This is really intriguing, because with the ship manufacturing strength of Taiwan Province in the past 20 years, although it has regressed a lot compared to its heyday, it is still more than enough to build a 1,000-ton amphibious dock landing ship , but the past 20 years have passed and there has been no movement. In recent years, my country has raised the issue of Taiwan's return, and it is also rumored that it will regain Taiwan in 2025, but it is rare to build such a main battleship in the second line.
So what is the purpose of the Taiwanese authorities to build this amphibious dock landing ship with a scale of more than 10,000 tons?
1. Counterattack: Although the news about Taiwan Province’s return to the mainland in 2025 has not been officially recognized and has always been a folk saying, this statement is not without basis. Because in the past decade, my country has not only equipped two medium and large aircraft carriers, and has been building a new generation of catapult aircraft carriers, dozens of ASCH ships and missile frigates, but also equipped with a number of amphibious beach landing weapons that can be used for large-scale and multi-angle beach landing operations in wartime, including an amphibious beach landing weapon that can be used for large-scale beach landing operations in wartime, 075 amphibious assault ships, 726 air cushion landing craft, a large bison air cushion landing ship, and Type 05 amphibious combat vehicles.
also has installed the carrier-based hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missiles including Dongfeng 21D, Dongfeng 26 and even the latest Eagle Strike 21 carrier-based hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missiles. It can be said that the PLA has installed multiple naval combat equipment in the ten-year journey of the Navy, which is enough to firmly win any naval battle, including beach landing.
And these weapons and equipment will be fully equipped around 2024 and form combat effectiveness, so the rumor that the recovery in 2025 is also slightly based. However, as this time node is getting closer, the Taiwanese authorities have rarely built such a 10,000-ton amphibious dock landing ship. If it is used for "counterattack", everyone understands that such an amphibious dock landing ship, let alone the first-tier Aegis Shield Shield, is much inferior to the 071 series dock landing ships with the same attributes, so instead of being used for counterattack, it is better to use it directly to "surrender".
2. Seizing the Island: A long time ago, the Taiwan authorities had formulated a series of "wartime emergency plans", one of which was a strategic plan to voluntarily give up the outer island and stick to the island during the war. According to this wartime emergency plan, the Taiwan Navy, which is involved in defending the island, will send large-scale main battleships such as the Yushan, which have large tonnage and large size to participate in defensive operations.
But it is really hard to imagine that Yushan, a main battleship with a full load displacement of only over 10,000 tons and a limited number of helicopters and amphibious tanks, can really not know how to hold on when facing various anti-ship missiles, and ASCHEU attacks? After all, many of these large dock landing ships, , will more or less adopt civilian ship construction technology. So in terms of resistance to strike and sinking resistance, I really don’t know if it can withstand the attack of an “Eagle Strike 12, 18, and 21” anti-ship missile? Once it is sunk, then I don’t know how to implement the “stay plan” proposed at the time?
3. Escape: In fact, at the beginning, I saw such a 10,000-ton amphibious dock ship, which is likely to be used for the idea of losing and running away. I personally agree with it. After all, this kind of 10,000-ton amphibious dock ship has a very wide internal space and is very advantageous for various cultural relics, valuables and large numbers of people to escape during wartime.
Moreover, the entire hull, the entire hull, not only adopts a stealth design to reduce the chance of being discovered, but also a closer look at this 10,000-ton warship will also reveal that its appearance is very similar to many civilian ships, so it is very suitable to "fish in troubled waters" and escape in the civilian ship during wartime.
But in summary, although the Yushan ship is the first 10,000-ton main battleship independently built by the Taiwan military, on the day of the war, it has no chance of winning whether it is used to counterattack, seize islands or escape. After all, since the construction and assembly of its ships, it can no longer escape any satellite eye in the world with reconnaissance capabilities. So instead of using it for counterattack, island capture and escape, it is better to complete the sea trial and really come after the war comes. Docking at a certain dock as a gift is the best ending.
