One fleet is in service a year, and one fleet is launched in a yearThis is a true portrayal of our navy now, the Chinese navy has entered service or launched dozens of cutting-edge ships, let's take stock together!
The first is the ships already in service, including two 0.55 million ton drives, 107 "Zunyi" and 108 "Xianyang". Dual-band radar, integrated radio frequency system, 112 vertical launches, etc., the Type 055 destroyer is in a global leader in terms of tonnage, firepower, electronic equipment and stealth capabilities.
After two years of suspension, the construction of the second batch of 055 drives began, and after two years of precipitation, in addition to optimizing the problems of the first batch of 055, there may also be major changes, such as the all-electric propulsion system.
In 2023, the Navy also commissioned 7 new Type 054A frigates, but they did not attract much attention. Although the combat power of the 054A frigate is not as good as that of the 055 and 052D destroyers, it is also at an advanced level among frigates of the same class in the world. After Pakistan received our 054AP frigate, it showed off all over the world, for fear that others would not know, it can be seen that Mrs. Niu, whom we dislike, is still sweet in the eyes of most countries!
054a just launched
The 054A, which was originally scheduled to continue to build 20 ships, may be reduced to 10 ships with the successive launch of the new 054B frigates, and 37 ships have been commissioned so far, and the final number will be around 40.
In 2023, the total tonnage of the 9 main warships in service with the Chinese Navy will reach 520,000 tons, even more than the total tonnage of the Vietnamese Navy, in addition to the 039C type conventional power submarines and large tugboats, hospital ships and other logistics support ships, it is no exaggeration to have a fleet a year!
054A and 056 frigates.
In addition, the newly launched ships also indicate that the Navy will once again usher in the climax of shipbuilding, the second batch of 075 amphibious assault ships No. 4 was successfully launched, the new batch of 052D destroyers was launched, and the new 054B frigate was also launched one or two.
Newly launched 075 and 054B
In 2023, the Chinese Navy will have 9 new main combat ships in service and 7 new main combat ships launched, with a total tonnage of about 140,000 tons, not including logistics support ships, which are almost the same as the entire German Navy.
The full load displacement of the 075 is about 40,000 tons, second only to an American-class amphibious assault ship of the United States Navy, and about the same as the American Wasp-class amphibious assault ship.
075 can carry more than 30 *** to provide strong aviation fire support for the troops to rush to the beach, and the huge hull can also carry 40 amphibious combat vehicles, laying a solid foundation for the victory of the island capture operation in the future!
25 destroyers of 052D are already in service, and 10 are planned to be built in the fourth batch, for a total of 35 units. However, our future opponent is the powerful US Navy, and Japan and South Korea, which are allies of the United States, are not weak in naval strength, so the construction of our main destroyer cannot stop here, and the cost of the 055 drive is too high, and the number of builds will not be too much.
The number of 35 052d is simply not enough, at least more than 50, and it is likely to reach about 70 in the end, as for the deadline for the construction of the 052d series, or the 9000-ton 052e destroyer, it depends on the situation!
As the most advanced frigate in the Navy, the 054B frigate will have a tonnage of about 6,000 tons and will be used to replace the 054A and 056 frigates. The Chinese Navy has formed and is developing its own complete system of armament.
