Pan Lao suddenly thought of something. The construction of the 052 destroyer has already started. Even if there are any problems that need to be solved, there is no need to bother Wu Shengli to come over. Wu Shengli came here for a brand new missile boat.
Wu Shengli chuckled: "Yeah, hurry up and take me to see the design drawings. Why is it so subversive?"
The hull of a catamaran is completely different from that of a monohull, so this is already subversive. However, what Mr. Pan is talking about is definitely not this. So what exactly is it?
When he came to the computer room and saw the graphics on the screen, Wu Shengli opened his eyes wide: "This design is indeed different from our previous missile boats!"
what is the difference?
In any previous missile boat or even any warship, all kinds of equipment were lined up above the deck, which looked dazzling.
The main gun in the front, the bridge and mast in the back, as well as various chimneys, missile launchers, etc., make the top of the deck look colorful.
What now?
The current missile boat has an extremely simple superstructure.
There is a section of deck at the bow of the boat, and the buildings behind the deck are extending upward and tilting inward, especially the portholes, which are also tilted at this angle, which is exactly the opposite of the previous layout.
Portholes generally extend outward, allowing people inside to directly see the situation on the deck and have a wide field of vision. However, this advantage is lost in this layout.
It looks very weird.
Further back, all the deck equipment is wrapped in the superstructure. Even the four anti-ship missile launchers at the tail are perfectly wrapped by the inclined sides.
Even the masts have the same shape, a tilted polyhedron structure, which is completely different from the previous simple layout of a pole.
"What's the point of doing this?" the adjutant beside Wu Shengli asked, he was a little confused.
"The superstructure is tightly wrapped and retracted. The advantage of this is that it can reflect radar waves emitted from a distance into the sky," Pan said.
Reflected into the sky? What's the use? Wu Shengli rolled his eyes and thought of something: "Is it a stealth design?"
In 1988, the Americans announced their F-117 attack aircraft for the first time. This special-shaped aircraft immediately attracted the attention of military experts around the world. They were surprised to find that the aircraft could actually be designed in this way.
It is completely inconsistent with aerodynamics. In order to pursue radar stealth, it makes the aircraft look like alien equipment.
However, everyone has also learned some things from this appearance. For example, the surface must be tilted to reflect the incoming electromagnetic waves in other directions. As long as the echo reflected to the opponent's radar antenna is weakened, it can reduce the risk of being intercepted by the opponent.
probability of discovery.
Under the guidance of this idea, warship experts have also begun to think of ways to reduce the radar reflection waves of warships, and Swedish experts are at the forefront.
In 1991, the world's first stealth experimental ship Smig was officially put into service in Sweden, attracting countless attention. The superstructure of this warship was recycled inward, with a considerable inclination, and the entire hull was low, like
It feels like it was flattened, which makes people sigh at the designer's imagination.
But now, it is only 1990, and the construction of the SmiG has not yet started. No one knows what a stealth ship should look like. When the design drawing of a missile boat of this shape appears in front of them, how can they not be surprised?
Wu Shengli can still keep up with the trend of the times. From warships to aircraft, and then thinking about the use of such designs, he is considered to be excellent enough.
"Yes, it's stealth." Mr. Pan said: "The displacement of this ship is only more than two hundred tons. After such a design, in front of the radar, it is the same as a speedboat of more than ten tons. If the waves are slightly
If it were bigger, it might be completely hidden in the waves."
When Mr. Pan said this, he felt a little excited.
Think about it, when a missile boat moves forward in the waves, most of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the opposite radar are reflected into the sky, and there are not many electromagnetic waves left. Coupled with the action of countless waves, the enemy's radar screen
, nothing can be seen. Their missile boats can get close to the opponent's warship within 40 kilometers, and then launch the anti-ship missiles they carry to send the enemy's warship to the bottom of the sea!
"This was all designed by Qin Tao?"
Pan Lao nodded, Qin Tao had designed all the shapes, and just reserved the positions for the weapons that needed to be installed.
"This guy is really capable! With this design, the superiors should be able to agree to build it. It's just a missile boat anyway, so it's no problem if you give it a try." Wu Shengli said.
"We don't seem to have found its chimney?" Wu Shengli's adjutant said.
"If only radar stealth is not enough, the exhaust design of this missile boat is also very good. Since it is a catamaran, its exhaust port is set on the inside of the catamaran, which can greatly improve
Reduce infrared signature."
Ordinary warships have chimneys in the middle and rear, which directly discharge the exhaust gas into the sky. In this way, the infrared rays released are very strong. But now this ship has exhaust pipes installed inside the two hulls.
Shielding, coupled with the action of waves, can greatly reduce the heat of the exhaust gases.
This kind of operation can only be performed by a catamaran.
In this way, good stealth effects are achieved in both radar and infrared aspects. The designer's idea is so clever!
Wu Shengli nodded with satisfaction: "Produce some design drawings and I will take them back."
"OK."
"Why does the position where the anti-ship missile is installed at the tail look a bit big?" the adjutant asked again.
"Because there are four launch tubes inside, one on each side, this missile boat of more than 200 tons can carry eight anti-ship missiles."
Eight?
Wu Shengli's eyes widened. The missile boats they currently produce can carry twice as many missiles! Regardless of the military branch, they all like high power.
Existing missile boats can only hold four because the missile boat's deck area is limited and cannot accommodate more. However, this catamaran has a large transverse width, which perfectly solves the problem of insufficient deck area.
Its overall design is really great, and everyone who sees it will be full of praise.
Even the designers at the Ship Design Institute have been inspired. Their frigates and destroyers may also adopt some of this idea in the design. Even if it is to reduce the radar reflection by 20 to 30%, that would be good.
