The father of China's nuclear submarines is Huang Xuhua.
Huang Xuhua, born on February 24, 1924 in Haifeng County, Guangdong Province (now Tianqian Street, Shanwei City), ancestral home in Jieyang County, Guangdong Province, nuclear-powered submarine expert, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, winner of the Medal of the Republic, winner of the highest national science and technology award, honorary director and former director of the 719 Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.
The father of China's nuclear submarines"Huang Xuhua tells the legendary past and has been incognito for 30 years.
The following is a phased introduction to the development of China's nuclear submarines. 1. Initial stage (1950s-early 1960s):
At this stage, China began research and design work on nuclear submarines. In 1958, China officially launched its nuclear submarine development program. Since China lacked the relevant technology and equipment at that time, it imported some technology and equipment from the Soviet Union.
Soon China began to develop independently, and in the early 1960s, China established special research institutions, such as the China Ship Scientific Research Center, and began to develop key equipment such as the power system, the first system, and the navigation system of nuclear submarines.
2. Breakthrough stage (late 1960s-early 1970s):
After years of research and experimentation, China made a breakthrough in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1969, the hull of China's first nuclear submarine was completed, and it was launched in 1970.
This nuclear submarine is China's first attack nuclear submarine and was named "Long March 1". The boat is 80 meters long and 7 meters wide, with a displacement of 2,000 tons, a double-hull design and a maximum speed of 25 knots. The boat is armed with six 533-mm torpedo tubes and two 400-mm torpedo tubes, which can fire torpedoes and submarine-launched missiles.
3. Development stage (1970s-1980s):
After the breakthrough stage, China's nuclear submarine development entered the stage of development. In 1974, China's first nuclear submarine was officially commissioned, marking China as the fifth country in the world to have a nuclear submarine. Subsequently, China has successively built a number of nuclear submarines, including attack nuclear submarines of different types and ballistic missile nuclear submarines.
At this stage, the technical level of China's nuclear submarines has been significantly improved. For example, in the early 1980s, China developed a second-generation attack nuclear submarine, the Type 093 nuclear submarine. The boat uses more advanced silent technology and ** system, which has a faster speed and stronger combat capabilities.
At the same time, China has also developed a new generation of ballistic missile nuclear submarines, the Type 094 nuclear submarines, which can carry multiple ballistic missiles and have a longer strike range and higher strike accuracy.
Fourth, the modernization stage (1990s to present):
With the continuous progress of science and technology and the change of military needs, China's nuclear submarines began to be modernized in the 1990s. This stage is mainly to improve and upgrade the nuclear submarine's advanced system, detection system, communication system, etc. At the same time, China has also begun to develop new types of nuclear submarines, such as attack nuclear submarines and a new generation of ballistic missile nuclear submarines.
At this stage, China has developed the third-generation attack nuclear submarine Type 095 nuclear submarine and the attack nuclear submarine Type 096. These new nuclear submarines use more advanced silent technology, ** systems and detection systems, with faster speed, stronger combat capabilities and higher stealth performance. At the same time, China has also developed a new generation of ballistic missile nuclear submarines, the Type 096 nuclear submarines, which can carry a number of new ballistic missiles, with a longer strike range and higher strike accuracy.
In addition, China is constantly strengthening the combat capabilities of its nuclear submarines. For example, in the early 2010s, China developed new submarine-launched cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles with a longer strike range and increased strike accuracy. At the same time, China is also strengthening the detection capabilities of nuclear submarines, such as developing new sonar and radar systems, which have improved the accuracy and speed of target detection.
