Jiaran's two fleets come from two completely hostile countries. However, the two fleets of Liligongli warships have similar similarities. In the fleet heading to Naha Port, the main force is 8 new warships called "non-direct aiming maritime firepower delivery platforms". In the fleet passing through the Panama Canal, the main force is female new warships called "advanced maritime tactical testing platform". Judging from the naming, there must be some connection between the two.

There is indeed a connection between the two, and it is a relatively close connection.

As we all know, as early as many years ago, the Republic's Navy achieved results with electromagnetic cannons on large warships. Although it was against the already defeated South Korean fleet at that time, the ability of electromagnetic cannons to strike against the sea was confirmed in the battle in the southern waters of Jeju Island. In the subsequent Japanese war and Indian war, the Republic's Navy's electromagnetic cannons not only performed well in ground strikes, but also performed well in sea combat. Because it was necessary to use electromagnetic cannons to deal with seas.

When the target was reached, the Japanese Navy and the Indian Navy had been defeated. Therefore, in these two wars, the Republic's Navy's electromagnetic guns were aimed at civilian ships and paramilitary ships with no combat effectiveness or only limited combat effectiveness. The military significance of naval battles was not very great. Until the Peninsula War in the young years, the electromagnetic guns had a few opportunities to perform on the naval battle stage. It can be said that the Navy has never treated electromagnetic guns as the main sea-making weapon. It has a lot to do with its few combat records.

,Wang Fabibei

Of course, the Navy is not trapped in denying the sea-making combat effectiveness of electromagnetic guns.

According to unconfirmed information, before the end of Hunan, shortly after the Republican authorities made a strategic decision to prepare for the world war, the Republic's Navy used the supercomputer of the National Computing Center to be precisely rented. The supercomputer group specially built for the military had not been completed. Using the previous naval war information, a comprehensive analysis of the future naval war was made. It is based on the conclusions drawn from this analysis. The Republic's Navy formulated a year-long pre-war development rule, which was later extended to 7 years. In this plan, there were warships code-named "Architecture Sea Ship" and electromagnetic guns were the main weapon. After the year, the project was officially renamed "Indirect aiming at maritime firepower delivery ships" and its development result was the warships mentioned above.

From the point of time, this news has a relatively high credibility.

According to the relevant information released by the Republic Navy after the war, around the Tiannian period, the "Not-direct aiming maritime firepower delivery platform" project was officially launched. Because time was tight, the theoretical research work of the project only took half a year to start the design at the end of the Tiannian period. The design work was completed before the end of the year. In other words, from the establishment of the project to the completion of the design, the clams were used. According to the management method of the Republic's Navy equipment procurement work, the R&D code would definitely be replaced with the equipment code. Therefore, at this time, the "Not-direct aiming maritime firepower delivery platform" should be officially named. Because it adopts a fully modular design and the construction of some secondary functional modules began before the design was completed, the first batch of warships were built and put into service in less than 4 years.

As mentioned earlier, the new generation of cruisers of the Republic's Navy strengthened artillery fire and increased the displacement a lot.

It is obvious that the displacement of the "non-direct aiming maritime firepower delivery platform" with electromagnetic guns as the only sea-controlling weapon is definitely much larger than that of the cruiser equipped with only three first-generation spiral electromagnetic guns. According to the design standards announced by the Republic's Navy, the standard displacement of this type of warship exceeds that of the strong hood. According to the balance of paste, the full load displacement is about silly ton, and the actual maximum displacement must exceed 0.0 tons.

Building such a warship of nearly 10,000 tons will definitely not be kept confidential, let alone 8 ships built at the same time.

Because replacing anti-ship missiles and ship-based aviation with large-caliber electric horizontal cannons was the main direction of naval development, the Republic's Navy attracted the attention of the US Navy when it launched the "Architecture Seaship". It also attracted the high attention of the US intelligence agencies. There is enough reason to believe that before the past years, the US Navy also had similar plans, and the US intelligence agencies must have mastered a lot of information about "Architecture Seaship".

Not to mention, the appearance of the US Navy's "Advanced Maritime Tactical Test Platform" is very similar to the Republic Navy's "non-direct aiming maritime firepower delivery platform", and it looks a little rough. Therefore, it is completely believed that the US Navy "copy the development results of the Republic Navy and has not learned very well.

This is also easy to understand. "Not direct aiming at the maritime firepower delivery platform" is a new concept of sea-making ship. It not only has a strange appearance, but also has a completely different tactical use from previous warships. Even if it can be imitated, it can only be seen at most, and it is difficult to master its essence.

In fact, even many officers and soldiers of the Republic's Navy could not understand this new type of warship and the new tactics they represented.

From the appearance alone, the "Qin" class, named after the country in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, was officially named by the Navy as the "Qin" class. In general, naval officers and soldiers called it gunboats or battleships, while Western countries called it battleships or battleships. Therefore, the battleships that were commonly called later had little in common with any kind of warships in history. Instead, they were somewhat similar to the hook fighters of the Navy Aviation Army, that is, the entire battleship was in a regular polygon, and the outer surface was very smooth and there were almost no protrusions.

In terms of basic ship type, the Qin class abandoned the two-body and three-body structures commonly used by high-speed ships. Instead, it returned to the original design and was a monohull. Of course, it is definitely not an ammunition ship in the sense of play. Judging from the appearance alone, the hull of the Qin class is very similar to the heart of the US Navy designed in the early 2000s, namely the Zumtiert class destroyer, that is, the part above the hull waterline is tilted inward and very smooth. The difference is that the Qin class extended this inclined structure to the parts below the hull waterline, and it stretched to about 7 meters, and then it was transferred and retracted to form a blunt-shaped ship bottom. Affected by this, many people believe that the bottom structure of the Qin class is mainly for defending against torpedoes and improving its survival after being hit by torpedoes.

In fact, the bottom design of the Qin class ship is not related to resisting torpedo attacks and terrorism wells and improving survivability. The purpose of this design is only one, that is, on the basis of monohull type, the navigation speed reaches the naval tactical indicators, that is, the maximum speed exceeds the blade joint. It is precisely because of this that the Qin class adopts a draft structure of "shallow in front and deep in the back". That is, the keel of the warship is not horizontal, but tilts backward from the head, reaching the peak when about one quarter of the length of the ship, and then tucking it away towards the stern. Combined with the special bottom structure, the underwater part of the Qin class is actually a huge surf body. When sailing at high speed, the bottom of the ship has the effect of an aircraft wing, that is, it produces a buoyancy equivalent to 60% of the displacement of the warship, reducing the draft, reducing the wet area, and reducing navigation resistance. To make an image metaphor, the Qin class is a speedboat that has been magnified hundreds of times!

If it makes sense to use a special underwater structure to increase the speed, then the "Qin"-level overwater structure is difficult to understand.

The first thing is to do is not to use a monohull type, rather than a catamaran and trihull type that are more conducive to increasing speed. According to the answer given by the Navy, "The Qin class does not undertake the task of supporting aviation operations, and the area of ​​the Jiahuan is not high, so there is no need to use a multihull type. Obviously, this principle does not make sense at all, because the main advantage of multihull type is not to provide a wide deck. Instead, to increase navigation speed, the aircraft carriers before the "Chongqing" class were all monohull types, and they still have very huge flight decks.

.From the actual situation, the main purpose of the "Qin" class to adopt a monohull type should be to reduce the area of ​​the bombardment. You must know that as a warship that uses electromagnetic guns to fight, you must consider the survival problem when being bombarded by the enemy. Because electromagnetic guns have high ballistic firepower and shells fall almost vertically. Therefore, the width of the hull has become the main indicator for measuring the rate of bomb attacks and is also the main factor restricting survivability. Mu Yong doubts that warships with wide deck area will definitely be more likely to be hit by smashed shells.

Affected by this, the water structure of the "Qin" class is almost a replica of the underwater structure, but it is even more exaggerated. From the front, the warship is a triangle, with the side walls extending straight upward from the waterline at the inclination angle of the occupancy and intersecting above the midline of the hull. Because the bow of the ship is an acute triangle, from the side, it extends backward from the waterline at the waterline at the bow of the ship. It reaches the peak at about one-third of the captain of the ship, and then extends downward at a descent of the degree. Finally, it is folded to a level about a force meter from the stern, leaving a flight deck with an area of ​​less than a square meter. Although from the basic appearance, the "Qin" class has no essential difference from the warships in the early 2nd century, that is, it is

There is an obvious superstructure, with a flight deck for helicopter vertical take-off and landing aircraft at the rear, and various weapons and equipment are arranged along the center line of the warship. It is only nuclear power, so there is no smoke and white. In addition, the electronic equipment antenna and weapon ammunition projection window with a shape-proof design are used, and no obvious protrusions can be seen. However, after careful analysis, you can find that "Qin. class is a warship that cannot be stable by manpower control, because the center of gravity of the ship is in front of the buoyancy center, that is, when the warship is definitely in an unstable state when it is sailing, the bow of the ship will sink under the sea, so it can only rely on computer control, and the navigation attitude must be constantly adjusted to sail stably.

This difference makes the Qin class fundamentally different from any previous warship.

You should know that before this, no warship dared to adopt unstable structures. Of course, the biggest benefit of this unstable structure is that the maneuverability of warships is greatly improved, especially the steering ability during high-speed navigation. No warship in the past can be compared.

It can be seen from this that the "Qin" class is a warship with very high requirements for timing mobility.

This is the key point. For a large warship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, is it necessary to pay so much attention to maneuverability?

Before this, even destroyers did not attach so much importance to mobility.

The reason is very simple. In naval battles, large warships equipped with large caliber electric collision guns and long-range cruise missiles do not need to get close to the enemy at all, so they only need to consider the threat of enemy anti-ship missiles and long-range ammunition. The interception system's ability to deal with anti-ship missiles is definitely more reliable than the maneuverability of warships. It is also worth paying attention to. More importantly, as a combat platform, whether it is an aircraft carrier, cruiser or destroyer, has high requirements for navigation stability, and does not focus on improving maneuverability by sacrificing stability.

From this design, it can be seen that the "Qin" class is a warship used to engage in artillery battles with the enemy.

You should know that only dense bomb rain cannot be dealt with by the interception system and forced electromagnetic interference system, and the only thing that can create bomb rain is the large-caliber electromagnetic cannon on the warship.

Since you are born for artillery battles, you must have enough naval guns.

There are 6 large-caliber electromagnetic cannons on this battleship with a displacement of more than the largest tonnage in history. Although in terms of absolute numbers, it is not as good as the battleships during World War II. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the "Qin" class is definitely the most powerful gunboat ever.

In terms of the number of electromagnetic cannons equipped alone, the Qin class exceeded all previous warships, which only refer to combat ships built according to military standards, rather than firepower ships built under civilian standards. More importantly, the Qin class is equipped with "heavy electric bump guns specially developed for them."

, Wanbi

According to the information released by the Navy of the Republic, the Qin-class electromagnetic gun has 7 types of shells, mainly equipped with Qing-class shells. That is, the kilogram-level semi-armor-piercing shells, the kilogram-level high-explosive shells and the net-kilogram-level cluster sub-compartment bullets. Without exception, these three commonly used shells are semi-guided ammunition, that is, only the ballistic correction system and no last-stage guidance system. Because it is a spiral electromagnetic gun, the range of the "Qin-class" main gun has no much relationship with the type of ammunition, and can also use extended-range ammunition, but it is determined by the launch energy, that is, by adjusting the output energy during launch, the shells are given different muzzle kinetic energy, so that the shells can obtain different ballistic altitudes, thereby determining the basic range. More importantly, the spiral electromagnetic gun is a non-contact electromagnetic gun, that is, the shells do not contact with the accelerated track, so the "Qin-class main gun can use all small-caliber shells, such as stacking in the navy's ammunition bank.

The most common branch-level shells that can afford to the ground-based aid mission are capable of being able to deal with most of the time-consuming sub-level shells, which is the force of the acceleration coil, is 0 kilograms.

Compared with the huge caliber, what is even more amazing is its amazing rate of fire. According to the data released by the Navy, the maximum rate of fire of the "Qin" class main gun reaches the blade fire per minute. Although it can only be fired at this speed for a second, that is, projecting a kilogram-level shell at a standard initial velocity. If 6 guns fire at the same time, they can also project young shells to the target at the same time to achieve an astonishing bombardment density. Under normal circumstances, the "Qin class main gun fires per minute, and can fire at such a speed for old minutes, or fire at a rate of fire per minute. If all kilogram-level shells are projected, it is equivalent to the "Qin" class being able to project within a bell, blink 0 shells, or four tons of shells in an hour, while the 8 "Qin class being in, the projection of the shells within an hour exceeds the projection of all electromagnetic guns on all escort warships in the battle group of 3 aircraft carriers.

Behind the amazing projection ability, there is even more amazing range.

Although according to the data released by the Republic Navy, the maximum range of the "Qin-class main gun is to assist kilometers, according to many practical combat examples, this is likely to be the maximum effective range of the "Qin-class when fighting alone, that is, the maximum measurement distance of the sighting system on the battleship. With support and assistance, the "Qin-class main gun is fully capable of firing kilograms of shells to, persuade kilograms, or even, from a thousand meters. If you use kilograms of shells, the maximum range may even exceed four thousand meters. Of course, in actual combat, the farthest battle record set by the "Qin-class" class is to return kilograms, and it was created when using kilograms of shells. From the actual combat analysis, what affects the range is no longer the output energy of the electromagnetic gun, but the accuracy of the unguided shells at ultra-long range. To be precise, if you cannot hit the target, no matter how long the range is, it has no practical significance.

No matter what, even the effective range of Jinqian meters is enough to make the "Qin" class a sea-controlling battleship.

You should know that if you can get air maintenance, you will block the enemy's fighter planes from Zhiqian meters away, making it impossible for enemy planes to launch attacks with anti-ship missiles. The Qin class is fully capable of defeating Jun's enemy ships with electromagnetic cannons, and even destroying the enemy's aircraft carrier battle groups.

In fact, the most mysterious thing at the "Qin" level is definitely not its heavy naval gun.

In any case, this heavy electromagnetic gun specially developed for the "Qin" class is the patent of the Navy and the patent of large naval ships. Not only can the Army not use it, but also small and medium-sized navy ships.

Not to mention whether this set of electromagnetic guns can be disassembled and installed on dozens of vehicles, the four-kilogram-level shells can also become a nightmare for the army's logistics supply. Coupled with the amazing fire rate, the army can stay away from it. You must know that the army not only has no love for kilogram-level shells, but also does not use kilogram-level shells on a large scale. In the case of a ship, such as kilogram-level shells can cope with all ground battles, and there is no need to equip the more powerful electromagnetic gun system at all.

For a warship, survivability is a tactical indicator as important as strike ability.

As mentioned earlier, many people believe that many special designs of the "Qin" class are considered for survival ability. This is true. After all, any large warship will consider survival ability when designing. The problem is that the "Qin class is definitely not the kind of "battleship equipped with electromagnetic guns" that many people speculate that there is no heavy armor. It can also be seen from the displacement that according to the standards of the battleship, that is, the armor thickness of the key parts must be able to resist the attack of armor-piercing bombs fired by their main guns within a normal combat distance. Then the displacement of the "Qin" class is not a concave and trough. Even if the latest high-strength alloy armor is used, its standard displacement will exceed ten thousand tons of force!

If you can't rely on armor, you can only rely on active defense systems.

The problem is that as mentioned earlier, any active defense system seems powerless in the face of the rain of bullets dropped by electric collision cannons. Actual combat has also proved this point. As long as the ammunition's projection density is large enough, no tactical defense performance can intercept all shells. More importantly, the electromagnetic gun can also project sub-compounds, and the co-combustion can be thrown clustered ammunition at high altitude. Facing the dense sub-combustion, the interception system will be even more ineffective.

The Republic's Navy has always regarded it as a secret for the defense capabilities of the "Qin" level.

After the war, the Republic's Navy only released some information, such as the Qin class has the ability to defend against energy-concentrating ammunition, and can effectively defend against some kinetic ammunition, and has advanced system defense capabilities. In short, the Republic's Navy has been silent on the issue of what defense technology was used.

Affected by this, we can only guess the defense and survivability of this epoch-making warship through analyses.

First of all, it is certain that the "Qin" class must have a passive defense capability far exceeding the previous warships, but it is definitely not achieved by increasing the thickness of the armor. From the space occupation rate of the power system of up to gills, that is, the proportion of the power system occupying the entire ship's space, the "Qin" class is likely to use "energy armor". To put it bluntly, it is to destroy and destroy the protective armor-piercing effect of ammunition through electrical energy, fluid kinetic energy, high-temperature internal energy, etc. The most primitive is the piezoelectric armor produced by the British at the beginning of the century, that is, the high-voltage current generated when the armor-piercing bomb or high-temperature jet passes through two layers of armor plates with voltage difference of up to a few tens of millions of volts, thereby greatly reducing the armor-piercing bomb and high-temperature jet. In addition, Israel

The scientists also proposed the concept of "fluid armor," that is, the characteristic of using liquids that are not easy to compress and will generate tangential forces when subjected to external forces to destroy the stability of armor-piercing shells and the continuity of high-temperature jets, thereby reducing the ability to pierce armor. Of course, these new concepts have long been tested and have been proven to be relatively effective. The problem is that the mass of these armors is not light. It is very unrealistic to use on large warships. From this we can see that the Republic's Navy has definitely developed a more advanced energy armor, such as armor protected by strong magnetic fields. Of course, this kind of protection was only a threshold for the original course of protection in Tishan before the New Year. That is, the huge energy needs to be known. The Hao-class is a warship with electromagnetic guns as the main combat weapon, and the requirements for the power system must be very high. It has the ability to provide sufficient energy for energy armor.

Secondly, the Qin class must have a more advanced interception system. In any case, any passive defense method cannot ensure that the warship is foolproof. In fact, no warship can avoid war sinking by enhancing passive defense. To improve the survivability of the warship, active defense must be strengthened, that is, the combat efficiency of the interception system. In other words, the interception system must have the ability to intercept artillery shells. It must also have the ability to intercept more targets at the same time, and even automatically adjust according to the nature of the target.

Output energy to maximize interception efficiency. Unfortunately, until the end of World War III, the Republic's Navy did not disclose the main performance of the interception system equipped by the Qin-class battleship. Through the battle situation during the war, it can only be determined that the interception system of the Qin-class battleship is different from the previous interception systems. Not only has the combat effectiveness been improved several times, but the combat methods are also very different. Of course, this sentence should be said in reverse, that is, because new combat methods are adopted, the combat effectiveness is greatly improved.

From the perspective of measuring the combat effectiveness of warships, a warship with excellent offensive means and powerful defense capabilities is a powerful warship.

Of course, like there is no perfect warship in the world.

If there are any shortcomings of the "Qin" level, at least one thing has been recognized by everyone, that is, its very limited continuous combat capability.

This can also be seen from the configuration of its weapon system.

According to the data released by the Republic's Navy, the proportion of the weapon system of the "Qin" class is only the hospital, that is, the quality of the weapon system is only the standard displacement, the hospital. There is no doubt that this is a relatively low indicator. You should know that before the "Qin" class, this indicator of cruisers was often on the left and right gills. Since there were no warships similar to the "Qin" class in the past, it could only compare the closest cruisers. Calculated according to this ratio, the "Qin" class weapon system does not include the fire control system, which is counted as the electronic equipment. Even if the "Qin" class

There are no other long-range weapons, and the interception system is calculated into the defense system. The quality of the electromagnetic gun itself is still the standard of cruisers according to the calculation of the rosy. The "Qin" class ammunition depot only has the auxiliary stew shells, which is about fierce. The launching kilograms of shells is the maximum estimate, because the quality of the ammunition depot itself and the quality of the raised ammunition system are not calculated. With the "Qin" class firepower level, even if the fire is opened at a normal speed, the shells will be exhausted within 0 minutes. The amount of ammunition reserved for only the old minutes of combat is indeed scary.

Of course, this is not the case.

, Can

In sea-making operations, the Qin-class will definitely not continue to fire, but will use a short and rapid fire. After a volley, the bullet situation will be evaluated, and then the aiming point will be adjusted. Then the fire will be fired. In this way, even if the maximum continuous fire time is only a few minutes, the actual combat time will be several hours. If you perform ground support tasks, it will not be a problem, because the main gun of the Qin-class can use kilograms and kilograms of shells. Most of the time, it is dealt with fixed targets on the ground, so the ammunition consumption is definitely not as amazing as that of sea-making operations.

In short, this defect of the "Qin" level has become the main factor restricting its combat use.

In fact, after the construction of 8 "Qin" and 8 "Tang" classes were named after historical dynasties and were minor modifications of "Qin" classes. The main performance indicators were exactly the same as those of "Qin" classes, the third type of the Republic's Navy, that is, the "Han" class, was named after the national name. Without the increase in the number of main guns, the standard displacement increased to 100 tons, that is, 4 0 tons of ports were increased. This was equivalent to an increase in the yinzhu. In the increased displacement, the weapon system occupied the gills. Most of them were used to increase the carrying capacity of ammunition and adopt new structural ammunition depots with higher safety standards.

This change is enough to show that even the Republic's Navy cannot withstand the "Qin"-level ammunition reserve capacity.

You should know that the "Han" class built a must-have ship in one go. It was the most built main ship of the Republic's Navy during the entire war, and it was also the absolute main force of the Republic's Navy during the war.

Some people may ask, "There are only 6 electromagnetic guns on the battleship with a strong ton of warship?

If the laser cannons, particle beam cannons and small-caliber electromagnetic cannons in the interception system are not counted, the Qin class does have only electric cannons, and there are no other offensive weapons. Of course, when necessary, three vertical take-off and landing anti-submarine patrol aircraft can also carry missiles and bombs to perform attack tasks.

It can be said that this is also a place where the "Qin" level has been criticized.

You should know that in a cruiser with more than 20,000 tons, in addition to 3 electromagnetic guns, there are also multiple missiles and vertical take-off and landing aircraft with attack capabilities. Even if the Qin-class electromagnetic guns have 6, and the caliber is much larger, it is indeed too difficult to install them without equiping other main combat weapons. Of course, this firepower arrangement is enough to prove that the Republic's Navy has enough confidence in the power of large-caliber electromagnetic guns. More importantly, after the Qin-class, other major battleships were only equipped with large-caliber electromagnetic guns, and no other offensive weapons. If it is from the large-caliber

Judging from the appearance of the electromagnetic cannon in actual combat, if this configuration is relatively reasonable, it will be difficult for people to accept it without a long-range air defense system. You should know that even an aircraft carrier with heavily protected, in addition to an interception system, there are several sets of short-range air defense missiles with a range of more than kilometers. Even so, when facing air threats, especially cluster attacks of anti-ship missiles, the fleet's air defense systems seem to be unscrupulous, let alone the main ship without a long-range air defense system? Of course, this is also the main reason why the "Qin" class needs to be equipped with escort warships.

The problem is here. With the "Qin"-level displacement, adding some air defense systems should not be a problem.

From another perspective, if the Qin class does not have sufficient comprehensive combat capabilities, what is the difference between it and a firepower ship equipped with an interception system? As a warship, especially the main battleship with a volume of tens of thousands of tons. It is the most basic important to have a basic "quality" of a warship, even if it does not start from a military perspective, from an economic perspective, it is much more cost-effective to equip the Qin class with regional air defense systems than to provide it with a cruiser with regional air defense capabilities. Besides, the Republic has the ability to build an old 10,000-ton super aircraft carrier, which increases the displacement of the Qin class by 10,000 tons, which will not cause any problems to the construction work.

It can be said that, under the circumstances at that time, the Republic's Navy had no reason to be so stingy."

Interestingly, the Tang and Han levels are not equipped with regional air defense systems. The Tang and Han levels are not well said. After all, the same basic design is adopted as the Qin levels, and the changes are not large. The displacement has not increased much, so it is normal not to have regional air defense systems. However, for the Han levels with a standard displacement of more than 10,000 tons, it is completely incomprehensible. You must know that you only need to reduce the reserve amount of each main gun of the Han level to stew it, and you can equip it with an area air defense system that can intercept and intercept a target in a battle, so that its defense capability is improved. No matter how it is calculated, this is a very small-scale transaction, and the Republic's Navy has no reason to refuse.

In fact, according to some unreliable news, before the construction of the "Han" class, the Military Ship Design Institute of the Jiangnan Shipyard, which was responsible for designing and building, has repeatedly proposed that regional air defense systems should be added to the "Han" class. Even if it is just a streamlined regional air defense system on multi-purpose destroyers, it can greatly improve the comprehensive combat efficiency of the "Han" class. As a result, several proposals were rejected by the Navy. This is true, many people believe that the main ships lost by the Republic's Navy during the war, the stubborn naval commander and the Navy Logistics Director, should bear the greatest responsibility.

Of course, this does show that the Navy is a very stubborn army.

The problem is that if you look at it from another perspective, you can find that it also proves the navy's trust in new tactics and its high awareness of the development direction of naval warfare. Imagine that if large-caliber electromagnetic guns will completely replace anti-ship missiles, just like! More than four years ago, aviation bombs and aviation torpedoes completely replaced armor-piercing bombs of giant cannons, then what is the value of the regional air defense system to deal with anti-ship missiles? Just as the heavy armor against armor-piercing bombs is meaningless in front of aviation bombs and aviation torpedoes, the regional air defense system will sooner or later be eliminated.

Although this does not mean that the air defense system is worthless. After all, on the ground battlefield, aviation and cruise missiles still have a lot of room to play, so the regional air defense system has value. On the ocean battlefield, because warships need to cover the Marines on the island, the navy also needs regional air defense systems, but this does not mean that the regional air defense system needs to be installed on the main ship. In any case, the aircraft carrier is not equipped with regional air defense systems.

It can be seen from this that the "Qin" class is the main battleship. It replaces the aircraft carrier, rather than the escort warship.

After clarifying this positioning, the Navy will naturally stick to its own opinions. That is, do not equip the Qin class with any offensive weapons that are not related to the main strike means, and even the defense system will focus on self-defense. All the others are handed over to the escort warships to maximize the combat effectiveness of the main battleship.

From the perspective of fleet combat, this is definitely the most effective development direction.

Even if you look back a little further, when the main battleship is engaged, in order to avoid accidental injury, escort "the warships will hide dozens of kilometers away. However, the combat radius of the regional air defense system is as high as hundreds of kilometers, and even the simplified version on the destroyer is more than 1,000 meters. Therefore, the escort warship can still provide air defense cover for the main battleship. In this way, instead of letting the main battleship cope with various threats in a hurry, it is better to hand over the heavy responsibility of defense to the escort warship, so that the main battleship concentrates its strength against the enemy's main battleship, and replaces defense with offense.

It must be admitted that when the Republic's Navy was developing the Qin-class battleship, it must have very clear tactical ideas.

The most important thing is that the new tactical ideas of the Republic's Navy have formed a system.

It can be said that this is exactly what the US Navy lacks the most. Although there is reason to believe that when the US Navy is exploring new naval combat methods, it also proposes new naval combat tactics with new sea-making operations. It also uses new tactical ideas to guide the construction of a new naval combat platform, judging from the performance indicators and weapon equipment of the US Navy's "advanced maritime tactical test platform", that is, the "Long Beach" class battleship, the US Navy's tactical ideas have definitely not formed a system, otherwise it would not be equipped with multiple missiles on such main ships that imitate the "Qin" class. As well as an energy-type regional air defense system with combat distances of up to kilometers.

Although on the surface, the Long Beach class is even more powerful. In fact, even after the war, many people believe that the Long Beach class is the most powerful battleship in the early stages of the war, and the Qin class is just a single-performance warship. But to be honest, if the weapons equipped are not useful, that is, they will not play any role in attacking the enemy or protecting themselves, then no matter how many weapons are piled up together, it will not become a powerful combat system. It is just a bunch of powerful but useless decorations.

Not to mention, only 8 ships were built in the Long Beach class, while the US Navy's second-class battleship, namely the Long Island class, canceled all long-range attack weapons except for all electromagnetic guns, and the regional air defense system has not been cancelled, which is enough to show that many weapon systems on the Long Beach class are decorated.

Of course, in addition to rational and objective analysis, whether a warship is powerful depends mainly on actual combat performance.

That's right, if you want to distinguish male and female from the two warships, in addition to comparing performance data, the most direct and effective way is to let these two warships go to the battlefield and do a real battle with real swords and guns, and make a ruling based on the outcome of the battle, rather than theoretical analysis.

, just

Compared with the previous generation of main ships, namely aircraft carriers, the luckiest and most unfortunate thing about the new generation of main ships was that they were sent to the battlefield after their birth.
