Chapter 584: Constellation-class cruiser

At the time when two destroyers of Iran greeted the future military resources company fleet into the Persian Gulf.

Iran's national television broadcasts news on several national and international channels, as well as on Middle Eastern TV channels and online TV news.

In terms of the content of the news, there are pictures of the fleet taken by the Iranian Navy, as well as the class and ship name of each fleet of this fleet.

The hosts of the Iranian news media were all excited when they read the relevant press releases:

"This is an incomparably powerful modern fleet, which is in no way inferior to the American fleet in the Persian Gulf, both in terms of the overall level of technology and the size of the fleet.

This is a super fleet that is enough to change the pattern of global naval forces, and from the overall scientific and technological level of the ship and the appearance of the stealth layout, it also fully shows that whether it is an aircraft carrier or other main surface combat ships, it is a generation higher than the Nimitz-class and Arleigh Burke second-class destroyers of the United States, and the stealth cruisers among them also crush the Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers of the United States in various performance indicators.

At the invitation of Leader Ayatollah Ali, this fleet has come to the Persian Gulf to visit Iran, and the navy has also expressed great importance to this, and the two sides have also planned to carry out joint military exercises in the Persian Gulf......"

The news swept across Iran and the Middle East like a Category 12 hurricane.

The fleet of the Future Technology Group, which has been rumored for more than ten days, finally entered the Persian Gulf, and when many photos of this fleet were revealed, the entire Middle East was boiling at the same time.

This is a fleet that can fight with the five U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups in the Persian Gulf, and will not necessarily lose to the five U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups.

Such a large sea force is too unexpected.

The most unexpected thing is that for the arrival of the Future Technology Group, the performance of the US Navy is quite calm, and it still maintains a high attendance rate every day to bomb targets in Iraq.

As for the arrival of the Future Technology Group, the US military also sent a destroyer detachment in the Persian Gulf to meet it.

In the American media, it is also written that the fleet of the US Navy's friend, the Future Technology Group, entered the Persian Gulf.

The US media did not hesitate to praise this fleet, and in terms of the content of the report, they were very careful to help publicize the strong combat effectiveness of this fleet.

Even a large number of media in the United States are using the warships of the Future Technology Group to make horizontal and vertical comparisons with the United States' own warships of the same class.

It is understood that the stealth cruiser is responsible for the main air defense and anti-missile tasks of the fleet, and the stealth cruiser is the Constellation-class cruiser of the Future Technology Group, with a full load displacement of 16,500 tons and 162 vertical launch systems, the vertical launch system is a very advanced device, and all the ships of the US Navy are not equipped with systems of the same level.

According to the information released by Future Technology Group, the vertical launch system has a perfect co-launch capability, and each launch canister of the vertical launch system can also be equipped with all types of missiles independently produced and developed by Future Technology Group, and has a flexible modular combination.

It can launch small short-range anti-aircraft missiles, supersonic cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, and even long-range ballistic missiles.

The Constellation-class cruiser, while having super firepower, also has a very advanced electronic system, adopts all-electric propulsion, and adopts a large number of intelligent control, so it does not need many people to be able to fully exert the full combat effectiveness of this 10,000-ton ship, according to the understanding, such a battleship, only 46 people, can fully exert all combat effectiveness.

The Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers of the same class need more than 100 people to operate, and they are completely backward in terms of firepower, stealth performance and various electronic equipment.

And according to the inference, the stealth main gun on the Constellation-class cruiser is also very likely to be this electromagnetic cannon, although there is no evidence for this speculation, and the Future Technology Group does not have any relevant explanations, but the electrical energy provided by the ship's power system is enough to install large laser weapons and electromagnetic guns on the ship. ”

For the United States, of course, the most interesting thing is not the Constellation-class cruiser, but this type of cruiser is indeed enough to play the key to the balance of power.

For any warship in this fleet, the American side is highly concerned, and the Constellation-class cruisers can be ranked at least in the top three.

The stealthy main gun design, the outside world can only see a stealth naval gun main body in the bow of the cruiser, similar to the main gun design mode of the American DDG Zumwalt, but the turret is obviously larger, and there is only one such main gun.

The U.S. speculation is an electromagnetic cannon, and it is not a pure blind guess, and in terms of the internal scientific and technological analysis of the United States, it is normal for the future science and technology group to master the technology of the electromagnetic cannon.

And on the Constellation-class cruisers, there are many details worth paying attention to, which are also worth studying carefully.

On the whole, the United States has to admit that once the Constellation-class cruiser comes out, in terms of technology and overall combat effectiveness, it can completely crush all the warships of the same class in the US military except for Zumwalt.

And this kind of crushing exists in almost every level, which naturally brings enough tremendous pressure to the US Navy.

In this regard, the US military is also sparing no effort in propaganda to exaggerate the strength of the fleet of the future technology group.

Even in the media in the United States, it is very clear that once the US fleet in the Persian Gulf goes to war with this fleet of the Future Technology Group, the US Navy will suffer a crushing defeat.

Of course, this kind of propaganda method is deliberately done by the US Department of Defense, on the one hand to seek peaceful coexistence with the Future Technology Group, and on the other hand, to publicize to the people that the strength of the US Navy has been overtaken and is facing a very dangerous situation.

The use of Constellation-class cruisers as the primary target of propaganda is to convince Congress to allocate funds to build more powerful warships of the same class in response.

And this is also a gap in the US Navy at the moment.

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are being built on a large scale with Burke Type III, but the U.S. Navy does not have a warship that can truly replace the Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, and Zumwalt is only suitable to be a lone ranger.

This propaganda is also to make Congress understand that the US Navy also needs more advanced cruisers, otherwise it will be difficult for the US Navy to guarantee US strategic interests in the world.
