Chapter 169: The Navy's Comprehensive Refit, Super Hero Yuri
On September 54, 9 in the original time and space, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine was launched. It was the Nautilus attack nuclear submarine of the United States.
In Jiang Hua's opinion, the Hurricane-class attack nuclear submarine at the Red Alert Base has great similarities with the Nautilus, especially in appearance and design style.
It should be designed like the Dreadnought-class battleship, based on similar weapons that have appeared in reality.
However, only the appearance is similar. The internal electronic equipment, weapon systems, power systems, transmission systems, etc. have been optimized and improved.
For example, this Hurricane-class attack nuclear submarine is such a case.
The Hurricane-class attack nuclear submarine adopts a whale bow design, which is also a transitional design between conventional submarines and teardrop-shaped submarines during World War II.
Its characteristics are that the bow is arc-shaped, the freeboard is low, and the upper deck is flat.
In the power system, a pressurized water reactor is also used to drive two steam turbines with a total power of horsepower.
3000 more horsepower than the Nautilus.
The performance is also slightly better than that of the Nautilus.
The surface displacement is 3800 tons, the underwater displacement is 4500 tons, the surface speed is 23 knots, the underwater speed is 25 knots, the diving depth is 250 meters, and it is propelled by dual-axis and dual-propellers.
The boat is equipped with three sonar systems, located on the bow and port sides of the front deck.
The weapons consist of 6 533 mm hydraulic torpedo tubes, carrying a total of 30 torpedoes.
When seeing the performance of the Hurricane-class attack nuclear submarine, Jiang Hua was undoubtedly very satisfied.
As a first-generation attack nuclear submarine, its performance can be said to be excellent.
In particular, the nuclear power system gives it almost unlimited endurance.
According to the base, its fuel replacement cycle is 15 years.
The most important thing is that after using the nuclear reactor, the submarine no longer needs to surface to replenish oxygen.
This also means that it will be a real underwater ghost.
For this era, the emergence of the Hurricane-class attack nuclear submarine is invincible.
Its price was very expensive before, but for him who earns 5 million every day, it is nothing.
It only takes two days to ship 10 million.
Of course, since Branch Base No. 3 is still on its way to Southeast Asia, the daily funding is less than 400 million, but it will only last for three days.
So it will replace the Type 21 submarine and become the main force of the Renaissance Navy submarine force.
Currently, the Fuxing Army Navy Submarine Force has a total of 21 Type 18 submarines in service.
Therefore, Jiang Hua’s goal is to build 18 ships to completely replace the Type 21 submarines.
As for conventional-powered submarines, the navy no longer equips them.
With these conditions, who would want conventional-powered submarines?
With a displacement of 3800 tons and a shipyard's monthly construction speed of 6000 tons, it only takes 19 days to launch a ship.
The naval shipyard in Donglai City is still responsible for building ships. A total of 20 shipyards have been built within a radius of more than 20 kilometers in this bay.
Before the upgrade, with the departure of Branch Base No. 1, all the buildings in the base were actually in a shutdown stage.
Jiang Hua had originally planned to move the main base here.
However, after the upgrade, all these problems were solved.
After the upgrade, the base coverage range increased from 100 kilometers to 500 kilometers.
The straight-line distance between Donglai City, Qidong Province and the main base is more than 400 kilometers.
That is why these base buildings began to operate normally and there was no need to move the main base.
If Jiang Hua could avoid touching the main base, he would not choose to touch it.
It is still safer to stay in the mountains, even if there is a crack generator.
Of these 20 shipyards, Jiang Hua set aside three to build Hurricane-class attack nuclear submarines.
It will only take 18 days, or less than 114 months, to build all 4 ships.
In less than four months, 4 attack nuclear submarines were launched, a launching speed that far surpassed all other powers.
After the Hurricane-class attack nuclear submarines entered service, Jiang Hua also planned to find a buyer for these Type 21 conventional-powered submarines.
In the last war, Hans' submarines shocked the world greatly.
I think they will be very interested in the Type 21 submarines and will directly buy all 18 submarines.
After all, these 18 submarines have all experienced actual combat.
The largest tonnage sunk by submarines exceeded 10 tons.
In addition to submarines, all destroyers and cruisers need to be retired.
As for battleships, only six will be built. In addition to the four Midway-class aircraft carriers, Jiang Hua also plans to add two more aircraft carriers.
The destroyers currently equipped by the Restoration Army Navy are Gearing-class destroyers.
Therefore, the Mitchell-class destroyers built by the Eagle Sauce after the original time and space war replaced the Gearing-class and became the new generation of destroyers.
However, since the air defense missile technology was not mature in 55, and the anti-ship missiles were too large, it was still a large artillery destroyer.
As for cruisers, there will no longer be a distinction between light cruisers and heavy cruisers, but rather the Boston-class missile cruisers that were put into service by the US in 55.
This Boston-class guided missile cruiser was also modified from the hull of the Baltimore-class heavy cruiser.
It is equipped with four RIM-2 air defense missile systems, and the entire warship has a total of 144 rounds of ammunition.
Therefore, this type of missile cruiser will completely replace all light cruisers and heavy cruisers and become the only type of cruiser of the Restoration Army Navy.
As for aircraft carriers, the two additional ones were designed by the Red Alert Base based on the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier as a template.
Since its name only contains four words "aircraft carrier", Jiang Hua simply named it the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier.
As the largest conventionally powered aircraft carrier, it has a full load displacement of more than 8 tons.
Compared with the Midway-class aircraft carrier, it is more suitable as a take-off and landing platform for jet fighters.
In the future, the Restoration Army's naval aircraft carrier formation will also be composed of the Midway class and the Kitty Hawk class.
However, after the Midway-class aircraft carrier comes out, it still needs to be towed into the naval shipyard for upgrading and transformation.
It was converted into a Midway-class aircraft carrier after World War II, with an angled deck and steam catapults added.
Only in this way can it be used to take off and land jet fighters.
The replacement of these naval ships alone cost Jiang Hua more than 200 million yuan.
If calculated based on 500 million per day, it would take him a month to save up this money.
However, the funds for building each naval ship are paid for one by one, so the money he is spending now is actually not much, only tens of millions.
Calculated based on the current construction speed of 6000 tons per month.
The Mitchell-class large destroyer has a full load displacement of 4800 tons and takes 24 days to build.
The Boston-class guided missile cruiser has a full load displacement of tons and takes 74 days to build.
The Kitty Hawk-class heavy aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of more than tons and takes 400 days to build.
Except for aircraft carriers and battleships, all other ships will be able to enter service this year.
The remaining ships, except for the two newly built Kitty Hawk-class ships, will be able to enter service next year.
These include the Iowa-class battleships, Montana-class battleships, and Midway-class aircraft carriers, which have been under construction for seven or eight months.
Jiang Hua was very satisfied with the construction speed.
Within five years, the Restoration Army will have a super fleet that is invincible at sea.
By that time, neither the Fuso Combined Fleet, the United States' Two Oceans Fleet, nor John's Home Fleet would be a match for the Restoration Army Navy.
By that time, the Renaissance Army will truly have the ability to divide the cake.
This is why Jiang Hua invested so much manpower and funds to build a navy that is like a bottomless pit.
The development of the navy should be done sooner rather than later.
Although the initial investment is huge, a lot of funds are still needed to maintain the operation of the fleet.
But the hidden benefits of an invincible fleet are simply incomparable to these expenses.
After Jiang Hua finished planning the construction of naval ships, he called An Hongyi, general manager of Datang International Trade Group Co., Ltd.
Datang International Trade Group was established just over a month ago, and the framework has only just been established.
The establishment of the Datang International Trade Group was also intended to revive the government's foreign trade plan in the future.
Among them, the arms business will also become one of the main businesses of Datang International Trade Group.
In order to replace retired weapons and equipment for the navy, army and air force, they need to develop business overseas.
This is also the reason why Jiang Hua called him over.
"commander!"
An Hongyi is also a Red Alert Navy officer who changed his career due to his excellent professional ability.
He served as the first mate on the earliest 201 submarine.
So after meeting Jiang Hua, he called him commander.
"The navy is about to decommission a batch of submarines. I need you to go to the West to find customers for them. I'm afraid the Hans country will be very interested in these submarines.
This business is also very important to your group, you should go to Hans as soon as possible."
"Yes, Commander!"
Just when An Hongyi was about to leave, Jiang Hua called him again.
"A large number of tanks and aircraft will also be retired. You can also spread the word."
A hint of joy flashed in An Hongyi's eyes.
If this is the case, then this is indeed a huge order for the newly established Datang International Trade Group.
If all these weapons and equipment could be sold, the commission alone would probably be quite a lot.
The next day, An Hongyi set off with a delegation on a cruise ship to Hans.
On this day, Jiang Hua also met two special superheroes.
The first superhero who came to see Jiang Hua was a big bald man. When people with weak wills saw him at first sight, they would feel scared.
This person is the famous Yuri.
His ability is very special, and if it is supported by the Mind Control Tower, it can exert its maximum power.
Especially for people with weak will, he can even directly control that person.
However, in front of Jiang Hua, Yuri behaved very honestly.
"Your mission is in the Far East, and we need your assistance there!"
Yuri and the Mind Control Tower complement each other. The Mind Control Tower can maximize his abilities, and he can also maximize the abilities of the Mind Control Tower.
Able to assimilate the indigenous peoples of the Far East more quickly.
So Jiang Hua arranged him here.
As for the second superhero, she is a great beauty.
