Chapter 1158: The story of destroyer 111

When Qin Guan heard that he was going out, of course he couldn't wait.
Since an accident happened last time, it is very difficult for Qin Guan to go out again. Qin Guan is also very enthusiastic and does not take the initiative to say that he wants to go out. After all, this will bring great problems to the security forces. It would be too tiring to even deal with some accidents in the other country.
But, on your own warship, is this always okay?
It's not the first time to go to sea. The last time he went to sea, Qin Guan made a contribution, and he was not seasick. With current navigation technology, even if it encounters strong winds and waves, the tragedy of the Titanic will not happen.
Moreover, the performance of warships against wind and waves is even higher.
Now, when he heard that he was going out, Qin Guan immediately asked for his order.
General Ye was also mentally prepared for Qin Guan's request. It could even be said that he knew that Qin Guan must go. It would be bad if he kept the secret from Qin Guan.
"Mr Qin, now your North Industries Corporation has an arduous task, and there are many things waiting for you to do. If you go directly to the sea like this, how will your company's affairs be handled?"
"That's easy. I can remotely control the command. Besides, with Brother Yang sitting in charge, there is nothing he can't handle." Qin Guan said.
It's a rare opportunity to observe it up close. If it had been before, the Navy would have never even thought of it.
The previous four King Kongs of the Navy, or the 051 level, were all backward warships, with poor navigating capabilities at sea. With a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, they could not be counted as blue water warships.
Now, the navy has changed shotguns, and the addition of four Kidd-class destroyers has greatly increased the combat capabilities of its own navy. The supporting standard air defense missiles are already enough to take on the heavy task of air defense in formations. They are also equipped with helicopters, with a displacement of 10,000 tons, which is absolutely first-class equipment.
Moreover, compared with history, the country's strength has been greatly enhanced.
Economic construction is the same as in history. However, the export volume has increased substantially. Arms exports occupy a very important aspect. The export of electronic technology is also known as a new growth point. It can be said that in the past two years , The country’s foreign exchange reserves are soaring, and the country no longer needs to tighten its belt for economic construction.
The navy burns money. If in the past, the navy would go around at the door of the house at most, and the fuel would not be enough. But now, one year later, the navy can make another voyage at sea and it is completely affordable.
"President Qin, if you insist on going, then our navy will cooperate with you. All the officers and soldiers of the 111 ship are also looking forward to your arrival." General Ye said, shouting to the back: "Captain Wei, Chief Qin give it to you."
"Yes, promise to complete the mission!" Captain Wei ran up cheerfully behind him.
The two are old acquaintances, old partners, this time, the captain of the 111 ship is Captain Wei.
Hearing the 111 ship, Qin Guan felt inexplicably emotional in his heart, this hull number is very special.
In the navy, the destroyers start at 1. For the North Sea Fleet, it goes from 105 to 110. Then, it crosses the number 111, and directly has 112 and 113. Among them, there is a story.
In March 1980, when the then Minister of National Defense of Niu Pim visited Han, the leaders of the two armed forces listed the cooperative modification of the 051S project as the focus of their military technology cooperation.
The Han National Navy’s initial vision was to carry out a comprehensive modernization of the eight Type 051 destroyers in service, mainly covering ship-based weapons, fire control radars, command/electronic countermeasure equipment and combat command centers, with a focus on improving fleet and single-ship air defense Combat capability, following the 053k air defense frigate, is another attempt to develop air defense warships.
However, with such contact between the two sides, Niu Guo found that the design concept of the 051 ship was still based on the concept of World War II. On the existing basis, the hull must be rebuilt and designed, including the addition of a modern combat command center dedicated cabin. In this way, the two parties reached a consensus on the necessary redesign of 051, and 051S came into being.
It can be said that it is based on the existing Type 051 destroyer with special air defense improvements. It will adopt a high-freeboard deck ship type, with a normal displacement of 4,000 tons, and equipped with heavy "Sea Javelin" area air defense missiles, making the 051S Type The ship has a certain maritime formation area and strong single-ship air defense capability.
After long-term and arduous negotiations, two years later, the contract for the cooperative modification of the 051S ship was initially initialed in the capital. According to this contract, with the assistance of Niu, the Han Navy will first refit two 051S ships and then refit the remaining 6 follow-up ships on its own.
The first two ships were the 111 ship and the 135 ship.
At that time, there were some ideas, which was to refit the new ship-borne weapons and equipment that we were still developing, including the "Eagle Strike"-8 series anti-ship missiles, the "Yu"-7 torpedoes and anti-submarine helicopters, etc., to modify this one. The integrated combat power of the People’s Republic of China is pushed to a higher level. On the basis of this modification, subsequent newly-built 051 ships will also be built according to this new model.
Later, the Donkey Island War broke out. In this war, the Sea Javelin did not become famous, but various problems were exposed. After repeated comparisons, the Han Chinese Navy finally rejected this project. The ideal of modernizing the navy was shattered by the introduction of Western technology.
At that time, many people still hoped that the Hongqi 61 developed by themselves could be used for air defense, but after many years of doing it, they were unable to break through. They began to introduce the sea rattlesnake from the country of chickens. This kind of simple short-range point air defense weapon was a solution. The embarrassment of only the cannon for air defense.
It was not until the new century that the addition of Haihongqijiu completely solved the problem of regional air defense.
And now, relying on Qin Guan's impetus, he has purchased four warships with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, and even the standard air defense missiles above have been introduced simultaneously.
On this basis, through surveying and imitating, our first-generation ship-borne air defense missiles will soon come out and form a series. In addition to the navy, there will also be advanced air defense missile systems on land, especially phase control. Another breakthrough in array radar technology is even more powerful.
Engines, the navy's violent soldiers, just lack the engine. Think about our Luhu-class, and built two ships, No. 112 and No. 113, because of the engine, the LM2500 gas turbine, which has advanced performance, but it is sold by Eagles. If two ships are sold, they will not be sold.
His own power was later forced to use a steam turbine until he bought a gas turbine from Ermao, which was considered to have solved the urgent need.
It is also imminent to develop a gas turbine for ships on the basis of its advanced third-generation core engine.
"General Qin?" At this time, Captain Wei had reached out, and when he saw Qin Guan didn't know what he was thinking, he couldn't help asking curiously.
"I'm sorry." Qin Guan stopped his thoughts, reached out and shook hands with Captain Wei.
