After the debut of the continental Type 055B destroyer, the Internet also attracted the attention of domestic and foreign media, this time the mainland has carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the Type 055B destroyer, and it is completely called "the strongest destroyer in the world"!
So the question is, how many destroyers does the mainland really need?
The 055 destroyer has been fully upgraded
With the development of the economy, the military science and technology of various countries have also improved rapidly, and the military strength of a country's navy has become the most indispensable part of the battlefield in addition to the army and air force.
In recent years, the mainland's maritime strength has made very rapid progress, and after the first batch of 055 large destroyers came out, the powerful performance has attracted great attention from all countries in the world.
The Type 055 destroyer is a destroyer with a displacement of 10,000 tons, which is the largest in Asia, and this destroyer completely crushes other countries, and even its displacement is higher than that of many countries' aircraft carriers.
In addition to power, the interior of the Type 055 destroyer is also equipped with advanced weapons and equipment from the mainland, so that the Type 055 destroyer has a super maritime combat capability.
However, at present, the eight Type 055 destroyers officially put into service still cannot meet the needs of the mainland at sea, so the mainland will start a comprehensive upgrade of Type 055 destroyers.
This upgrade is to be modified and upgraded on the basis of Type 005 to become the 005B destroyer, and it can be seen from the displacement alone that the improved 005B destroyer will be able to reach more than 15,000 tons.
This also shows that it will have a more powerful ability to carry at sea, and it can also carry more fuel, which greatly improves the endurance at sea.
At the same time, in addition to the improvement of endurance, the 005B destroyer has very strong firepower, and the weapons and ammunition it carries will also be improved, which effectively improves the combat effectiveness of the mainland navy, and also has a long-range strike capability on the 005B destroyer.
Moreover, the number of 005B destroyers built on the mainland this time will also exceed that of 005 destroyers, and will reach more than 12, not only that, but after the successful construction of 005B destroyers, it is likely that the 005B destroyers will be upgraded again in a relatively short time, and the third upgrade displacement will be at least more than 20,000 tons.
It has to be said that the mainland's military strength at sea has gradually come to a leading position.
In the 005B destroyer, the latest black-tech laser weapon system will also be used, which is definitely a threatening weapon in modern armament.
In the process of fighting, it can not only accurately hit the enemy, but also has a very fast speed to get the Sanskrit sound, and can quickly judge the interception time in defense, and has a strong anti-missile combat capability.
Then, some netizens will ask, with so much high technology, presumably the upgraded 055 destroyer construction price will not be cheap!
Why are 055B destroyers so expensive?
If you want to build a 055B destroyer, it will cost 6.5 billion!Why is the 055B destroyer so expensive?
As the most important destroyer on the mainland, it has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign media since the emergence of 055B, and it is called "the pride of China".
The 055B destroyer is also known as one of the most powerful destroyers in the world, which is fully capable of striking at all-round land, sea and air capabilities, and the 055B destroyer is also equipped with a 32-ton main gun, which is even more powerful.
Not only that, but the firing rate of the main gun is also amazing, with a super water cooling system, the main gun can fire at a rate of 40 rounds per minute, coupled with the world's most advanced electromagnetic wave technology, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the Type 055B destroyer.
This is not the point, in the body of the Type 055B destroyer, and there is a powerful black technology, its radar system is integrated with the mast, which can not only achieve a clean appearance, but also provide stealth functions for the warship, greatly improving the combat effect.
The Type 055B destroyer in the Pacific Ocean is like a nimble fish, although the Type 055B destroyer is equipped with a lot of technology and heavy weapons, so how does it manage to fight flexibly?
You must know that the first thing an ordinary warship needs to consider is the stability of the warship, so it will be greatly limited in flexibility, and there is no way to move freely through the sea.
However, this problem is well avoided on the Type 055B destroyer, the battleship uses electromagnetic propulsion technology, which is also the most outstanding propulsion technology in the field of propulsion system, which is twice as fast as ordinary ships!
This also proves once again that the mainland has reached the world's top level in terms of the construction of large warships, both in terms of technical level and production capacity.
What is the difference between 05500000 tons and 052?
In fact, the 055 destroyer has much more radar than the 052 destroyer, which also shows that the newly developed 055 destroyer is better in positioning and cruising, and the ship is also equipped with a meter-wave band control system to monitor stealth fighters.
Moreover, on the ships of 055, large anti-submarine helicopters can be parked, which also proves that 055 can escort ships within a sea area of hundreds of miles, while 052 can only carry relatively small anti-submarine helicopters, which can no longer meet the needs of the mainland in the current sea area.
The most important thing is that the Type 055 destroyer is equipped with various missiles, which is a good match of medium and long-range and anti-submarine missiles, and has strong combat capabilities, which is enough to see that the Type 055 destroyer has become the level of the world's advanced warships.
China's naval strength
With the rapid development of the mainland navy in recent years, it has successfully squeezed into the forefront of the world, and although there is still some distance between it and the US navy, these distances have been gradually shortened.
According to the data, by 2023, the total tonnage of the Chinese Navy will reach 2.9 million tons, closely following the United States, including two aircraft carriers and several destroyers, and other large combat ships.
Moreover, in recent years, the mainland has been training more and more of its navy, often carrying out some long-distance combat strategies, and its combat capability is also constantly rising, and now it has carried out escort missions in many sea areas.
What is even more surprising is that with the increase of the mainland's maritime strength, the mainland's shipbuilding industry is also constantly improving, and the annual output can reach 23 million tons, which is difficult to achieve for any Western country, you must know that the United States' shipbuilding capacity is only more than 200,000 tons, and the gap of more than 200 times is not something that can catch up in a while.
At present, the mainland's maritime technology strength has increased substantially, and it has repeatedly broken through difficulties to achieve independent research and development, creating countless miracles.
Nowadays, the great strength of the Chinese Navy has been recognized by all countries in the world, and at the same time, to a certain extent, it has curbed the hegemonic behavior of the United States and some unscrupulous behaviors, and it is believed that in the coming time, the strength of the Chinese Navy will become stronger and stronger!
