1187: C1187 Make up for the Lack of Frigates

C1187 Make up for the Lack of Frigates

For the Navy, anything is missing, even a frigate, and the Navy is pretty hard to come by.

The hardest part was ten years ago. At that time, due to the lack of frigates, the navy had repeatedly mentioned that they hoped to arrange for a few dozen old frigates to be repaired one after another.

If they didn't have the ability to get new frigates, they could only let their superiors arrange for these old frigates to be repaired.

However, it wasn't easy to repair these warships.

The shell of these guardian warships was seriously corroded, and the mainframe models were all miscellaneous. Major repairs were very difficult, and after repairs, the speed of the ships could not reach their original target. They could only reach around 12 knots. Furthermore, major repairs take about 2 years, at least 3 million yuan. The total cost of a dozen or so major repairs was estimated to be tens of millions.

At the same time, the only thing that could be repaired was the Jiangnan Shipyard. People couldn't care about it and used those docks to repair it. The cost of the docks was also very high.

Therefore, the old minister of the navy Equipment Department proposed the idea of "building as replacement repair" to solve the long-term construction problem of the naval frigates.

That's right, it was better to build a new one than to repair these junk. After all kinds of preparations, the task of building a new frigate was handed over to the Eastern Shipyard of Shanghai.

This was the grade 053H frigate, nicknamed Jianghu Class in the west. A total of 14 were built, from the start of the first ship in February 1975 to the last one in December 1980, six years.

The construction of this batch of frigates had greatly alleviated the embarrassment of the navy at that time. However, the mission of these frigates was to rebel, so one could imagine it.

The mission of the frigates was to protect the fleet, either air defense or anti-submarine. However, these were all blank spaces within the country. The weapons and equipment on the 053H frigates were mainly warships against warships and missiles. In addition, there were medium-small caliber cannons and short-range anti-submarine weapons. There were even thunder tracks at the stern of the ship. It could be used to lay down mines.

The two most powerful Cyclone Dual Connection "upstream" 1 warship missile launchers were set in front of the chimney and in the middle of the upper deck at the back. The head and tail of the ship each had a 100mm main cannon tower. Due to the hindrance of the development of the new double-connected 100mm automatic cannon, they had no choice but to continue using the ancient cannon designed by Bear Country, which had been manually loaded and operated in the year 1947. It was not until the early '80s that the newly built Type 053H1 frigate was equipped with the new Type 79 Double Linked Automatic Naval Gun with a 100mm caliber. It was not until the' 70s and '80s that the new Type 053H1 frigate was equipped with the new Type 79 Automatic Double Linked Automatic Naval Gun.

The anti-air weapons and anti-submarine weapons on the ship were relatively weak. The double 37 mm machine guns operated by four people acted as the air defense role. The anti-submarine weapons included the five-tube anti-submarine rocket launchers installed at the head of the ship, the four deep-water bomb risk-launchers installed at the tail of the ship, and two large deep-water bomb launchers. Together with a medium-frequency warship shell sonar, the anti-submarine weapons were equipped with the five tube anti-submarine rocket launchers, the four deep-water bomb risk-launchers installed at the stern of the ship, and the two large deep-water bomb launchers. They could perform self-defence close range combat.

Therefore, although a batch of such frigates had already been built, to the navy, their current roles were of little value. If they were to participate in the naval battle between the Silver Country and the Cattle Country, they would definitely be sunk on the first day of the battle.

General Zhao mentioned the problem of the frigates. In recent years, it was impossible to have a new frigate in the country. After all, the military budget was tight, but there was still a way to get a frigate.

Hearing General Zhao's words, Qin Guan also quivered. That's right, the frigates should have started a long time ago.

The form 053 frigate was a general concept. There were many types of form 053 at the front and back, and the later stages of combat strength had already undergone a complete transformation.

Very quickly, Qin Guan sorted out his thoughts. "Our C801 missile is much smaller than the first upstream missile. Setting up a four-piece launcher can save enough space."

That massive Anti-ship Missile was really a waste of space.

With this change, the space came out.

"Then, we will deploy our own anti-air missile system." Qin Guan said, "I don't know how our Red Flag 61 missile is progressing. Also, we have a replica of the Standard Missile. In short, we need to choose a Boarding the Ship."

The current Red Flag 61 was different from the Red Flag 61 in history. After all, they had already obtained the technology of the Sky Flash Missile and improved it on the basis of this missile. Adding a booster would make him look like a sparrow used by the Y Country Navy.

As the performance of the AiM-7 Sparrow Missile was not bad, the Cattle Navy had long planned to transplant it onto the ship and turn it into a sea Sparrow Missile.

As the first generation of sea sparrows needed to manually control the fire control system, the reaction time was relatively long. The low altitude performance was poor, so they could not deal with the Anti-ship Missile. In 1967, RIM-7E entered the military. And began endless improvements.

Very quickly, it developed to the RIM-7H model. It used a lighter MK298 launcher and a new MK-91 digital fire control system and a new radio-guided antenna. The total weight of the system was only 12 tons. It could be installed on small ships such as speedboats.

The performance of this type of missile had been greatly improved, but it did not have the ability to deal with the Supersonic Cruise missiles that flew across the sea. Its accuracy was also very low under strong electronic interference.

In 1978, Y Country Navy independently developed the AiM-7M for further improvement and improvement of the Sparrow Air Missile's performance. Naturally, there was also the corresponding model of the High-Level RIM-7M Sea Sparrow on the ground.

As the inverted single-pulse receiver with a digital signal processor was used, the missile's ability to resist earth and other miscellaneous waves was greatly enhanced. For the first time, it possessed the ability to look down and shoot down. It was able to effectively deal with the Anti-ship Missile that flew across the sea.

In addition, it used a new digital computer, an autopilot and a fuse. The autopilot allowed the RM-7M missile to fly in the most optimal trajectory. Only when the target moved out of a certain range would the missile be able to fly. Only then would the missile be able to move, in order to save energy. Their own Red Flag 61 air-defense missile, of course, had to reach such a level. Moreover, the most important thing was to get rid of the huge Launch Box. He changed it to a small eight-pack MK29 launch system.

At the same time, he could also use the general vertical launch system in the future.

In the future, when they first saw the Han Navy's 053H2G Type frigate, they were all surprised by its huge six-piece cylinder launch system. They felt that it should be a killing machine inside.0

In fact, it was the Red Flag 61 Air Missile inside. However, this thing's Missile Wing could not be folded, so it needed such a heaven defying Launcher. It looked like he thought that it was some kind of Anti-ship Missile or something like that.

According to the Sea Sparrow's standards, it was much more reliable than a Sea Rattlesnake.

These thoughts slowly gathered in Qin Guan's mind and formed.

"Next, we need to add the helicopter hangar." Qin Guan continued, "Our Carrier-Borne Helicopter project has begun. Our frigate... We also need to be able to carry the Carrier-Borne Helicopter. This way, air defense, anti-submarine. Anti-warship, everything has been balanced."
