Chapter 34 Stealth High-speed Missile Boat
From the perspective of naval area division, Mingzhou is under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Fleet. The East China Sea Fleet has five berthing ports. Qin Tao and the others are going to report to the Navy, and of course they are going to the Navy Headquarters.
As for the location of this naval headquarters, of course it is also in Mingzhou!
When it was first established, it was in Huating. However, in the 1960s, due to various considerations, the headquarters was moved from Huating to Mingzhou, where it remains today.
So, Qin Tao and the others had to report to the headquarters, which was not too far away.
Mingzhou Shipyard is located in the south of Mingzhou City. There is a long east-west water flow here, which is considered to be inside the estuary. The Naval Headquarters is located in the northeast of Mingzhou City, so it has to go through the entire urban area and walk about fifty kilometers.
An old 212 with a navy license plate was advancing on the road. Qin Tao sat there for a while, feeling a little dissatisfied.
“Old man, when I go to Lao Maozi’s place next time, I’ll get a few cars back. We’ll have to do business frequently in the future, and we can’t lose face when we go out.”
Qin Baoshan didn't say anything there. Luo Wenzhong, the director of the headquarters who was sitting in front and came to greet them, had already echoed from the front: "Yes, Lao Maozi's Lada car is good. If there are more cars, it will be better." Get a few for our headquarters.”
“Didn’t your headquarters apply for a batch of Santanas?” Qin Tao asked.
Luo Wenzhong shook his head: "Our headquarters can only apply for off-road vehicles."
"Off-road vehicles? Then I'd better get a batch of Pajeros." Qin Tao said: "The price is guaranteed to be cheap, and I can give you a batch. However, the Pajeros we use ourselves must also be given a navy license plate."
It is not difficult for Qin Tao to get a car over, but it will take a lot of effort to get a regular license plate on the car. It would be fine if it has a navy license plate.
Luo Wenzhong's eyes lit up: "Pajero? Of course that's the best. These old 212s we have should have been replaced a long time ago, but military expenses are tight!"
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Navy had been patient. Even a few Pajeros had to be reported and approved, which was a very long process. If Qin Tao could get it here, it would be easy.
With a few words, one thing was agreed upon, and Qin Tao's mood improved. He looked at the scenery along the way and hummed a tune.
“I kept asking, when will you come with me...”
After singing the song, the car finally hummed and drove into the gate of the headquarters.
meeting room.
Qin Tao opened a roll of printed design drawings, pulled out the first one, and hung it on the projection screen in front of the conference room.
When Qin Tao unfolded the design drawing, everyone in the conference room was in an uproar.
"What's this?"
“Why does it look so weird?”
What Qin Tao wants is this effect, with a smile on his face: "Everyone, what I want to introduce to you first is a variant of our catamaran, a stealth high-speed missile boat."
“Where are the missiles?” Zhang Zhen asked first.
There are missile boats in the army. Generally speaking, anti-ship missiles are placed at the tail. After all, there is only suitable space there. But now, in this design, although there is a bulge at the tail, it does not look like a missile launch tube at all!
“It’s at the tail.” Qin Tao explained, pointing to the design drawing of the 022 missile boat that he had made overnight.
There is a large inclined box structure on both sides of the rear section of the missile boat. This thing is used to accommodate anti-ship missile launchers. Depending on the size of the anti-ship missile, two or even two can be stuffed inside. The structures on both sides of the four anti-ship missiles are slightly tilted outward, so that after the missiles fly out, they can directly leave the superstructure in front.
“Why is this design necessary?” Zhang Zhen swallowed and asked.
"Of course it is for the sake of stealth." Qin Tao said: "Dear leaders, you should know that the era of stealth has arrived. Whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, stealth is considered as a factor in the new generation of weapons currently being developed. Considerations.”
"We are only talking about naval weapons. In 1983, the American Lockheed Martin Company developed a stealth test ship - the Sea Shadow stealth test ship. This test ship also adopted a catamaran structure. The superstructure is recycled upward. In this way, when the sea search radar on the opposite side emits radar waves, they are all reflected into the air, which greatly reduces the radar reflection area. Our design adopts the same idea. After this design, we This missile boat will greatly reduce the radar echo."
The Cold War is not over yet, and all countries are developing a large amount of advanced equipment. Stealth is definitely a high-end indicator.
The talk about catamaran passenger ships is all to deceive others. It is for technical verification. Once the verification is completed, it can be used on warships.
Qin Tao simply came up with the plan for the stealth missile boat. Looking at the faces of the people present, you can tell that they were completely moved.
“However, our warships are very large. Even missile boats have a displacement of several hundred tons. Does it make sense for such warships to pursue stealth?” Pang Jianmin asked.
"Of course it makes sense." Qin Tao said: "With this design, we can reflect 90% of the radar echo. Then on the enemy's radar screen, it changes from a warship with a displacement of several hundred tons to a warship with a displacement of several hundred tons. For a fishing boat with a displacement of tens of tons, if the wind and waves on the sea are bigger..."
"That means that the enemy's sea search radar may not be able to detect our presence in time!" Zhang Zhen took over the conversation excitedly: "This idea is very good!"
Even if only the YJ-81 anti-ship missile is used now, it still has a range of 40 kilometers. In surfy weather, this stealth-designed missile boat can completely disappear into the clutter of the waves, making it impossible for the enemy to detect and launch attack!
Not only the missile launch tube at the back, but also the hull part at the front has been designed to be stealthy. The shape of the entire missile boat looks a bit unconventional. However, if you consider the indicator of stealth, you can realize that The benefits of this design.
"Attention must also be paid to details, including the zigzag shape of each seam." Qin Tao said: "Although we are the first to eat crabs, I believe that this design will become a trend, and our navy , will also have an advanced weaponry. It is also in line with our current basic national conditions."
