Hot! The Chinese Navy is exerting its strength, and the second wave of shipbuilding is coming! According to the latest statistics, in 2023, nearly 150,000 tons of new warships will be unveiled in major shipyards in the north and south, and a larger and more advanced Chinese navy will pour into our field of vision. Don't worry, that's not all, let me reveal more details about this naval feast of global attention!
The West is hotly discussing the powerful rise of the Chinese Navy, and according to the official disclosure of the United States, the Chinese Navy has ranked second in the world, second only to the United States. With the addition of the new style, the displacement of the Chinese Navy has increased by nearly 1.2 million tons in the past decade, leaving behind the traditional navy. Interestingly, this splendor was accomplished in just ten years, which is jaw-dropping.
But that's not enough, according to the latest plans, China's second wave of shipbuilding will be completed by 2035. This wave will include 70 055 and 052D destroyers, 2 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, one conventionally powered aircraft carrier, and amphibious assault ships that introduce electromagnetic catapult technology. The total tonnage will soar to 3.5 million tons, and by then, China will become the world's most powerful naval force, which is impressive!
Don't think that the Chinese Navy is just stuck in the pile of numbers, no! They have a far-reaching plan. The shipbuilding plan will focus on improving the combat capabilities of anti-ship, anti-submarine, ocean-going, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The large number of Type 055 destroyers in service indicates that the Chinese Navy has changed its strategic thinking and shifted its main attack point from aircraft carrier battle groups to more flexible ships. The construction of nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered assault submarines is even more jaw-dropping, and China's maritime military power has been improved like never before.
This is not the end, Dalian Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipyard and other giants have begun to build large **, of which there are 5 Type 055 destroyers! All this is no coincidence, China is demonstrating its gradually sophisticated naval system. The traditional aircraft carrier formation combat mode is no longer applicable, and future wars will pay more attention to decentralized combat as a unit and autonomous combat capability as the main means of attack, which also brings new challenges to China's naval development.
In this naval feast of global attention, China is moving towards building a first-class force to rival the U.S. Navy, which is not a dream, but a reality that is happening. In the next decade, China's fleet will once again demonstrate its ambitions to the world, striking at the status of a global power. Let us witness the strong rise of the Chinese Navy and look forward to their more brilliant achievements on the global stage! This is not only China's self-confidence, but also a great change in the global naval landscape, which is exciting!
