's thoughts, it is a safer model to directly stuff it with a serial number of 096 and 095 and hand it over to the navy after three to four years. As for what is not 093 and 094, this is because with the help of Qi Yiming's engineers from Bohai Heavy Industry, the development of these two types of submarines has been accelerated. Qi Yiming believes that it will be more convenient for them to accumulate experience and cultivate their abilities by letting them understand this generation first and then transfer to the next generation of Red Alert submarines.

To get back to the point, although the destroyer in Red Alert 2 is still inferior to the 052D in combat capabilities, it is still a good main combat ship in the 80s and even in the 90s. The standard displacement is 6000 tons, the full load displacement is 6850 tons, the length of the ship is 160 meters, the width is 16. 2 meters, draft 7. 5 meters, with a high porthole, Atlantic bow, ship hull floating, and stealth design, the mast is also closed with a stealth design. Basically, this ship shape became popular after the nineties.

Her main weapon is a 155mm single-barreled naval gun, which, like in the game, is one of the few large-caliber guns in the modern navy. In terms of anti-ship weapons, it combines the main weapons of the PLA camp, which is also to facilitate logistics support, and is equipped with a total of 16 YJ-62 long-range anti-ship missiles for four units and four units. Originally, Qi Yiming wanted to choose the more common YJ-83, but considering that if the same YJ-83 was relied on, the anti-ship capability at a distance of 200 kilometers tended to be blank, so he simply chose the long-range anti-ship missile used by 052C, which can reach more than 400 kilometers.

This new destroyer does not have a vertical launch system, but it is equipped with a type of dual-arm missile launcher, which can launch a missile every 6 seconds, although it is not as capable as the vertical hair to deal with saturation attacks, but Qi Yiming himself did not position this destroyer as an air defense destroyer. The launcher has 48 rounds of ammunition in reserve, plus two on the launcher, for a total of 50 anti-aircraft missiles. Because the type of missile could not be found in the arsenal of the PLA that met the needs more than that, the original version was still retained. This anti-aircraft missile has a range of up to 120 kilometers and is mainly semi-active radar guidance, which is actually a modification of the Standard-1 missile, which Qi Yiming named the Thorn-1 anti-aircraft missile.

The short-range air defense is equipped with two Tujia 730 close-in defense guns, two Type 3200 six-pack anti-submarine rocket reflectors, four 18-pack multi-purpose rocket launch tubes, and two triple 324mm torpedo tubes.

Another major combat force of the original Allied destroyer was the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor, which carried out anti-submarine missions. But when it came to Qi Yiming, the Osprey could not be counted on, but the ship had two helicopter hangars, which could accommodate two Z-20H Sea Nighthawk anti-submarine helicopters (a combined version of the Z-20 of the Rabbit family and the Nighthawk helicopter in the Red Alert). In addition, the ship is also equipped with a complete towed array sonar, equipped with strong electronic support equipment, and its own anti-submarine strength is even stronger than that of the 054A, a general-purpose frigate positioned as an anti-submarine ship.
