Ship Knowledge, No. 9, 1989, the Walrus-class submarine with the X-tail rudder is impressive

I remember that I was still in junior high school, and ship knowledge was a must-buy magazine every month.

The frigate on the cover of this issue is uncommon and is dutch "Jacob. Fan. Hemscock "class frigate first ship" Jacob. Fan. USS Simscock.

There are two ships in this class, all of which entered service in 1986, with a displacement of about 4,000 tons, equipped with standard 1 and sea sparrow air defense missiles, as well as perfect radar electronics, with regional air defense capabilities, and are relatively advanced air defense frigates of that year. Compared with the destroyers and frigates that were equivalent to "naked running" against the air on the mainland at that time (the Hongqi 61 ship-to-air missiles equipped with frigates at that time were not yet mature), the air defense missiles on them were enviable.

The most impressive thing about this issue is the Dutch "Walrus-class submarine" introduced in the book, the streamlined hull and X-shaped rudder are refreshing, the class has a complete sonar and other electronic equipment, equipped with advanced torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, the performance is not bad. At that time, the main submarines of our army were still The 33-type R-class submarines and a small number of 035 Ming-class submarines, which was quite different from the world's advanced level.

The british Trafalgar-class attack submarine on the back cover is famous for sinking the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano in the previous Battle of the Falklands.

Well, gossip less, for everyone to present this issue of the magazine.
