If he didn't know that the Arab countries would unite to deal with Somalia, Chen Xin might still be hesitant about how to use the three newly acquired Typhoon-class nuclear submarines. Now that he has decided to use force to resolve the crisis facing Somalia, what is the next step? It's much simpler.

Chen Xin intends to convert the three "Typhoon" class ballistic missile nuclear submarines into cruise missile nuclear submarines.

In fact this is not without precedent.

As early as the 90s, with the signing of the START II Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, the United States would have to reduce four ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Therefore, in the 1994 Clinton administration’s nuclear posture assessment, the idea of ​​cruise missile nuclear submarines was proposed.

The U.S. Navy was initially apprehensive about this concept, and investing a lot of resources in cruise missile nuclear submarines will definitely affect the procurement of existing platforms.

The officers of the submarine force were worried that their Seawolves and the future Virginia would be discounted, and the officers of the surface fleet did not like this equipment whose use was unknown outside the existing combat system.

However, with the release of the Sea Power 21 guidelines and the need for special forces and cruise missile strikes in the post-9.11 anti-terrorist war, cruise missile nuclear submarines have become popular.

Therefore, starting in 2002, the United States began to officially refit the four early Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines into cruise missile nuclear submarines. According to the report submitted by the U.S. Navy to the U.S. Congress, the cost of refitting the four submarines was 4 billion US dollars.

The new cruise missile nuclear submarine has not changed much in design. The main improvement is to replace the launcher of the original 24-unit Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missile.

其中22单元发射装置分别替换为7单元的战斧导弹发射装置，总计携带154枚战斧导弹；剩余2个单元用于投放特种部队(SOF)。改装后的潜艇将配置66名特种部队队员。

To coordinate with Special Forces activities, the submarine will also carry the Advanced Seal Delivery System (ASDS) and Dry Deck Delivery Module (DDS).

As the only platform for the U.S. sea-based nuclear force today, the Ohio-class nuclear submarine is excellent in performance.Although it is 170.7 meters long and 12.1 meters in diameter.It is a behemoth with a draft of 11.8 meters and an underwater displacement of 18750 tons, but it uses General Electric's S8G natural circulation nuclear reactor, which has excellent quietness.Underwater concealment performance is very good.

The cruise missile nuclear submarine modified from the Ohio class also inherited excellent concealment capabilities.

To some extent, the Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarine is another manifestation of the arsenal ship.

In the early years, the concept of the arsenal ship was attacked. The defect was poor survivability and the inability to perform tasks alone. However, cruise missile nuclear submarines such as the Ohio do not have these weaknesses.

The 4 tactical Tomahawk cruise missiles on the four Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarines are close to the number of Tomahawk missiles used by the US military in the Iraq War. This in itself is a great enhancement of the US military's strike force.

The combination of special forces and tactical Tomahawk missiles has brought a new ability to hunt and kill ballistic missile launch vehicles.

This is a great threat to Iran and North Korea, which rely heavily on ballistic missile deterrence.This is also the reason why the four Ohio-class cruise missile nuclear submarines of the US military always make high-profile appearances in the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean during the period of high tension between the North Korea and South Korea and the Iranian nuclear issue.

Compared with the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, the three Typhoon-class nuclear submarines in Chen Xin's hands are undoubtedly more suitable for conversion into cruise missile nuclear submarines.

First, although the typhoon-class nuclear submarine has only 20 missile silos, four less than the Ohio-class missile silos, the typhoon-class missile silos are much larger than the Ohio-class nuclear submarine missile silos (SS-N-2 submarine-launched missile much larger than the Trident [-]), so it can hold more ballistic missiles.

According to the estimation of steel penny.The silos of each Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine can accommodate twelve units of long-range cruise missiles, almost half more than the Ohio-class. One Typhoon-class carries 240 cruise missiles, and the three Typhoon-class can carry 720 in total. The huge ground strike force is almost ready for a medium-sized war.

If you add the more than 300 fighter jets and aerospace planes in Somalia, Chen Xin is sure to destroy the armed forces of Saudi Arabia and other countries before they react.

But before that, he must have enough weapons and ammunition.

Chen Xin thought for a moment, picked up the phone on the table, and directly dialed the number of General Chang Siwei, Chief of PLA General Staff.

soon.The phone connects.

"Hello. Who is this?" Chang Siwei's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, Chen Xin!"

Chang Siwei's tone became excited all of a sudden, and he said, "Mr. Chen, you finally appeared."

These 20 days.Chen Xin disappeared without a trace, and China and Russia faced enormous pressure from European and American countries alone.Coupled with the fact that international organizations like OPEC are jumping up and down, the international situation of China and Russia is not very good.

Fortunately, the three nuclear submarines in Vladivostok suddenly disappeared, which shared the attention of many European and American countries, otherwise the life of the two countries would be even more difficult.

Therefore, China has also been trying to contact Chen Xin, hoping that the Zhanhu Bureau can come forward as soon as possible to help share the pressure.

It's a pity that Chen Xin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and even Qiao Ting and other girls who were close to him couldn't get in touch with him.

This makes the Chinese high-level very anxious.

Chang Siwei did not expect that Chen Xin would suddenly call him at this time.

Chen Xin also had a general understanding of Chang Siwei's mentality, he laughed and said, "General Chang, I'm sorry. Isn't it small?"

Chang Siwei said with a smile: "What is the pressure? The Yankees are itchy and Japan and South Korea are showing off in the Yellow Sea. We will also go on stage and have a show with them. If we really want to do something, as long as there is a sudden war Exist, we are not afraid of Yankees."

Chen Xin couldn't deny his compliments to Chang Siwei, and said with a smile: "General Chang is overrated, Zhan Huju doesn't have such a powerful force. I'm calling you this time because I'm asking China for help."

Chang Siwei was taken aback for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Chen, please tell me."

Chen Xindao: "I need a thousand Longjian 10 cruise missiles!"

"What, ten thousand long swords?" Chang Siwei gasped suddenly. (to be continued~^~)
