Project Sword
With the start of the annual New Year's greeting routine operation of the Seventh Master, when everyone sighed for the Air Force to be so "poor", the Navy seemed to be living a good life. Inventory of the 2023 Navy equipment ships, I didn't expect that 10 ships were in service with a displacement of about 570,000 tons, although there are no large ships, but it ranks first in the world.
The Seventh Master is here
New ships See the watermark This year's heavyweight equipment is the 055 type 10,000-ton drive, which belongs to the last two of the first batch of 8 ships, namely the No. 107 Zunyi ship and the No. 108 Xianyang ship, which were also equipped in the South China Sea Fleet in April. So far, the first batch of 8 ships have been equipped into service, the North Sea and the South China Sea Fleet each four are equally divided, as the aircraft carrier with knife guards, the two aircraft carriers in service are basically enough, there is a small detail, the top of the main chimney of the No. 108 Xianyang ship is blackened, which is different from other ships.
Project 107 Zunyi ship
As one of the strongest destroyers in the world, the No. 108 Xianyang destroyer with the largest tonnage and the most advanced performance in the history of the Navy, the Type 055 10,000-ton drive has attracted wide attention from the outside world since its birth. With a full load displacement of 12,300 tons, the United States calls it a cruiser, which has all-round combat capability of anti-ship and anti-missile air defense, and its comprehensive combat capability has even surpassed the United States in the field of destroyers. The 112 vertical launch unit has strong sustained firepower, and is even equipped with hypersonic anti-ship missiles, which are said to have a range of more than 1,500 kilometers, which is equivalent to the sea Dongfeng Express, which can constitute a strong deterrent to US aircraft carriers.
Of course, for the Navy, only 8 Type 055 destroyers are certainly not enough, and various sources indicate that the second batch has already been built. The number of builds can refer to the first batch, and there must be a difference in performance that is more powerful, and perhaps it is possible to see new ships launched next year. Not only should it be properly allocated to the East China Sea Fleet, but also the Fujian ship will soon be equipped into service, and it also needs to be equipped with a Type 055 10,000-ton drive, which can be used at any time after preparing to form combat effectiveness. In terms of performance, it will be equipped with a stronger radar system, and perhaps the all-electric propulsion, electromagnetic gun, laser**, and more new shipborne missiles that everyone is looking forward to.

In addition, there is a quasi-new equipment Type 039C conventional submarine, which is based on the improved and optimized model of the Type 039 conventional submarine, and is particularly sci-fi in shape, which is the most advanced conventional submarine in the Navy at present. In foreign media comments, it is believed that the Type 039C adopts a unique conning tower enclosure, which helps to improve the acoustic stealth ability of the submarine, make it more concealed when navigating underwater, and effectively improve the combat capability of the submarine. The most recognizable pagoda-type command enclosure shell, which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, presents a trapezoidal shape and is nicknamed "mushroom head", and the surface is laid with silencing tiles to absorb sound radiation.
As the final modified model of the Type 039, the Type C has an underwater displacement of 3,600 tons, a depth of more than 300 meters, and a maximum underwater speed of 22 knots. There are also 6 torpedo tubes, which can usually carry 12 torpedoes and 6 missiles, including 10 mm caliber guided torpedoes such as the Yu-533 for anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare. It is also possible to launch the YJ-18 sub-super dual-mode anti-ship missile, with a maximum range of 650 km, which is quite impressive, and can carry out anti-ship or land attacks.

The Type 039C submarine 054A, as a former "new youth", has been affirmed for its high cost performance for many years, and the new batch has continued to make dumplings this year. With more than 40 054A, it also became one of the most equipped frigates in the history of the Navy and the first in the history of the Navy to have regional air defense capabilities. The displacement is about 4,200 tons, which is a change from the previous Navy's frigate destroyer tonnage was too small, the combat capability is single, and there is no defect in the ability to deploy in the ocean.
Of course, the annual delivery of nearly 60,000 tons, although it seems much stronger than ordinary countries, but for the Chinese Navy, which is making up for the historical shortfall, it is certainly far from enough. For now, the Type 054B frigate has appeared, the performance is more advanced, and it is difficult to build another batch in the future, and the next generation of the Type 075 two-attack model is also in the pipeline, or a quasi-aircraft carrier with a catapult will soon appear. The scale of delivery next year is likely to exceed 100,000 tons again, and it is not surprising that there is a new cycle for the navy to make dumplings.
