Great Power Ship

Chapter 282 General Teacher
It’s not enough to say it again, Wen Dawei’s choice of the Bosnian Navy’s "Babur" class destroyer can be tossed about casually, and the most important point is that it is a product purchased by the former Bosnian regime from the United States.

That is, the "Alan Sumner" class destroyer built during World War II.

Although it is a 40-year-old product, when it was sold to Bosnia, the American manufacturer made targeted improvements and upgrades to the model in accordance with Bosnia's requirements.

The most important point is to install a set of quadruple "standard"-1MR air defense missiles on it, which became the leading air defense destroyer in the Persian Gulf area at that time.

Of course, if the Bosnian regime does not change, the "Kidd"-class guided-missile destroyer based on the US Navy's "Spruance"-class guided-missile destroyer should also berth in Bosnian ports.

If you can toss and toss the "Kidd" class, it is naturally desirable for Zhujiang Factory. Unfortunately, history cannot be changed, but it doesn't matter. The "Babur" class destroyer of the Bosnian Navy is used as a blueprint for refitting old ships with anti-aircraft destroyers. It is enough for Zhujiang factory to learn a lot.

Even some practical significance is greater than those cutting-edge warships.

After all, the air defense pressure of the domestic navy's fleet is not small. How to use old ship platforms to build improved ships with certain air defense capabilities under the condition of insufficient funds has become a very hot research direction of the navy in recent years.

However, due to the weak domestic technical foundation, the relevant research work has not progressed smoothly, so that several types of ship-to-air missiles that have been finalized have not been favored by the navy for various reasons.

Some progress has been made in importing related systems from the outside, but they are generally concentrated on short-range point air defense systems below 20 kilometers.

It is barely enough for a single ship, but not enough for the entire fleet.

The problem is that the current regional fleet air defense systems with a global range of more than 20 kilometers are only in the hands of the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Needless to say about the Soviet Union, these days the old men are very careless, and the posture of people blocking the killing of Buddhas blocking the killing of Buddhas is simply impossible to get close to.

As for Americans, they are very enthusiastic. It’s all business anyway. The key is to see how much money is spent. It’s just annoying that Americans always like to put some weird additional conditions.

For example, you cannot use the missiles I sold to you in a certain situation; the missiles sold in a certain situation need to be inspected by me; the missiles sold to you in a certain situation must provide relevant data regularly...

The people who worked on the McDonnell Douglas Missile always had the illusion that they spent money to buy the missile, but they didn't really buy it!

Therefore, there is little hope for American products in China.

My ability is average and my level is limited; because I can't find a stable and reliable source of goods in the world, the fleet area air defense missile is frozen there like stagnant water, unable to move!
In this context, the two "Babur" class destroyers of the Bosnian Navy were targeted by Wen Dawei, because the US-made "standard" 1MR air defense missiles on them were genuine regional air defense missiles.

With a maximum range of 32 kilometers and a semi-active radar guidance method, the "Standard"-1MR air defense missile has excellent accuracy and anti-interference ability.

More importantly, the "standard"-1MR air defense missile has opened a new era. Given the excellent aerodynamic layout of this model, the Americans have started an upgrade and evolution path that lasted for more than half a century.

From the initial Standard-1, Standard-2, to Standard-21 and Standard-3 in the 6st century, an extremely large family of standard series air defense missiles has been formed.

Not only the Americans themselves, but the Soviets also developed their own SA-N7 series medium-range ship-to-air missile system with the help of the aerodynamic layout of standard missiles.

Isn't such a good thing with excellent performance that almost affects the air defense trend of the entire world area worth learning from Zhujiang Factory?
What's more, in addition to anti-aircraft missiles, but in terms of the ship itself, it is also worthy of Zhujiang Factory to study and learn.

You must know that the "Alan Sumner" class destroyer was known as the most successful destroyer during World War II, and it had a great influence on the design and development of destroyers after the war.

On its basis, the United States developed the "Keeling" class destroyers and the "Fletcher" class destroyers, which have since established the overall tone of American destroyers after the war.

So much so that by the mid-80s, the "Spruance" guided-missile destroyer equipped by the U.S. Navy and the next-generation "Arleigh Burke"-class guided-missile destroyer under development all have the shadow of these grandparent destroyers.

Therefore, the configuration and application of the destroyer's hull shape, cabin layout, superstructure structure, and key areas' protection, anti-sinking, and damage control systems are of great practical significance.

In any case, the Americans are an out-and-out naval power, and the navy is more important than other military branches in the entire army. Compared with this, the domestic navy inherited from the Soviet Union has obvious advantages in many aspects.

This is also impossible. The Soviet Union has been a land country since ancient times. Facing the fat and oily European Great Plains, it is enough to use a wave of armored and mechanized troops to push it over.

The role of the navy is nothing more than to ensure the safety of the flanks of the Baltic Sea-North Sea and the Black Sea-Mediterranean Sea during the flat push of the Army troops.

If the situation permits, it is not impossible to make a few landing assaults at every turn.

To put it bluntly, the navy did not break away from the essence of being a vassal of the army.

The Americans are different. Since the founding of the country, they have been trapped on the American continent like an isolated island. If they want to develop and trade, they have to cross the two natural barriers of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. They can’t do without developing a navy.

In addition, during World War II, the Pacific War between the United States and Japan was mostly sea battles where bayonets became popular. In the past, the actual combat situation that was not written in the book was a Pacific war. The U.S. Navy had all its strength.

Even if you start with a bronze, you can get to the king with a hard brush.

The results accumulated through years of actual combat experience will inevitably be reflected in the design and construction of ships. It just so happens that the "Alan Sumner" class destroyer is a master designed on the basis of summarizing previous combat experience in the late World War II. It is impossible to be dubbed the title of the best destroyer in World War II.

This is a very good model for Zhujiang Factory, which lacks experience in building large surface ships, especially large military ships.

It even draws more nutrition from it than the cutting-edge warships of some countries.

That is to say, the Bosnian side strictly limits the number of people, otherwise Wen Dawei is going to take the cadres and workers of the Zhujiang factory to Bosnia in batches and batches, and take the two "Babur" class destroyers as general teachers. Dismantling, dismantling and reinstalling the airframe learning activities.
