You have to ask me what is the strength of the Type 055 large destroyer? I can tell you with great confidence that a "Nanchang" ship is not only capable of independently deterring the western Pacific Ocean and amazed the whole world, but even opened the missile cover to directly conduct "sparring" with foreign aircraft carrier formations and successfully drove out the enemy?
The "Nanchang" ship forcefully forced back the foreign aircraft carrier
I believe that friends who often pay attention to military news have brushed up on a news released by CCTV, that is, in 2022, the Type 055 Nanchang ship was suddenly harassed by the US aircraft carrier "Lincoln" fleet when it was performing a mission in the open sea.
After receiving the order from its superiors, the Nanchang sailed out of nearly 100 nautical miles alone, approached the US aircraft carrier fleet, and turned on the early warning radar. For nearly 20 days, the US aircraft carrier fleet was continuously tracked and reconnoitred, effectively deterring the other side and ensuring the best of the best
Therefore, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee awarded the Nanchang the title of "Model of the Times" and notified it to the whole country. This is an affirmation of the outstanding achievements of the Nanchang ship, and also a recognition of its image representing the Chinese Navy at home and abroad. As a new generation of main destroyer, the Nanchang has become the pride and symbol of the Chinese Navy with its advanced performance and outstanding performance.
How strong is the Type 055 large destroyer?
After this incident, everyone must know that the combat effectiveness of my country's Type 055 large destroyer is by no means vegetarian, so where is it strong? The first thing that needs to be accepted is the two nicknames of the "Nanchang" ship, one is "escort with a knife" and the other is "mobile ammunition depot at sea".
If the combat effectiveness of the "Nanchang" ship was not strong, it would naturally not be possible to become the escort of the aircraft carrier, and it would not have received such a domineering nickname. It is worth noting that the powerful deterrent power of the "Nanchang" is not only to force enemy aircraft to retreat as we have seen, but more importantly, it is capable of launching a fatal blow against US aircraft carriers thousands of miles away.
And there are 4 points in this. First, the capability of striking at sea is a major characteristic of the "Nanchang."The YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missile it carries is not to be underestimated, and the US military is apprehensive about it.
Second, in terms of operational command capabilitiesThe domestically produced Type 346B "Sea Star" phased array radar carried by the "Nanchang" ship has excellent performance, with a monitoring radius of 500 kilometers, and can quickly respond to the movements of the US military.
Third, the air defense and anti-missile capabilities are strongEquipped with a variety of air defense**, the range is long and powerful.
Fourth, the "Nanchang" warship has a powerful land strike capabilityIt can launch effective strikes against US military bases in Asia and even on the US mainland, which makes the US military feel jealous.
My country has never been afraid of challenges
As one of the main ships of the Chinese Navy, the "Nanchang" has demonstrated the self-confidence and strength of the Chinese Navy. It is not a provocateur, but it is also not afraid of provocations. In the deep blue region, we dare to conduct exercises with American aircraft carriers, which are unique in the world. This kind of courage comes from the strong support of the country's strength, and it is also the reason why we dare to show our swords!
This attitude is a warning to the United States, Japan and other countries, reminding them of their self-respect. China does not believe in the so-called theory of deterrence. If they continue to provoke, the PLA will inevitably take tougher countermeasures. This self-confidence stems not only from its military strength, but also from China's firm defense stance and foreign policy.
China has always adhered to the principle of peaceful development, but will never tolerate any act that undermines national sovereignty and territorial integrity. In the international community, China upholds the spirit of win-win cooperation and advocates the settlement of disputes through dialogue and consultation. But at the same time, China has maintained a tough stance against provocations in order to safeguard its national interests and regional stability.
To sum up, the move of the "Nanchang" represents a brand-new image of the Chinese Navy, shows China's firm stance and strong strength in international affairs, and also contributes China's strength to the maintenance of world peace and stability.
