Chapter 231 704 Shipyard: I eat meat, you eat soup
Suppose that all domestic shipyards’ design and development plans for frigates all require the purchase of imported engines from abroad as power support.
The top brass of the Yan Kingdom Navy may still reluctantly consider making do with it temporarily.
The White Shark frigate design plan launched by 704 Shipyard now uses a completely domestically produced diesel engine.
As a result, the frigate designs submitted by other shipyards are very likely to be ruthlessly discarded by the Yan Kingdom Navy.
Because the "Hurricane" diesel engine developed by the 704 Shipyard performs so well, it can drive the White Shark frigate weighing more than 4,000 tons to speed on the sea at a speed of up to 28 knots.
This performance data is undoubtedly very attractive and accurately meets the Yanguo Navy's needs for frigate power.
Big and fast!
Who can not love this!
Large warships can intimidate opponents.
The fast speed makes it easier to chase opponents and evacuate the scene.
This is the dream frigate of the Yan Kingdom Navy.
What are the previous frigate design plans of major domestic shipyards?
Is there any?
Of course not!
A group of Yanguo navy: I didn’t see it.
I don’t know you!
A number of domestic shipyards: Bah! Scumbag! Love the new and forget the old.
When there was a shortage of frigates, the greetings were so cordial. Now that there are better frigate designs, the tone is so cold.
……
Immediately afterwards, Sun Yong continued to explain his carefully designed White Shark frigate to everyone in detail with a smile on his face and full of confidence.
His vivid and professional description seemed to make everyone present see with their own eyes the heroic appearance of this powerful warship riding the wind and waves on the sea.
This White Shark frigate is extraordinary, with a tonnage of more than 4,000 tons.
The captain reached an astonishing 134 meters. With such a huge volume and length, the designers took great pains in planning the stern part of the ship.
In the end, after repeated research and demonstration, they focused on creating a spacious and fully functional helicopter landing site.
This helicopter landing point is amazing. It can not only safely stop a heavy helicopter to perform key tasks such as transporting important personnel or materials;
If you encounter special circumstances or different combat needs , and can also be flexibly adjusted to accommodate two small and medium-sized anti-submarine ship-based helicopters at the same time.
In this way, it becomes easier to deal with the threat of enemy submarines or perform various emergency rescue operations.
Having such a helipad is of great significance to a frigate.
Because it greatly expands the scope of the frigate's ability to handle various complex events at sea.
When faced with emergencies, helicopters can be quickly dispatched to carry out a series of operations such as reconnaissance, search, rescue and even attack, which greatly improves the warship's response speed and combat efficiency.
After listening to Sun Yong’s introduction, all the senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and were full of praise for the White Shark frigate design in front of them.
Especially when they learned about the ingenious helicopter landing pad design at the end of the ship, they were even more surprised.
Originally, they themselves did not think of this important link, but they did not expect that 704 Shipyard had thought it through for them in advance.
This thoughtful and thoughtful design is really touching!
As an advanced maritime combat ship, the White Shark frigate has powerful firepower and a wide variety of weapons.
The first thing that catches the eye is the majestic 76mm naval gun. This huge gun is like the fangs in the mouth of a steel behemoth. It can carry out precise strikes on long-distance targets, whether they are enemies or not. Neither warships nor shore facilities can escape its gunfire coverage. In terms of close-range defense, two 7-barreled 30mm short-range defense guns guard the entire frigate like personal guards.
They weave a dense barrage with an extremely high rate of fire. Any enemy aircraft or anti-ship missiles that try to get close will be instantly torn into pieces.
Look at the impressive four quadruple missile launchers. These launchers carry various types of missiles, such as anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, etc.
Once a threat is detected, the missile will roar out like an arrow, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy.
There are also 4 eight-unit vertical launch missile launchers. This vertical launch system greatly improves the launch efficiency and response speed of missiles.
Various types of missiles can be quickly loaded and launched according to different mission requirements, allowing the White Shark frigate to always maintain a powerful attack power in battle.
In addition, the frigate is also equipped with two triple torpedo launch tubes. These torpedoes are like assassins in the deep sea. They quietly approach the target and then suddenly attack, causing heavy damage to enemy ships.
Two 6-tube multi-purpose rocket launchers can also provide diversified attack methods and can be used to attack water, air and coastal targets.
An hour passed quietly, and Sun Yong finally explained the various configurations and design plans of the White Shark frigate to the senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy.
The senior leaders of Yanguo Navy like the design of this frigate very much.
I can’t wait to make up my mind immediately and let 704 Shipyard quickly design, develop and manufacture the White Shark frigate.
Such a powerful frigate can guard the huge maritime territory for the Yan Kingdom.
The most important frigate, which is more than 4,000 tons, is difficult to be eliminated and will become one of the main warships of the aircraft carrier formation.
Immediately afterwards, the senior leaders of Yanguo Navy asked Sun Yong several questions about the White Shark frigate.
Also whether the Hurricane diesel engine on the White Shark frigate has been produced.
After receiving Sun Yong's accurate reply, the senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy asked them to leave the conference room first and go to other lounges to rest.
Lin Chenran took Sun Yong and others back to the original lounge.
At this time, Sun Yong did not feel as nervous as he did at the beginning.
Everything seems to have calmed down.
"Sun Yong, this time the design of the White Shark frigate will most likely be adopted by the top brass of the Navy. When the time comes, we must do our best to design and develop it."
When Lin Chenran left the conference room, he saw "satisfaction" on the faces of the senior leaders of the Yan Kingdom Navy.
704 Shipyard is already a sure shot in winning the order for Yanguo Navy frigates.
Since the White Shark frigate has a tonnage of only 4,000 tons, the price is much cheaper than the Aegis guided missile destroyer.
Lin Chenran guessed that the Yanguo Navy would place an order for six to eight ships.
At that time, 704 Shipyard will most likely distribute part of the order to other shipyards for construction.
There is no way, time does not allow, the Yan Kingdom Navy will send a large number of new warships to guard the Yan Kingdom's waters.
Lin Chenran didn’t think it mattered, anyway, most of the profits went into the “pockets” of the 704 Shipyard.
Other White Shark frigate orders taken from the 704 Shipyard can only "eat food and clothing".
The 704 shipyard is "eating the meat", while other shipyards that have taken orders for the White Shark frigates are "eating the soup".
