The groundbreaking ceremony of CSSC Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base is undoubtedly the most powerful declaration issued by CSSC and even China's shipbuilding industry to the world, and the entire Chinese shipbuilding industry is talking about it.
Nanjin at the end of July is extremely hot, one of the famous four major furnaces, but it is not called in vain.
In a conference room of the 701 office building, many participants have come one after another, and what will be held here today is a special meeting on the selection and demonstration of the shipborne weapons of the new domestically produced dock landing ship.
Shen Huan was also fortunate to be invited to participate in this meeting, although he was not a person from the landing ship design and development unit, nor was he from the shipboard weapons design and development unit, but there is no doubt that he is now well-known in the entire Chinese shipbuilding industry system, so this time it was also Jin Hanlin, general manager of the China Shipbuilding Industry Group, who asked him to attend this meeting.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the participants arrived.
Shen Huan and Lin Miaoyu, the husband and wife, are both on the list of participants, which is also enviable, both husband and wife are developing very well, especially Shen Huan, it can be said that there is no one who does not know him.
The meeting was presided over by Zhu Qunying, chief designer of the new dock landing ship, and what participated in the selection of the shipboard weapons of the new dock landing ship today was actually the main gun and the close-in defense artillery weapon system.
The selection of the main gun is mainly the domestic new 76 mm naval gun and the 100 mm naval gun, while the weapon system of the close defense gun is determined between the domestic 730 close defense gun and the introduced AK630 close defense gun.
The new dock landing ship does not have a missile weapon system, because its main combat mission is to carry equipment and personnel, as long as there are some defensive weapons, it is enough, in an amphibious formation, the main air defense of the formation is destroyers and frigates, and the dock landing ship is just to prevent the fish that slip through the net, so it is enough to use naval guns.
Before coming to the meeting, Shen Huan and Lin Miaoyu discussed it privately, although Lin Miaoyu is not responsible for the shipboard weapon system, but she still agrees with Shen Huan's suggestion, that is, the domestic dock landing ship must have a high starting point in design, using the domestic 730 close defense gun, although the cost is higher, but the use efficiency is much better through AK630.
At the beginning of the meeting, Zhu Qunying took a serious look at the participants in the conference room, and then talked in a deep voice about the overall design of the new dock landing ship, in order to meet the technical requirements put forward by the navy, she took the design team to many places, naval forces, various ship system manufacturers, and research institutes.
The importance of the new dock landing ship to national defense construction, to the construction of a blue-water navy, and even to the development of larger and more advanced amphibious assault ships, are all very important, so the selection of shipborne weapon systems is also very important, this time came to the selection meeting of several naval gun design and development units, as well as representatives of production plants, as well as senior experts, today is to determine the shipboard weapon system of the new dock landing ship, so as to carry out follow-up design and development work.
Zhu Qunying also seemed very excited when she spoke, after all, she had just taken over the important task from the original chief division, from the deputy chief engineer to the chief division, responsible for such a large and important warship design task, how could she not be excited, so this time the selection meeting, she also did a lot of preparations, and also equipped with slides to display.
What catches everyone's eye is the two pictures on the left and right, both of which are huge warship hulls, but on the left is a three-dimensional picture of a new dock landing ship equipped with a 100-mm single-barreled naval gun and three 730 close-in defense guns, while on the right is a three-dimensional picture of a new dock landing ship equipped with a seven-six-mm single-barreled naval gun and four AK630 close-in defense guns.
Although the ship's weapons are different, everyone is attracted by the huge size and graceful lines of the new dock landing ship, and it even adopts a stealth design, which looks really beautiful, no less than the stealth design of the Type 052B destroyer.
Zhu Qunying said excitedly: "What you see are the two schemes we have designed, one is to adopt the single-barreled 100-millimeter naval guns that are widely equipped on China's new destroyers and three new 730 close-defense guns, and the other is to use the design scheme of a new 76-millimeter medium-caliber single-barreled naval gun with four AK630 close-in defense guns.
Of course, both of these options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the most important thing now is to discuss which one is more suitable for our new dock landing ship.
Next, I would like to ask Comrade Gao Ming, deputy chief engineer of our new seven- or six-millimeter single-barreled naval gun, to tell you about the performance characteristics of this naval gun, so that you can have a more intuitive understanding. ” A middle-aged man stood up confidently and said loudly: "Okay, I am a master of the 713 Institute, and I am fortunate to participate in the development of a new type of domestic seven-six-millimeter naval gun, for this naval gun, I want to say that it is developed by relevant domestic units organized by China at the end of the last century, and was identified by the national shooting range last year, and the design is finalized A new medium-caliber naval gun with stealth performance, which can destroy the enemy's three targets in the air, at sea and on shore, It weighs 11.5 tons and has a maximum rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute, which can be said to have reached the level of similar international naval guns in terms of performance. ” After a pause, Gao Ming said again: "I believe that everyone knows very well about the internationally famous Yili Alto seven- or six-millimeter naval gun, so we might as well start with this gun."
Yidali, like most European countries, has two calibers in the choice of naval guns, seven or six millimeters and one hundred and twenty-seven millimeters, which is not quite the same as in the early days of our country.
Let's talk about the 76-millimeter naval gun, which was launched in the early 70s, with a total weight of 7.5 tons and a rate of fire of 85 rounds per minute.
In the eighties, a modified version was introduced, with a rate of fire of one hundred and twenty rounds per minute.
This naval gun has excellent performance, and even the United States has introduced it and equipped it on Perry-class frigates......"
"In the end, it fell again to the choice of medium-caliber naval guns in our country.
Previously, we developed our 100-mm single-barreled naval gun based on the 100-mm naval gun of the French, and now this naval gun has been widely equipped on our destroyers, and its performance is also very good.
However, in the choice of medium-caliber naval guns, I think we have to talk about its adaptability and main combat mission.
Whether it is 100 millimeters or 76 millimeters, in addition to the air, they all take into account the tasks of striking at sea and on the ground.
Of course, a hundred-millimeter gun, due to the large weight of the projectile, is almost twice as large as that of a seven- or six-millimeter, so in terms of power, a hundred-millimeter gun has a great advantage.
It's just that today we will discuss the main gun equipped for the new dock landing ship, what is its main combat mission?
As Chief Commander Zhu Qunying said just now, its main combat mission is to intercept incoming targets from the air!
