Chapter 552: The deterrent power of missile destroyers makes the Eagle Sauce and the Bear cautious
Pushed by three powerful figures, the steam engines were ready and the steel was directly brought from Fengtian.
Missiles, fire control radars, search radars, etc., which are readily available in Manchuria, can be directly pulled over for loading.
The naval gun was put into research and development and trial production last year. It was not used on cruisers, but it can be used on destroyers.
The construction speed is terrifying.
In less than a year, the two destroyers were invested at all costs and entered the launching and sea trial stage ahead of schedule.
First, a missile cruiser was launched for patrol.
In more than a month, two missile destroyers were launched. With a full load of more than 4100 tons and more than 300 crew members, the trial speed reached 35.7 knots, which is higher than the expected design speed.
After the warship was run in, it was not a problem to break through 36 knots or even 36.5 knots when running at full speed and standing upright with the feet.
The new warship had just been launched, and the naval personnel were rather reserved.
I didn't dare to do anything rude, I had to be very careful, for fear of breaking it.
The steel giant on the sea cannot be destroyed easily.
There are still some design gaps left, mainly for subsequent modification of ship-to-air missiles to enhance air defense capabilities.
There is space left for adding anti-submarine rockets to increase anti-submarine capabilities later.
The existing anti-submarine torpedo launchers and air defense mainly rely on dual-purpose secondary guns, as well as other small-caliber anti-aircraft guns equipped with fire control radars.
The names were relatively conservative, one was named Shanghai and the other was named Haiyue.
A large number of files are sealed and encrypted for storage.
This is the production material of our self-developed missile destroyer. We can take it out and replicate the destroyer in other places.
In addition to Lianlu Port, there are shipyards in Shanghai, Guangdong and other places that can be integrated to enable them to have the ability to produce destroyers.
At the current stage, the Shanghai and Haiyue are still immature and have room for improvement, so they cannot be finalized.
Not suitable for large-scale mass production.
Based on the feedback from trials, training and exercises, construction of two more missile destroyers will be launched in the second half of the year.
The most shocked were the Russians, who strongly suspected that Ding Wei and his team stole shipbuilding information when they visited the shipyard last year.
But they don’t have any missile destroyers themselves.
How can I steal something that you don't even have?
You got 68 points and I got 98 points. Could it be that I copied your paper?
The West has devoted a lot of space to reporting and conducted in-depth analysis of the two destroyers of Longguo, trying to find the technical route for research and development.
The two destroyers, Shanghai and Haiyue, are more based on the Fletcher-class destroyers.
This old workhorse is a hardworking and conscientious destroyer, and can be considered a relatively perfect destroyer at the end of World War II.
It can do everything, including air defense, anti-submarine, naval warfare and escort.
The definition of Longguo's finalized destroyer is the same. It must have everything, and it must be comprehensive and perfect.
The experts on the Russian side know it best. The destroyers were not copied from the Russian side at all.
How dare they sell us that 1800-ton displacement thing with a full load of 2000 tons?
Now, two missile destroyers with a full load displacement of 2 tons have been launched at once, directly crushing the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Bear. The strike range of ship-to-ship missiles is dozens of kilometers, far exceeding the firing range of the opponent's main guns.
When the two encounter, a Shanghai-class ship loaded with 8 Ship Breaker 2 missiles is enough to destroy 8 old destroyers.
One against eight, no pressure at all.
Another country that is paying close attention to us is the United States. They were the first to realize the modification of missile cruisers, and there is no technical problem in modifying destroyers.
The problem is that many ships have been mothballed.
The Eagles have a problem. When they modify an aircraft carrier, they usually retire it first and then put it into service after the modification is completed.
When converting cruisers and destroyers, the process was reversed: put the ships into service first and then start the conversion.
Except for the escort destroyers necessary for the aircraft carrier formation, the rest of the destroyers were sealed up, and there was no idea of converting them into missile destroyers.
After all, at this stage, before the Longguo missile destroyer enters service, no one can pose a threat to their aircraft carrier formation.
Threatening the world with mushrooms in hand doesn't require a missile destroyer.
Once the aircraft carrier formation is in place and hundreds of carrier-based aircraft stop at the door, the threat is strong enough.
In particular, aircraft carriers with mushroom strike capabilities are the Eagle Sauce's trump card and are far more ferocious than missile destroyers.
After the missile destroyer in Ding Wei's hands was launched, it theoretically had the ability to attack the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group.
Equipped with ship-to-ship missiles, can it withstand the attack of ship-to-ship missiles? The Eagle Sauce dare not bet.
The bet was won, nothing surprising. We were an aircraft carrier fleet, so it was normal for us to deal with a small destroyer. The tonnage difference between the two sides was dozens of times.
Losing the bet was a surprise enough.
The latest data of Longguo missile destroyer must be obtained and evaluated by professionals.
Only after receiving the evaluation report can we analyze the chances of both sides winning after encountering each other at sea.
The Russians had no time to care about the Far East, nor did they have the energy to consider the Pacific Fleet's application, which requested two cruisers or a battleship to strengthen its strength.
Otherwise, it will face pressure from three parties. Sugang’s offshore fleet has four destroyers.
Although Sakura's Coast Guard has no destroyers, only coastal defense ships, but he has the Eagle Sauce standing behind him, and he can't be ignored because he has the Eagle Sauce to support him.
Another thing is the Dragon Kingdom’s navy. It went from nothing to something, from weak to strong, and the offensive and defensive situation was reversed almost overnight.
The situation is different now.
The Pacific Fleet of the former Russian bear can be said to be firmly in second place. Except for the United States, it is in a dominant position in other places.
In just two years, so much has changed that even traveling to Hong Kong has become a restricted area for them.
You have no choice but to accept and believe it.
If we do not strengthen our naval power, how can we maintain the long coastline in the Far East?
Except for the two people who are more concerned, the Russian bear and the American hawk, the mentality of Sakura and Jam is scattered.
It’s over, it’s over. Dragon Country now has a missile destroyer. Isn’t that the end of it?
If we settle all the new and old grudges together, will the country be destroyed?
The stronger the Dragon Kingdom's maritime power becomes, the more worried these two feel.
One is a defeated general, and the other is an enemy who must be dealt with.
The origin of 12 nautical miles of territorial waters has become a requirement of international maritime law.
In the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, many people agree that the 12-nautical-mile coastline is the limit. The earliest saying is that the maximum range of a cannon was 12 nautical miles. This was not proposed out of thin air, but evolved from actual combat.
In the past, the range of cannons was less than 3 nautical miles, and everyone assumed that 3 nautical miles was the dividing line of the coastline.
Many people accept this default dividing line.
But at the same time, there are also many people who do not agree.
Some people insist that the coastline is 20 nautical miles or 50 nautical miles. Some even propose a 370-kilometer coastline.
Anyway, everyone has their own explanation.
The specific dividing line depends on the strength of both parties.
Being strong means you can shit on the other person's head, and the other person will still have to give you toilet paper.
If you are not strong enough, any opinions are just nonsense and others will not care about you at all!
If this is true, the vast coastal areas in the south will need to be carefully considered.
