Chinese destroyers of the 052 D "Nanning" type will arrive in the UAE in February of this year at the naval defense exhibition in Zayed, UAE.
In the spirit of open communication, after the arrival of the Chinese fleet in the United Arab Emirates, it generously invited American journalists to board the Nanning ship, much to the surprise of American journalist Xavier Avawasser.
Xavier Varwasser (Nanning).
Medium and American ship maintenance.
Xavier Varwasser was not too surprised by the height of 052 d, after all, he was a journalist and not a military professional, so he naturally did not know how developed these things were.
What surprised him even more was that the Nanning ship could still be maintained so well for more than two years.
Mr. Xavier Varwasser once said that after using all the ** in the United States, there will always be some places where the paint begins to peel off, or is rusty.
The rusty ** of the United States.
When a ** is put into service for a few months, such a situation will appear, so that the ** on the US ** ship looks as if it has been in a war.
In fact, not only the Nanning, but any giant ** in China, after two years of service, can remain in good condition.
Take China's Dandong as an example, it was decommissioned in May, and it can be seen from the ** that it is very old, and the hull is full of potholes, but there is no trace of rust or paint.
Although the Dandong was riddled with bullet marks, it was still as white as snow.
This Chinese ** is 36 years old, and it is a very old **. However, compared to the United States, they have just been put into use for many years, and they are still in the stage of upgrading.
Therefore, Xavier Varvaser, who is used to seeing the US ** ship, is not too surprised, after all, he has long been used to seeing such things as the Nanning ship.
Some people may think that this is just a makeover, not a big deal, so what?
Ship maintenance and seafaring performance.
You must know that the maintenance of a good article has a great effect on the national strength of a country.
The rusty ** of the United States.
The maintenance of a ** can be said to be the embodiment of a country's national strength, if the regime is unstable, there will be many "gray areas".
Such a "gray area" will erode the structure of the entire fleet, turning the entire fleet into an "empty shell" and greatly reducing its combat effectiveness.
There are two main reasons for the peeling off and rust of the US ships, on the one hand, the United States outsources the maintenance work, and on the other hand, the discipline of the US people is much worse than before.
The rusty ** of the United States.
Can you imagine? Can the army still be outsourced?
This kind of policy cannot be adopted by China at all, not to mention whether private enterprises have the ability to do so, and not to talk about whether secrets will be leaked, but only to say that the "oil and water" in it, as well as the space that can be used, is enough to make the people dare not act rashly.
Because of the downturn in the U.S. shipbuilding industry, especially the shortage of labor, the United States is no longer able to maintain its own **. For example, the Norfolk shipyard in the United States laid off 3,400 people due to the new crown epidemic, resulting in a significant drop in the production capacity of the entire factory.
Norfolk Shipyard.
In 2022, the United States made another unprecedented decision to outsource ship maintenance to India.
Shipyards in the U.S. used to contract large ships to large shipbuilders in the United Kingdom and South Korea. India will be targeted by the United States in 2022.
In August this year, the US ship Charles Drew completed the maintenance work for India, which was also the first time that India provided services to the US ship. India's attainments in shipbuilding are also very amazing. I have to say that at this point, the United States is really willing to pay for it.
And the quality of naval fighters in the United States has been declining, which can be seen from the ** of the Americans.
Ship Repair Service.
The strength of the United States during World War II shocked the world, and even an aircraft carrier that was heavily damaged three times relied on its broken hull to support it.
In this Battle of the Coral Sea, York was severely beaten by the Japanese, and the Americans wanted to re-engage in the war, and it was impossible to go back to the war without three months.
However, by the time the Battle of the Coral Sea broke out, the United States and Japan had already set their sights on Tushima, and after 72 hours of fierce fighting, Yorktown was moved to another battlefield.
The ** of York City, with the maintenance work on the ship, quickly rushed towards the battlefield.
Yorktown's warships have begun to be repaired.
More than a month after the First World War at Midway, Yorktown was finally restored to normal operation with the help of the maintenance center.
However, the US Navy was not so easy to deal with, and after the "Good Richard" was on the **, the crew members who were doing the maintenance work fled in fear, seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, and finally became "old acquaintance Richard" and had to retire.
Old friend Richard.
How can such a force have real combat effectiveness?
It can be seen from this that the strength of the US Navy is indeed much worse than before, and even the quality of the military has a downward trend.
The "gray zone" of the US Navy
In addition, the decline of the management level has also caused many "gray areas". The U.S. side is notorious for its corruption, especially the U.S. Navy.
For example, the sink on the Ford ship in the United States is made of carbon fiber, while the toilet on the Ford is custom-made, and it costs $400,000 to flush it alone.
Ford carbon fiber washing tool.
It can be said that the US Navy is flaunting their wealth.
But that's fine, anyway, it doesn't hurt to spend money on something.
But the problem is that there are also areas in the U.S. that are short of cash, so they need to spend money. For example, in 2022, the U.S. Navy was exposed to a scandal that failed to pay its officers and soldiers on time for several months.
You must know that the consequences of deducting military salaries from the army are not good, and the US Navy spends nearly $10 billion a year, and there is even a situation of **, there must be something wrong with this.
U.S. Navy officers and men.
Therefore, the lack of the United States has made the national strength of the United States decline little by little. The peeling and rusting of paint on the U.S. ship is just one of the external signs.
