Look carefully at this promotional picture released by the Navy.
Even ordinary viewers who didn't understand warships noticed something unusual.
All I can see is that the proportions shown in the picture are obviously out of proportion!
Just the various equipment and weapon systems seemed to have shrunk several times smaller.
Not to mention that the entire dock was directly occupied by it and was almost packed to the brim!
You know, although the length of the 055 destroyer is close to 200 meters, it is impossible to achieve this level.
This is not the shape a destroyer should have at all!
Watch this scene.
"This 055 destroyer seems too big, right? Is it that long?"
"Isn't it overexposed, or is there something wrong with the photography angle?"
"Yes, this is completely unreasonable. How big is the 055, which is over 10,000 tons?"
"No. Even if I don't let you be photographed as a fishing boat, it won't be that long, right?"
"The photographer must add chicken legs. This is to directly announce that he has joined the War on Terrorism Bureau!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened and they spoke in disbelief.
Their first instinct was not that the picture was fake. On the contrary, the authenticity of the destroyer in this picture was quite high.
Whether it is the various weapons to be installed on it, or the keel deck that is already being modified, etc.
It can be seen intuitively that this is a destroyer, and it is currently the world's top large destroyer 055!
It is impossible for ordinary composite photos to show these detailed details!
So, they think it’s the photographer’s perspective!
After all, in the past, the publicity department could always photograph warships that were often hundreds of meters tall, looking like small fishing boats.
Nowadays, it is not surprising for them to photograph the 200-meter-long 055 destroyer into a 300-400-meter-long one.
I'm just sighing, why did the propaganda department suddenly start doing personnel matters? ?
only.
Many military fans who are very familiar with destroyers, aircraft carriers and other ships are frowning at this moment.
I had a vague feeling that something was not quite right.
"No. It's not an angle problem. It seems to have gotten bigger?"
"Isn't this the largest dock in the country? It's nearly four hundred meters long."
"It looks familiar to me too. This seems to be the shipyard of the 001A aircraft carrier?"
"Outrageous. So how long is this destroyer?"
"Not only the length, but also the width, height, etc., seem to have all expanded."
There are even careful people who discovered many clues after enlarging the photos.
The words Penang Shipyard were found on the gantry crane, as well as the construction dock numbered ①.
With this condition, after knowing that the entire dock length reaches 400 meters.
You can easily calculate the length, height and other data of this destroyer.
After using proportional analysis, they came to a shocking conclusion!
"What the hell?? It's more than three hundred meters long??"
"And it's close to 310 meters? The width is more than 30 meters?"
"What the hell? Is this a destroyer? Is this a destroyer??"
"It's outrageous, it's a hell of a lot bigger than many aircraft carriers!"
This is indeed a destroyer, but its size is actually about the same as an aircraft carrier!
The displacement is estimated based on numerical values, at least more than 45,000 tons.
Listen to these discussions.
In an instant, everyone on the entire network seemed to be going crazy! !
What kind of new destroyer is this? This is clearly an aircraft carrier!
And at this time.
A military program was also being recorded at the same time, and the invited guest was still his old friend Zhang Juzuo.
The topic discussed was the status of the Air Force’s deployment of dual-engine J-20s.
Just as the few people were communicating well, the host suddenly received a brand new topic.
Wait until this topic is discussed.
"Mr. Zhang, we have received the latest news!"
"The Navy seems to have released a promotional picture of a new destroyer"
"As an old Navy man, what do you think of this ship?"
The host looked at Director Zhang, smiled and asked.
On the big screen, a destroyer appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"New type of destroyer??"
"This is just some improvements based on the 055 destroyer!"
“Actually, it’s not as good as a new model.”
Zhang Ju took a sip of water and said calmly!
But I couldn't help but feel horrified in my heart. Why did the Navy come up with this thing? ?
Doesn't this create a problem for him? How can this make him round?
The host nodded, and then said doubtfully:
"According to the shipyard predictions in the picture, the length of this destroyer will exceed three hundred meters."
"The minimum displacement is more than 45,000 tons."
"Many netizens have various questions: Do we really want to build such a big destroyer?"
"And how high will its combat capability be?"
This is also the answer to the question that everyone is most concerned about. Is it true?
And what is the purpose of building such a large destroyer?
Could it be used as an aircraft carrier?
Hear this.
"What about the tonnage and length?"
"I don't think it's possible!"
Zhang Ju even frowned. He had served in the navy for decades and was very familiar with warships.
Could he not know that this destroyer is definitely more than three hundred meters long and is directly catching up with the aircraft carrier No. 001A!
But, can you say this casually? That's definitely not possible!
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"This is a photography mistake!"
"What the Navy builds is a destroyer in the traditional sense, or a larger cruiser!"
"Let's think about it, what kind of combat effectiveness can a destroyer with a tonnage of 40,000 to 50,000 tons have?"
"If equipped with nuclear power, it will not be able to maintain even the most basic speed, let alone the cruising range."
"It is simply impossible to build such a huge destroyer"
After giving the detailed reasons, he breathed a sigh of relief.
And this is not nonsense on his part, but based on the current situation.
If you use conventional power, you will have no endurance; if you use conventional nuclear power, you will lose speed.
As a destroyer, building such a large size is simply a waste.
Even he didn't know why the Navy wanted to build such a long destroyer?
Hear this answer.
"That's right. How is it possible to build a destroyer over 300 meters long?"
"Is it really a problem with the camera angle? But this is too real!"
"But how to solve the power system? What you said this time makes sense!"
"With such a large displacement, wouldn't it be better to just build an aircraft carrier?"
"Yes, the era of giant ships and cannons has long passed. A destroyer of 40,000 to 50,000 tons? It's like going back to World War II, right?"
The audience who are watching the show quite agree with the idea of sitting down this time.
This is really possible that they guessed wrong, after all, this tonnage is too outrageous!
With such a large displacement, how to solve the power system is its most critical problem.
And once it loses speed and endurance, the destroyer will be useless no matter how big it is!
now.
Hundreds of kilometers away from Yanjing, in a naval training port.
"When did our navy develop this kind of destroyer?"
"This length? A three-hundred-meter-long destroyer."
"What do you think? Who sent this message?"
Captain Du was also confused at this moment and asked his adjutant.
Why doesn't he know what new destroyers the navy has equipped? Is the tonnage of the body still so exaggerated?
Information that even he, the naval commander, didn't know was actually released?
Could it be caused by someone spreading some nonsense? Isn’t this nonsense! ?
"I just asked the publicity department."
"They said it was the Academy of Sciences who asked them to publish it!!"
"It seems that this is a new destroyer that is under development and construction."
The adjutant put down the phone and said with an excited tone.
This means that this destroyer is absolutely real!
It is even very likely to be equipped with a new power system to drive this behemoth!
The words just fell.
"According to the Academy of Sciences."
"A new destroyer being built? Is this a joke?"
Seeing the adjutant nodding solemnly, Captain Du couldn't sit still!
He may not believe what others say, but the recent commotion in the Academy of Sciences is quite big!
This destroyer is most likely real, with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons.
Think of this.
"I'll go there right away!"
Captain Du quickly picked up his military cap and walked out of the office, rushing directly to the Academy of Sciences!
Yenching Academy of Sciences, inside the dean’s office.
"Dean Lin, our army has been suffering recently."
"Not one of these carrier-based aircraft has been delivered to us yet!!"
"We don't have twin-engine J-20s, and we don't even have a J-15 carrier-based aircraft. It's so sad!"
"Why should this new destroyer be given priority in equipping our troops?"
Captain Du just walked in and immediately started complaining!
Although the army and air force are indeed unlikely to compete with him for something like a large destroyer!
But there are other naval units that can't stand it, and they must be waiting eagerly too!
He plans to strike first and allocate it to the fleet below him first!
After all, this kind of destroyer has full combat capabilities even without an aircraft carrier formation.
Listen to this long list of words.
"Lao Du, don't you all have a complete aircraft carrier formation?"
"As the commander of the formation, do you plan to sail such a destroyer??"
Lin Congli said with a smile and handed over a cup of tea.
He was not surprised by Captain Du's arrival.
After all, after being together for so many years, Captain Du has already figured out what kind of temper he is!
Is it just coming here, do you want this new destroyer to be given priority to equip their troops?
"Why don't you want to drive?"
"Who said that if you have a complete aircraft carrier fleet, you can't add another destroyer?"
"I wish I could replace all frigates, destroyers and even supply ships with large destroyers like this!"
Captain Du said quickly.
This is not only a brand new destroyer, but a terrifying battleship with a tonnage of aircraft carrier level!
How high can the combat effectiveness of the entire aircraft carrier formation be improved? Why doesn't he want it?
If possible, he could even replace his submarines with this kind of destroyer, leaving only the core aircraft carrier!
"I heard that the army will be equipped with electromagnetic rifles recently!"
"Not to mention the Air Force, the twin-engine J-20 and everything else belong to them."
"Our naval force can't fall behind, right?" Captain Du said immediately.
Compared to any carrier-based aircraft, of course he wants new ships more!
After all, the fundamental source of all the strength of the navy is still the ability of the ship itself!
"It just so happens that Chief Engineer Jiang and the others also plan to go to the shipyard."
"Let's go take a look together and let you give us some reference advice."
Lin Congli stood up and walked out of the door.
There are currently only two aircraft carrier formations in China, and Captain Du's opinion is extremely important.
If it is installed by then, it will most likely be installed in their domestic aircraft carrier fleet.
"Then I have to take a serious look." Captain Du's eyes lit up and he quickly followed.
He wanted to see just how exaggerated this destroyer was!
A few hours later.
Hundreds of kilometers away from Yanjing, Binhai Shipyard.
No. 1 dock.
A huge ship is being placed tightly here.
It is very similar to Daqi 055 in appearance, but its size is particularly huge.
This is exactly the new destroyer on the Navy's promotional map!
now.
There are busy construction and R&D personnel everywhere.
After all, it has sufficient construction experience in building aircraft carriers and Dachu 055 before.
Therefore, the construction speed of this behemoth is very fast, and the keel of the entire destroyer has been laid.
However, it is better to say that it is a modification than a redesign and construction!
Looking at the scene in front of me.
"Captain Du, how are you doing??"
"The scale of this new destroyer didn't disappoint you, right?"
Jiang Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke to Captain Du next to him.
The launch of this large destroyer is probably not far away!
We just need to wait until the Academy of Sciences officially develops small nuclear power.
"His this destroyer!!"
"Its displacement is more than 40,000 tons, right?"
"Isn't this too big? It's not even smaller than our aircraft carrier."
Captain Du had a dull look on his face and said with shock in his heart.
Although he had been mentally prepared before, he never expected that the destroyer would be so big.
This size is comparable to a medium-sized aircraft carrier, which is far beyond his imagination!
"Its displacement is initially estimated to reach more than 50,000 tons."
"Even if it exceeds 60,000 tons, it's not impossible!"
Jiang Chen touched his chin, thought for a moment and then said.
Anyway, for a small nuclear power system, there is not much pressure even if it drives 100,000 tons.
However, there is currently no need to build such a large destroyer unless there is any new equipment in the future.
"Sixty thousand tons??"
"Are you sure this isn't an aircraft carrier?"
Captain Du's eyes widened with disbelief on his face!
Good guy, no wonder he’s so big!
If the tonnage of this destroyer were a little more, it would be almost the same as an aircraft carrier!
PS: Please recommend and vote for me monthly! !
(The captain here = the supreme commander of the formation, and the same is true for the others. It’s just that some words cannot be typed out and are replaced by other intuitive words. Sorry,)
