In the field of shipbuilding industry, if India says it is the second slower in the world, I am afraid no one dares to compete for the first place. What is more funny is that the upper-level bureaucrats in India like to intervene randomly after the design indicators have been determined, resulting in various military equipment being delayed again and again, and ultimately delayed for decades but not completed.
And I don’t know why the Indians have been very lucky. During the construction of equipment, there are always some people who come and go to forcefully slow them down. For example, when the P-17A frigate was installed in a shipyard in Kolkata, India last year, the gantry crane suddenly collapsed and caused the superstructure to be hit, which had to be postponed.
India seems to have passed this problem to Russia, the largest source of their weapons. So before this year's Russian Navy Day, they hurriedly served the 22350 frigate No. 1 " Gorshkov Marshal". The frigate with a displacement of only 4,500 tons has been laid since 2006, and it took 12 years to build it countless times.
However, just recently, a new ship broke the most drag record in history. This is the boat's full load displacement is only 2,000 tons, but it took a full 17 years to build it. However, this time it is not Russia or India, but Russia's neighbor Polish (bordering with Russian territory Kaliningrad ).
As early as 2001, in order to enhance its ability to patrol the Baltic Sea, the Polish Navy invited German designers to design their own A-100 light frigate as the design basis, and designed their own "Gavlong" class frigate. The total length of this class frigate is 95 meters and the width is 13 meters. The full load displacement is larger than that of my country's 056 light frigate, reaching 2,090 tons.
originally planned to install a MK-41 vertical launch system and other anti-ship air defense missiles on the weapon system, which has 8 launch units, each loaded with four RIM-162 " Sea Sparrow " air defense missiles, and other anti-ship air defense missiles, which will fill a small warship with weapons.
However, this top-heavy design plan was eventually cut. The Poles were originally planning to serve at least 7 "Gavrons" before 2010, but due to various reasons, they were cut to the construction plan. The construction period of the only remaining " Silesia " was also delayed several times. It was not until November 13 that all the outfitting work was completed and the first sea trial was launched.
It is worth mentioning that this ship is the first time that the Plain Navy has received a new warship built by its own country within 25 years. All missile weapons on this poor 2,000-ton boat were removed, leaving only one "Otto Mera" 76mm rapid-fire gun. It is impossible to be a "frigate" in the future, and it is still more than enough to be a small patrol ship!
