In recent years, the modernization of China's navy has made remarkable achievements, especially in China's independent research and development of the 055B destroyer is more prominent, the combat power of this new destroyer is not to be underestimated, the tonnage, some people, is likely to exceed the US military's "Zum" destroyer.
The reason why some people speculate like this is not unreasonable, let's take a look at the real situation of the Type 055B destroyer, according to public information: for the original version of the destroyer's tonnage has reached 12,000 tons, and after later improvements, it can reach 15,000 tons.
However, compared with the US "Zum" destroyer, the total tonnage is 14,800 tons, so compared with such data, we can find that in terms of total tonnage, it has indeed surpassed the US "Zum" destroyer.
This also makes the Type 055B destroyer the largest destroyer in the Chinese Navy to date, and it will also be equipped with advanced ship-based systems, such as the 128-cell vertical launch system (VLS), as well as an active phased array radar system.
The vertical launch system is a kind of equipment used to launch missiles, mainly has multi-functional, which can launch a variety of types of missiles, such as anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, etc., to increase flexibility, the system can be installed at any position on the ship, not limited by the structure of the ship, so that the design of the ship is more flexible and diversified, and the automatic control technology used in it can realize the rapid loading, launch and command and control of the missile.
This can greatly improve its hit accuracy, as well as combat efficiency, and secondly, the launch system does not need to expose the missile launcher on the deck, which means that the ship's radar reflection cross-sectional area can be reduced, thereby improving its own concealment and survivability.
Active phased array radar system is an advanced radar technology that uses phased array technology to achieve radar beam control and adjustment.
Phased array is a technology that controls the direction and shape of the radar beam by adjusting the phase and amplitude of each element in the array, while traditional mechanical scanning radar needs to rotate the antenna to scan the target, the system can achieve electronic scanning by adjusting the phase and amplitude of each cell in the array, allowing for faster and more flexible target detection and tracking.
In addition, it also has excellent air defense capabilities among destroyers, because it is equipped with a new anti-aircraft missile system that can track and attack multiple targets at the same time.
At present, the range of this missile system can reach 3,000 kilometers, compared with the range of the US "Zum" destroyer, which is only about 180 kilometers. Such data means that Type 055B destroyers can detect enemy targets earlier and be able to defend themselves more effectively against incoming enemy missiles.
Moreover, the destroyer is also equipped with the most advanced anti-submarine equipment, which can carry a variety of anti-submarine **, including anti-submarine missiles and anti-submarine ***, which makes it have a great advantage in anti-submarine warfare and can effectively counter submarine threats.
Generally speaking, after understanding the advantages of the Type 055B destroyer, we can also understand that the destroyer's combat power can be seen, because it not only has strong long-range strike capabilities, excellent air defense capabilities, advanced electronic equipment, advanced anti-submarine equipment, etc., and these advantages, really applied in modern naval warfare, are extremely important and functional.
However, we must also recognize one thing: for any ship, with advanced equipment, the performance is indeed advantageous, but the combat power of the warship does not completely depend on the strength of the first system, and the quality and training level of the crew will also be included during the period.
After all, the navy, which has always had an excellent contingent of crew members and a high level of training, can truly give full play to its combat effectiveness, and draw lessons from this aspect; while building the Type 055B destroyer, China's navy also needs to pay attention to training and improving the quality and training level of its crew.
Based on the above, we have to admit that the combat effectiveness of Type 055B destroyers is indeed not to be underestimated. And according to relevant data, its tonnage will indeed surpass the US military's "Zum" destroyer, and its advantage in this regard means that the destroyer has obvious advantages in terms of carrying capacity of the carrier-based ** system and other aspects.
In addition, it has excellent air defense capabilities, advanced anti-submarine equipment and shipboard electronics, which are all indispensable parts of military equipment.
However, we must also be clear about one thing, the combat power of the warship not only depends on the strength of the first-class system, but also requires a high level of crew and training, because only when the quality and training level of the crew are improved, can the combat power of the Type 055B destroyer be truly brought into play.
Therefore, while developing modern equipment, China's navy should also pay attention to training and improving the quality of its crews to ensure that the combat power of warships can be brought into full play.
