Chapter 68: The Prototype of the Type 052B Ship


Although he was the last to sit with him, but to be able to participate in an academic seminar of this level, Shen Huan naturally sat upright, waiting to listen to the speeches of the old experts.

First of all, Feng Haibo, general manager of Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group, delivered a speech, followed by Hu Wenming, director of the Organization and Personnel Department of the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, and finally Zhao Jinfu, director of the 701 Ship Design and Research Institute under the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, delivered a speech.

Fortunately, several leaders did not speak for a long time, after all, this is an academic conference, and it is mainly an academic exchange.

Next, the old experts spoke freely and published a lot of academic views on the development of Changxing in the south of the Yangtze River and the development of China's shipbuilding industry in the past century, as well as the development of China's military industry and the development of China's naval industry, etc., which are mainly some historical research.

However, halfway through the meeting, the style of painting immediately changed, and it was the turn of Zhao Jinfu, director of the 701 Ship Design and Research Institute, to speak, and he opened the PPT and projected a structural drawing of a battleship onto a curtain in the conference room.

Shen Huan looked at this structural diagram, and his heart was immediately excited, this is clearly the prototype of the new generation of naval main equipment, the 052B missile destroyer!

It's just that its shape is still very different from what it looks like when it was actually launched later, after all, this should be a drawing that has not yet reached the frozen design state.

Shen Huan thought about it, if he remembered correctly, the first Type 052B missile destroyer was built on December 1, 1999 at the Changxing Shipyard in Jiangnan, and was launched on May 4, 2002.

The second Type 052B missile destroyer was also built in Changxing, Jiangnan, and the start date of construction was also similar to the first one, but the construction of the second began three months later.

Of course, this type of missile destroyer is a transitional type of equipment, after all, it has a displacement of less than 6,000 tons, and there is no advanced Aegis system, and the anti-aircraft missile only has a single-arm launcher, and those things are still weapons and equipment introduced together with the modern destroyer, and now it is only a prototype, and some domestic shipboard weapons and equipment are still painted on it.

Everyone present stared closely at the structural drawing, Zhao Jinfu turned to the people in the venue, and said loudly: "I think everyone has seen it, this is the preliminary design drawing of the new generation of domestic missile destroyers undertaken by our 701, why do you want to show it to everyone?"

Because the new generation of domestic missile destroyers will be built by our Jiangnan Changxing shipyard.

At present, it is still in the preliminary design stage, so I would like to widely solicit all the leading experts here, as well as the representatives of the Navy, your opinions are very useful to our designers!

Let me briefly talk about our design ideas, as well as the main design indicators of this type of destroyer!

” Shen Huan saw the preliminary design status of the Type 052B missile destroyer for the first time, although he had also participated in the construction of this type of ship, but at that time, he had just entered Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding for only three years, and he had not been able to touch these core things.

But this rebirth has changed the trajectory of history, and the moment he saw the preliminary design of the 052B missile destroyer, Shen Huan reappeared in front of his eyes the scene when the Type 052B missile destroyer was launched!

Although this destroyer is not very advanced, it can be said that the radar weapons and other equipment on the modern-class destroyers have been transferred to the hull of the independently designed and built ship, and it still has not gotten rid of the influence of the former Soviet Union's warship design concept.

Of course, this is also a very helpless choice, 052B can of course be designed and built better, even if it still uses those equipment, but at least in terms of ship design, appearance and stealth, some improvements can be made, so that it has better stealth capabilities, navigation capabilities and so on.

Shen Huan was already a little impatient, he didn't want to speak at this academic seminar, unless it was the leader's roll call.

But now he can't help but want to stand up and express his opinions, but he also knows very well that he is too young, and it is already a miracle to be able to sit here, if he rashly stands up and makes suggestions, I am afraid that experts will also think that this young man is too eager to express himself, and once Shen Huan's views and suggestions are thrown out, I am afraid that the experts will be shocked, and it is difficult to say whether he can adopt his suggestions, because his views and suggestions may be more advanced.

Director Zhao Jinfu's loud voice pulled Shen Huan back from his memories back into the conference room.

Standing next to the PPT projection, Zhao Jinfu pointed to the parameter column on the drawing and said: "The navy has given us the indicators for the design, requiring that the standard displacement of this type of ship is not less than 5,000 tons, and the full load displacement is not more than 6,000 tons, which is mainly subject to the lack of our ship design and ship power, if the displacement is increased, it may produce very large technical risks."

For example, you can also see that on our preliminary design drawings, the installation is still our domestically produced point defense air defense missile, this is because our air defense weapon system is still in a newly developed technical state, and it is really difficult to say whether it can be put on board the ship as scheduled, and it seems that it is relatively difficult at present.

Of course, we also have another plan, that is, to introduce a mature regional air defense weapon system from abroad and integrate it into this type of ship, but at present, it seems that the introduction of a weapon system with regional air defense capability is only Russia has this intention, and it is impossible to introduce it from Western countries!

……” Zhao Jinfu introduced in detail, there were many experts at this meeting, as well as representatives of the Navy stationed in the factory, after listening to Zhao Jinfu's introduction, everyone was silent.

This type of future Chinese navy main equipment, from the design index, is a lot worse than those naval power destroyers, whether it is its displacement, weapons and equipment and radar system, as well as its power system, can not be compared with those powerful naval destroyers, this is also a very helpless choice, because the technical level of China's military industry system is like this, it is even more difficult to introduce from abroad.

After introducing the preliminary design of this type of destroyer, Zhao Jinfu said with emotion: "Comrades, this is the relevant situation of the design of our new generation of missile destroyers, and now everyone can freely express their opinions, and we will pool our wisdom to design it as perfect as possible, and strive to make it exceed the expectations of the naval leaders." ” Exceeding expectations?

I'm afraid this is difficult, in the minds of the naval leaders, it must be at least the modern class, a big guy with a full load displacement of 8,000 tons, is the main destroyer they expect!

Who is there who does not invite Chu?

In 1980, when the Chinese Navy generals visited the United States to visit the US Navy's aircraft carriers and the latest Spruance-class destroyer of the US Navy at that time, the US Navy's equipment brought the kind of shock to the Chinese Navy generals!
