Chapter 1561: One percent exception

If someone really has a God’s perspective, then it’s not hard to guess what Tan Zhenhua wants to do—because at this moment, another big ship’s ownership is settled.
Since Tan Zhenhua is now a focus figure, every move is quite eye-catching, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not personally go to the negotiation in Moscow. The person entrusted by him to lead the team was his old man. My friend, Zhu Yingfu, director of Hanyang Ship Design Institute.
The goal of the negotiation is also a ship that appeared in this book-the former Soviet-Russian Pacific Fleet flagship, the "Minsk" aircraft carrier, once stationed in Cam Ranh Bay, regarded by the Americans as a thorn in the eye, and regarded by the Chinese Navy as a huge threat!
The "Minsk" aircraft carrier is the second ship of the second type of "Heavy Carrier Cruiser" developed by the former Soviet Russia, codenamed 1143.2. This ship inherits the former Soviet Russia’s unique understanding of aircraft carriers. Its design is similar to that of the United States and Western countries. The design concept of "fighting to make room to park planes" is completely different. In addition to the outboard floating islands and oblique flight decks similar to Western aircraft carriers, only 60% of its deck area is used for take-off and parking.
In the bow of the ship, the entire front deck is equipped with standard cruiser armaments. It has a very powerful anti-air and sea-to-sea weapon system. It combines firepower and heavy weapons. It has a full range of anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-aircraft weapons. The azimuth strike firepower, so from the appearance, its structure is half like an aircraft carrier, and half like a cruiser, so the Soviet Russians gave it the name "heavy carrier cruiser".
These weapons include: 4 double-mounted SS-N-12 "Basalt" anti-ship missile launchers, equipped with 8 ammunition; 2 double-mounted SA-N-3 "Storm" short-range air defense missile launchers, equipped with ammunition 96; 2 double-mounted SA-N-4 medium-range air defense missile launchers with 40 ammunition; 8 AK630 30 mm near-defense naval guns; 2 double AK726 76.2 mm naval guns; 2 12-unit RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launcher; 1 double-unit FRAS-1 anti-submarine missile launcher, equipped with 16 SS-N-14 anti-submarine missiles; 2 five-unit 533 mm torpedo launchers.
In addition to these "hard cargo" weapons, the "Minsk" can also carry 12 Yak-38 vertical take-off and landing fighter jets on its 189-meter-long and 20.7-meter-wide flight deck in standard conditions. 19 Ka 27 and 2 Ka 25B helicopters.
Let’s put it this way, you can see that this ship is armed to the teeth. The ship does not need to be like the western aircraft carriers. It must bring a bunch of shield ships as bodyguards. It can be a lone ranger, alone. The ship went out to find someone to pinch it. Of course, it was impossible for the ship to satisfy the former Soviet Russia’s original intention of building it and hoping to compete with the United States in the depths of the ocean. Its actual combat power can also bully the miscellaneous soldiers. If the opponent is a big BOSS like Midi Navy, it will definitely lose.
The ship was of course manufactured by the former Soviet Russia’s only aircraft carrier Nikolaev Black Sea Shipyard. It was launched in September 1975. In 1978, it completed the sea trial and was officially delivered to the former Soviet Russian Navy. It joined the Pacific Fleet and served as the flagship of the fleet. , The home port of Vladivostok, and haunts the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific all the year round. The Cam Ranh Bay in Annan is its main supply port.
In another time and space, the actual combat capability of this ship has been widely questioned, because in the Western naval combat system thinking, the aircraft carrier is regarded as a purely carrier platform, as long as it has a certain close self-defense capability. The combat power of the fixed-wing fighters on board and the dispatch rate of the fighters are the standards to measure the combat power of the aircraft carrier, and what about the "Minsk"? It is equipped with the "Jacques 38" fighter that can only act as a "mast defender" and can only operate in a vertical take-off and landing manner, resulting in a very low dispatch rate and a small combat radius. If it is fighting a US aircraft carrier The group competes one-on-one in the depths of the ocean, and it is estimated that the sea will have no power to fight back. What is the use of this freak design?
Normally, this tactical thinking in the Western world is correct on 99% of occasions, including the China Navy and Tan Zhenhua himself. They all recognize the aircraft carrier as a "decisive weapon". It should give full play to its effectiveness. Pursue the combat capability of its fighters to the limit and pursue the maximum dispatch rate index in order to exert these effects. As for the defense task, it should be completed by the fleet's shield ship.
Obviously, Rakshasa, the successor of the former Soviet Russia, also gradually agreed with this view. Therefore, when the country’s financial crisis was unable to feed the large-scale fleet of the former Soviet Russia, the first thing that came to mind was to abolish the
Ming The "Sk" is a big, expensive and somewhat "unlike" ship.
On May 30, 1992, it was definitely a dark day for the "Minsk" that used to gallop over the ocean. On this day, the "Minsk" lowered the Rakshasa flag and the naval flag, officially Decommissioned from the Rakshasa Navy, and this is less than half of its design life of 35 years.
According to the historical development of the previous life, this "Minsk" will be decommissioned, and its sister ship "Noorossiysk" in 1995, after the weapon system on it was dismantled, will be taken by South Korea.
Daewoo Group
bought it in the name of scrap steel, and the two ships sold for a total of 13 million US dollars, but the
Noorossiysk
was eventually dismantled into a pile of parts and put into a steel furnace. The fate of the "Sk" was a little better. Due to the Asian financial crisis in 1997, Daewoo Group faced bankruptcy and bankruptcy. It escaped the catastrophe of being demolished and was awarded $5.3 million by Daewoo Group, which was in desperate need of cash. It was sold to a Huaxia company at a low price. In August 1999, the "Minsk" was towed to the Guangnan Wenchong Shipyard for closed and large-scale repairs and renovations. On May 9, 2000, the "Minsk" was sold as " The world’s only large-scale military theme park transformed from a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier" reappeared and has since become a cruise ship on Dapeng Bay in Shenchuan. On February 14, 2016, Shenchuan "Minsk Aircraft Carrier World" "It was announced to be closed due to long-term operating losses. On April 2, the "Minsk" was towed away from Shenchuan, went north to the Zhoushan Shipyard for repair and maintenance, and then docked on the north bank of the Sutong Yangtze River Highway Bridge.
Once the king of the sea, the final ending is so bleak, it really makes people sigh.
But all this will not happen in this time and space, because Tan Zhenhua has entrusted Zhu Yingfu to go to Moscow to buy it.
Because in a secret meeting with the navy, he tried to present his own views and put forward that "what equipment to fight with?" is the glorious tradition of our army. At the same time, he pointed out that although the western thinking on aircraft carriers is 99 % Of the scenarios are correct, but there are 1% exceptions.
Such as the current China.
