In recent years, it has been emphasized that having a 3 million ton base is the absolute threshold for becoming a world-class navy. Seeing that the calendar is going to turn over in a few days, it is inevitable to take stock and write a summary at the end of each year, so does it already have a stock of 3 million tons?Just mentioned a few days ago: the current "outfitting fleet" alone is significantly more than 230,000 tons. You must know that the figure of 230,000 tons can be ranked among the top 10 in the world when taken out alone. Generally speaking, the 230,000 tons currently outfitted will be delivered to service within 6 months at the earliest, and within 18 months at the latest. So it's worth a little bit of "cheating" here. That is, all the 230,000 tons of "cutting-edge" are also included, and see how far the total amount is from the threshold of 3 million tonsFor the sake of statistical convenience, we might as well divide it into several categories: First, it is naturally a first-class aviation ship. In fact, those that are qualified to be named according to provincial-level administrative units are regarded as first-class ships. At present, there are as many as 7 ships. Just this broad category,
It already has 380,000 tons!It is more than the total size of the navies of all but the top 5 countries in the world. Then the second major item is the main destroyer fleet, the total number of which has already reached more than 50 ships;More than 8 percent of them are brand new active shields. Only the single category of the active shield has actually ranked first in the world. The total tonnage of the brand-new 4x active shield is close to 400,000 tonsTogether with the 11 old non-shield destroyers, the total total tonnage is about 470,000 tons. The third major item, naturally, is the corvette. There are already 34 main medium-sized frigates of 4,500 tons for their own use;There are also two newly launched, with a full displacement of more than 6,000 tons, totaling 1650,000 tons. In addition, there are 60 ships of 1,500 tons of light protection. This is the result of transferring 20 basic ships to serve as official ships at one time. 60 ships totaling 90,000 tons, plus 11 to 12 old frigates totaling 30,000 tons. Thus, the total tonnage of the frigate this third largest item was in 2850,000 tons. The fourth major item is the amphibious fleet.
It is said that four amphibious assault ships of more than 40,000 tons are naturally the core strength of the amphibious fleet, but they have been counted separately as a class of large platforms. Here are only 8 dock landing ships plus dozens of medium landing ships. It is said that the LCAC hovercraft and other small and medium-sized landing craft carried inside the two taps and docks should also be counted as tonnage, so they are directly omitted here. 8 docks counted 2080,000 tons. The total number of medium-sized tank landing ships is huge, and the total tonnage is roughly 300,000 tons. Of course, there are also 4 Bison air-cushion landing ships, with a displacement of 2,000 tons, but they account for too small a proportion of the huge total amphibious tonnage and are again ignored. The amphibious surface fleet does not count 4 ships and two attacks, and there are already 5080,000 tons, ranking second in the world. The fifth major item is the underwater black fish, which is divided into conventional fish and unconventional fish. The density of unconventional fish is very high, and it can only be roughly counted. However, the combined number of the two is actually the largest in the world according to country statistics. It has reached or exceeded 80 ships.
And the superpower's 74 all-nuclear Blackfish can only rank second in the world in terms of quantity, and of course still the first in the world in terms of tonnage on paper. However, 65% of the old American nuclear fish cannot go to sea to fight. At present, it is basically replaced according to the ratio of retiring one conventional fish and immediately replenishing two unconventional fish, so the total underwater tonnage is likely to have crossed the threshold of 400,000 tons. The sixth major item is a variety of light surface combat ships, including the few "yellow water battleships" and stealth missile speedboats such as 022. Although the tonnage is not large, the important combat role can not be ignored. After all, the superpowers are also keen to fly and dive fast. Because of the large amount and scattered, the rough statistics here are 20,000 tons of drainage. The above six major items include all the main combat ships above and below the water. Total 20630,000 tons. These more than 2 million tons are all real front-line combat ships. If the outside world wants to deliberately belittle the strength of a certain party, only such calibers will be counted;But at the same time it is advertised:
The superpower navy still has more than 5 million tons on paper, implying that the former is less than 40% of the latter's total tonnage on paper. And the superpower's so-called more than 5 million tons is counted in the huge supply and logistics fleet. In line with the principle of consistent caliber, it is natural to count the supply and logistics fleet. That is, the seventh major item, the supply fleet. At present, there are 12 brand-new main supply ships, as well as a large number of oil tankers and island and reef supply ships, totaling around 500,000 tons. The 1 million-ton supply fleet from the superpower is basically half the size, and it also ranks second in the world. However, the superpower's supply ships have been extremely inactive in recent years. On the contrary, the actual tonnage of the world's second supply fleet is relatively ahead. Finally, the eighth major item, that is, various logistics vessels. Including but not limited to electronic reconnaissance ships, ** test ships, submarine rescue ships, various underwater acoustic ships, large and medium-sized hospital ships, national defense mobilization ships, military semi-submersible ships, salvage ships, dock repair ships, minesweepers, special catamarans and so on.
These "marginal" ships may seem chaotic, but in fact they are an extremely important and organic part of the formation of comprehensive combat effectiveness. Moreover, its statistical tonnage also directly determines whether the threshold of 3 million tons has been passed at present. Because if this eighth item is 400,000 tons, then the total amount is 29630,000 tons is equivalent to building another 40,000 tons of two attacks to just over 3 million tons;If all auxiliary vessels count 450,000 tons, then the current has already been crossed. The final conclusion is that in the next 18 months, it will definitely exceed 3 million tons unconsciously, which is a limit that is more difficult than climbing to the sky in the eyes of the vast majority of ordinary navies. This is still the result of being dull and not exerting much force. With a little more effort, "the whole earth can be enough to hold 10 million tons of two countries"!If this is the case, where will there be more Prajnaparata than the same explosion of global ambitions?
