Chapter 133 61 Commune Shipyard (additional update)
The city of Nikolayev has two shipyards, which are definitely powerful enough. However, the products produced by these two shipyards are different.
The 444th Shipyard in the south has the largest slipway in the Soviet Union, with a nine-hundred-ton crane, and produces heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. The 445th Shipyard in the north produces other heavy warships, such as cruisers.
The first of the Type 1164 cruisers, the Glorious, has been sailing on the ocean for several years and has been showing off its power for several years. It has tracked the American aircraft carrier formation and also held the Yalta International Nuclear Arms Control Conference. A few months later, the Glorious The number will come back and be modernized.
The most dazzling thing currently docked at the outfitting dock is the fourth ship of the Type 1164 cruiser, which is still called the Komsomolets. More than 80% of its overall construction work has been completed. From the outside, it is already A mighty and imposing look.
“That warship is so domineering!” Qin Tao said to Moskalenko who was accompanying him.
“Yes, it is the most powerful battleship in our Soviet Union!” Moskalenko was very proud and looked at Nikolai: “Nikolai, is your Varyag not bad?”
At present, three Type 1164 cruisers have been completed. The Varyag, completed last year, sailed to the Pacific Fleet and became the main warship there. Together with the two heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers, it dominates the entire Western Pacific.
Hearing Moskalenko’s words, Nikolay nodded: “Yes, it’s so beautiful. Our fleet commander even asked for a room up there.”
Although the two heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers are larger, those two warships have to operate aircraft, and the roar of aircraft is always heard on the bridge. It is so noisy that their fleet commander prefers to The Varyag became the flagship.
The Glorious Class, with a displacement of 12,000 tons, was a powerful maritime combat machine of the Soviet Union in this era. At this time, Wu Shengli and others looked at the anti-ship missile launch tubes on both sides of the bridge, silently lost in thought.
The anti-ship missile launch tubes of the heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser are tucked under the deck, so they cannot be seen from the outside. The CM-248 launcher in front of you is majesticly arranged on both sides, with four rows on each side. Two, such a warship can carry sixteen long-range heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles, becoming a nightmare for the US Navy.
“This warship reminds me of the battleship era.” Qin Tao said to Nicholas.
Western warships are either anti-submarine or air defense. Anti-ship seems to be a soy sauce function, but Lao Maozi has always regarded anti-ship as the top priority. After all, their enemy is the US Navy, which has more than a dozen A huge force composed of 60 aircraft carriers. In the 1980s, the Americans even proposed a naval plan of 600 warships.
Those huge cylinders contain super weapons tailor-made for American aircraft carriers.
"Yes, it is just like the battleship of the past." Moskalenko said: "It is loaded with our most advanced P-500 anti-ship missile, which has a maximum range of 550 kilometers and a maximum speed of Mach 2.5. , has a one-ton warhead, and can be equipped with nuclear warheads if necessary. Only one can destroy an American aircraft carrier."
This is the real aircraft carrier nemesis.
The defense radius of the American aircraft carrier formation is 500 kilometers. Therefore, if a warship wants to safely launch anti-ship missiles and return alive, the range of the anti-ship missiles must exceed 500 kilometers. This NATO code name is SS- The N-12 anti-ship missile is so powerful!
These data are public, so if Moskalenko revealed these data, it would not be considered a leak. Moreover, since it was brought by Nikolai, he did not have too much vigilance.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, these anti-ship missiles are too powerful, but you know that the Americans also know it, so the Americans can expand the defense circle. This kind of warship is still dangerous. I have an idea. .”
“What do you think?” Nicholas echoed.
"You can improve your missiles to have a longer range, such as 700 kilometers, or even a thousand kilometers, but you must keep it secret." Qin Tao said: "In this way, when encountering the Americans, they will still follow the five They have a range of 100 kilometers for defense. As long as your warships don’t come within 500 kilometers, they think it is safe. As a result, you are wandering 600 to 700 kilometers away and suddenly shoot out all your missiles. , scare those Americans to death!”
This is of course not as simple as being frightened to death. If you really attack, you will directly catch the opponent off guard, and the whole army will be wiped out before the opponent has time to react.
Nicholas sighed with emotion: "Qin, no wonder your father-in-law appreciates you so much, you are really smart."
Although it is a simple suggestion, it contains the great truth of Sun Tzu's art of war, and the art of war is also a cunning way.
The other party thought it was safe five hundred kilometers away, but what happened? The anti-ship missile flew hundreds of kilometers and hit the American aircraft carrier formation. The scene must be very spectacular.
Hearing Nikolai’s emotion, Zhao Ling smiled. Then, she simply modified the sentence before translating it to Wu Shengli.
Nicholas just sighed with emotion, and Moskalenko opened his eyes wide, but neither of them continued to talk about this topic.
Because of what Qin Tao said, what they are doing is that the range of the P-500 is still not enough. They want to develop anti-ship missiles with a longer range. However, these are secrets and cannot be revealed.
"I have read foreign literature. They analyzed this kind of anti-ship missile and it also has the ability to fly in formation." Qin Tao continued to talk. Anyway, he was idle. Let these guys sigh that Qin Tao is very knowledgeable. After a while It is also convenient for visiting warships.
"When flying in formation, one of them flies at high altitude as the pilot bomb, uses its own radar to lock the target, and assigns targets to other ultra-low-altitude missiles to hide itself to the maximum extent. If the pilot bomb is shot down, it will fly again Pick one up." Qin Tao simply explained this formation flying method.
“Qin, what do you think of this method?” Nicholas asked.
Qin Tao shook his head: "I feel bad."
not good?
Moskalenko also opened his eyes wide: "Why is it bad?"
"Because American aircraft carriers have early warning aircraft, they can be condescending and overlook the sea. They can avoid the radar of warships by flying at ultra-low altitude, but they cannot avoid the radar of early warning aircraft." Qin Tao said: "So, if it is a sneak attack, the enemy has no The defense is okay, but if it were a war and the American aircraft carrier formations kept AWACS cruising at all times, it would not be easy to hide themselves. After all, the radar echoes of these titanium alloy-cased missiles are too obvious."
"Yes, this is a problem. Is there a solution?" Nicholas agreed. Although Nicholas usually likes to get some benefits, he is a senior officer of the fleet after all, and he is also concerned about these tactics.
At this time, everyone had already walked to the side of the Communist Youth League. Qin Tao looked at the tall and mighty warship and the expectant eyes of his companions around him, and said, "Can we go up and have a look? Stand on the bridge and look down from above. look?"
"Of course." Moskalenko said: "Welcome!"
Big, so **** big!
Wu Shengli had such an idea in his mind.
The bridges of warships are located at the front and top of the ship building. Since the bridge gradually shrinks upward, the area of the navigation bridge with portholes is not large.
However, the bridge of this 10,000-ton cruiser is really big! You can actually play basketball in it!
(The bridge is divided into a navigation bridge and a compass bridge. The oldest 051 destroyer has an open-air bridge with a transparent cover on the bridge with portholes, on which the compass, theodolite and other navigation instruments can be operated, so , this kind of compass bridge was once a must-have for ship bridges, but with the use of various advanced equipment, the compass bridge was abandoned. The last few ships of 051 directly sealed the top of the bridge. I really think To use the theodolite, go on deck.)
In the center is the helmsman's position. The rudder has been installed. The bulwarks are in the classic color of brown at the top and yellow at the bottom. From the outward-sloping glass portholes, you can clearly see the various naval guns and anti-submarine launchers on the brick red deck. devices, etc.
More than a dozen people came up, and the entire bridge still seemed empty. There were portholes on both sides, but there was a row of cabinets below. The equipment inside had not been installed yet. Countless wires were exposed there, which looked very rough.
“If you open the porthole over there, you can play golf here.” Qin Tao said.
"No, no, there will be a command table in the center here." Nicholas said: "The captain or a higher-level leader can stand here and direct operations. It is very good."
In this era, the navies of most countries were commanded standing up, and there were no chairs on the bridge. The exception was the British, who had to sit.
In terms of system, sailors in most countries change guard every three or four hours, so it doesn’t matter if they stand for such a few hours, but for the British, it takes six hours, so they can’t stand.
On the other hand, the British pay attention to enjoyment. After all, they are the Royal Navy. Just look at the top of their heads. For the convenience of maintenance, warships from various countries have directly exposed pipes on their heads. However, the British look uncomfortable and have to make a suspended ceiling.
Qin Tao was on the bridge, looking left and right, and then looked into the distance.
“Why does the scrap metal over there look like the hull of a Type 956 destroyer? Are you too extravagant to throw this kind of hull away as scrap metal?”
Moskalenko looked a little embarrassed: "Well, this is indeed the hull of the Type 956 destroyer, and it is now used by us as a floating warehouse."
There are some things that Moskalenko cannot say. Initially, after the Type 956 destroyer was designed, the construction work was undertaken by the Zhdanov Shipyard.
However, due to the saturated workload of the Zhdanov Shipyard, the superiors arranged for the 61st Commune Shipyard to build some ships. Ordinarily, their shipyard builds cruisers. Isn’t it a piece of cake to build that kind of destroyer?
With this kind of self-propulsion, the first ship "Gengzhao" built by the 61 Commune Shipyard started construction in August 1983. However, just after the hull was welded, a major quality accident occurred.
The superiors were very angry. The 61 Commune Shipyard also canceled the construction of the Type 956 ship. This failed ship was converted into a floating warehouse.
Of course Moskalenko cannot talk about such embarrassing things.
Qin Tao shook his head: "The floating warehouse is too wasteful. If we can dismantle and sell the scrap metal, we are willing to exchange it for toilet paper of equal weight!"
Qin Tao opened the chips.
The modern-class ship that failed to be built is not of much value. Qin Tao will also dismantle the ship when he gets it back. However, before dismantling the ship, he can have an understanding of the entire modern-class hull, which will facilitate future inspections of the modern-class ships of the motherland navy. Warships undergo modifications.
Other warships may not be the turn of the Mingzhou Shipyard, but the four modern-class warships bought back are based in Mingzhou. The first to get the warships near the water, they certainly have the opportunity to get improved ones.
Hence, the price he offered was not low either.
The same weight of toilet paper!
The displacement of the modern class is seven to eight thousand tons. The current shell is at least one to two thousand tons, which means that it can be exchanged for thousands of tons of toilet paper!
These toilet papers can be used by the people in the shipyard to wipe their butts for ten to eight years. They can be used as welfare. Of course, some of them can also be sold to make huge profits.
Moskalenko was not as ignorant as Makarov. His eyes instantly showed the light of hope, but he still shook his head helplessly: "No."
That thing is a modern-class hull after all! It is their most advanced warship currently in service. Although this warship is useless and has to be used as a floating warehouse for waste, if it is sold, such conspicuous items will be gone, which will definitely alarm the superiors.
When the time comes, it will be difficult for him to explain to his superiors.
Although he was very greedy, he had no choice but to endure it.
"Yes, it is inconvenient to operate." Nikolai also said at the side: "But, old friend, there is always a lot of useless scrap iron in your shipyard, right? Even if one ton of scrap iron is exchanged for half a ton The toilet paper is worth it!”
Moskalenko nodded: "Yes, we have about two thousand tons of scrap iron here. If you are willing to exchange, we can sell you all this scrap iron."
Moskalenko didn't dare to touch the scrapped warships, but he still dared to touch the scraps. Even if he didn't take them, many shipwrights would pick them up and replace them when they were off work. Drinking wine.
“Of course, the exchange ratio is still one to one.” Qin Tao said generously.
Even though it was a blind box opening, Qin Tao was still able to make the final decision. He believed that his luck would not be bad. Moreover, if it is said to be one to one, who would really weigh the scrap metal? In the end, it must be estimated.
Only with this kind of generosity can we make friends.
