We don’t build ships, we build fleets
Since the first Type 051 destroyer entered service in 1971, my country has begun to build its main surface warships independently. Previously, due to insufficient technology, the Navy’s large-scale ship construction was once difficult. From the service of the last 051B destroyer in 1991 to the service of two 052B destroyers in 2004, there were only 7 new type destroyers built by the Navy in more than ten years, and they were divided into 4 Model. Although this "small step and quick run" construction method can supplement the naval surface ship strength while accumulating ship building experience, it also reflects the shortcomings of China in the field of large-scale ship construction at that time. After all, if there is enough To build a sufficiently mature advanced ship with technology and strength, there is no such thing as a "quick run" construction method.
But this situation was quickly broken! Only one year after the second 052B destroyer entered service, the first 052C destroyer Lanzhou officially joined the navy. The 170 ship is my country's first large surface destroyer equipped with a missile vertical launch system and a large phased array radar at the same time. The appearance of the 170 ship means that my country's shipbuilding capabilities have risen to a new level! After the 6 052C ships, my country’s shipbuilding was even more out of control: the Navy adopted the "riot model" in the construction of the 052D destroyer, which was described as "we do not build ships, only fleets"!
The eighth ship 055 and the 25th ship 052D were launched on the same day
Recently, it was reported that the grand occasion was reappearing in the Dalian Shipyard. A 055 and a 052D were launched on the same day. The 055 destroyer No. 8 and the 052D destroyer No. 25 were launched. Recalling that the last two Type 051 destroyers 165 Zhanjiang and 166 Zhuhai were retired on the same day in the previous few days, some netizens laughed and said: This is anxious to vacate the ship numbers for the two newly launched shield ships!
The Navy's aircraft carrier formation has no 052C position
The launch of the two new shield ships on the same day represents the end of the Navy’s first wave of dumpling ship construction, but it will soon usher in the second wave! In the past ten years, the Navy has built four small, medium and large ships of 054A, 056, 052C/D, and 055. The number of 056 has reached 70, the number of 054 plus 054A is 32, and the number of 052C/D series is There are 31 ships, and 055 is 8 ships. In total, more than 100 new ships have not only quickly completed the replacement of naval ships, but also greatly improved the overall strength of the navy.
The second wave of shipbuilding climax will be mainly large ships. After all, hundreds of small and medium-sized ships are enough to use, and the next step will focus on strengthening the navy’s ocean-going combat capabilities. The second batch of 055 destroyers will apply a series of the latest technologies, such as one pit, four bombs, electromagnetic guns, etc., to continue to enhance the performance leadership of this 10,000-ton large drive. The improved version of the 052D 052DL may build several more, so The total number of this type of ship reached 30.
With the emergence of a large number of new types of ships, the former capital ships seemed a bit "dead", not only the earlier 051C and 052B, but also the Navy's first advanced shield ship 052C. At the beginning of the service of the Liaoning ship, the 054A frigate even appeared in the formation. Today, the number of 052D plus 055 has reached 33. According to the conventional scale of the aircraft carrier formation, these two destroyers are enough to meet the 6 aircraft carrier formations. That is to say, the current and future naval aircraft carrier formations have no 052C position.
