That night, Chang Haizhou called Li Hai and reported on the modification of the No. 53 ship.
Li Hai almost jumped up and said, "How come the maximum displacement is more than 4,000 tons? It is obviously an old frigate with a full load displacement of only 3,200 tons."
"It's my fault that I didn't explain this situation in detail before. It was indeed only three thousand and two before. Then it was lengthened. But after it was lengthened, it was found that some tonnage was not used, so it was not included. You know the hull data. Unexpectedly, they are all used now." Chang Haizhou explained.
Li Hai was extremely surprised, "After a long time, I, the captain, only now know the true displacement of the ship. It's incredible, Old Chang."
"At that time, I thought you would leave after a few months of gilding, but I didn't expect you would stay and work for a long time." Chang Haizhou said sheepishly.
This reason was not convincing to Li Hai.
As an acting captain and the actual commander of a frigate, the actual tonnage he knew was actually different by seven to eight hundred tons. This kind of oversight would never happen in the army.
Then there is only one explanation - there are some secrets or history on the No. 53 ship that Chang Haizhou cannot tell.
At this time, Li Hai did not struggle with this issue, but focused on the larger and larger modifications of the No. 53 ship this time.
He asked, "The 364 radar you are talking about is the H/LJQ-364 search radar. It is the dual-coordinate sea/low-altitude search and target designation radar that is commonly equipped on the main surface ships, right?"
"Yes! It's this radar." Chang Haizhou said, "It mainly provides instructions for close-in defense artillery, and also takes into account general shipboard search. It can conduct all-round searches for supersonic missiles, aircraft and sea targets, and can automatically record and process it. It is very advanced to transmit target trajectories or comprehensive intelligence based on threat level analysis to short-range anti-missile weapon systems or combat command systems in real time.”
Since this radar is going to be installed, it is reasonable to completely change the short-range anti-missile system to the H/PJ-11 11-barreled 30mm naval gun.
As for the replacement of new domestic 100mm naval guns, Li Hai didn't find it strange.
"I've heard about the integrated combat system for small and medium-sized ships. It was developed by the Northwest, and they also developed the Air Force tactical data link. With this integrated combat system, all the firepower units on our ships can be integrated. , greatly improving situational awareness and doubling combat effectiveness." Li Hai said.
Chang Haizhou said, "Yes, we can be more relaxed in terms of firepower layout. However, it will probably take at least a month to complete all the modification work."
"This is great, I can't wait to do it." Li Hai smiled.
Chang Haizhou secretly thought, of course you are happy. You had a great time flying and masturbating in Haiba Division, but the brothers are sad. The backbones must participate in the whole process of modification and become familiar with the new system and new weapons as soon as possible. The amount of work is enough to allow for rest.
"Yes, the 11th Frigate Group and the 1st Frigate Group merged to form a detachment. What do you think of this?" Chang Haizhou asked.
Li Hai asked, "Where did Feng Biao get the news?"
Chang Haizhou said, "He analyzed it based on the centralized mobilization in the past few days. The basis is also simple. The training he wants to participate in is the command cadre class for deputy regiment promotion to full regiment. A regimental-level commander is also a captain. Where did there come from so many vacancies? There is only one explanation: they need to be merged and upgraded.”
The captain of a frigate is usually a deputy or principal captain. Most of the 054A captains are principals. Most of the other frigates are deputy captains. Feng Biao is a deputy captain. In the normal promotion route, if he is promoted up, he will usually be the captain of a destroyer, or other command positions at the same level. However, the class he was going to attend was to train captains, which meant that Feng Biao had only one destination - destroyer captain.
However, the time of appearance of this class is different from previous years. To arrange so many destroyer captains, a corresponding number of destroyers is needed. Based on the People's Navy's synchronized construction pace of manned and manned ships in the past ten years, it can be judged that a corresponding number of destroyers will be launched into service soon after these new captains graduate.
The arrival of new ships means that the establishment will be increased or expanded without the corresponding retirement of old ships.
The judgment that "the 11th Frigate Group and the 1st Frigate Group merged to form a detachment" was made by Feng Biao based on these settings and the specific situation of the South Ship.
Li Hai believes that Feng Biao's judgment is basically correct. In other words, in a few months, the South Ship's escort force will undergo major changes. Based on his previous judgment on the tonnage of the new navy ships launched this year, By next year, the Navy will most likely commission new ships capable of equipping a patrol detachment.
"Old Chang, what do you think?" Li Hai asked.
Chang Haizhou was stunned for a moment. Such a straightforward question really caught him off guard. Of course he had ideas. He and Feng Biao were students at the same time. Feng Biao was already the captain of the destroyer, and he was also the deputy captain of the old frigate. Another thing, if Li Hai hadn't airborne, the position of captain of the No. 53 ship would have been his.
Liu Haikang's body is no longer suitable for duty at sea, and landing on land is a certainty.
Li Hai serves as the trainee captain and acting captain of the No. 53 ship. From this arrangement, it can be seen that Li Hai must have taken over the position of captain of the No. 53 ship.
Of course Chang Haizhou didn't understand, but he absolutely obeyed the organization's arrangements.
The two frigate brigades were merged and upgraded to a detachment, and with so many additional captain positions suddenly available, Chang Haizhou certainly had a strong desire to improve.
"What's the use of having ideas." Chang Haizhou smiled slightly bitterly.
"It won't be long before we come back from this trip, and you will be commanding a new ship." Li Hai said with a smile.
Chang Haizhou only thought that Li Hai was comforting him and said with a smile, "Do whatever the organization asks you to do. The refit time here has been extended. Do you want to stay at Shuilingchang Station for a while longer?"
"Well, it's a rare opportunity to engage in flight training. I have to seize the opportunity, otherwise my flying skills will be ruined." Li Hai said.
"Fly with peace of mind, I'm here." Chang Haizhou said.
"Understood!" Li Hai became more confident.
Li Hai does not yet have a clear idea of what the No. 53 ship will look like in the end. In his opinion, after going through the modification list, the combat effectiveness of the No. 53 ship will definitely surpass that of the New Youth. Moreover, one thing is certain - the No. 53 ship is regarded as a combat test platform for new gadgets. Children are piled on top.
Li Hai continued his restorative flight training. After that, he went deep into combat training. He flew many combat subjects with the pilots of the Eighth Hai Division. He participated in confrontation training almost every day and consumed tens of tons of aviation fuel every day. Living a very solid life.
The crew of the No. 53 ship also had a fulfilling life. They were familiar with the new equipment and conducted targeted training. They must be able to immediately form combat effectiveness on the day the modification is completed.
Twenty-five days later, the modification of ship No. 53 came to an end, and Shuilingchang Station also welcomed two special guests on the same day - J-16D fighter jets.
Driving them were several familiar faces - Dang Weimin, Zhan Yuntian, Zhao Feiyan, and the leader was Zhu Wei.
