Since the launch of the Fujian ship, it has attracted great attention from all over the world. High-precision optical satellites from European and American media frequently checked in on the Fujian ship and published satellite images of the Fujian ship at a very high frequency; when the Fujian ship was launched, Japan The ship was covered with the name "A" and moved around wildly outside the shipyard trying to get more information about the Fujian ship; in order to obtain first-hand information about the Fujian ship, the US military frequently arrived at Shanghai's offshore RC-135V strategic reconnaissance aircraft to detect the dynamics of 003 ; Russia has been trying to connect the Fujian ship and the Ulyanovsk.
Why are these countries so concerned about the Fujian ship? Are foreign military media even more concerned about the dynamics of the Fujian ship than domestic military media? The reason is: the launch of the Fujian ship also shattered the pride of countries such as the United States, Britain, Russia, France, India, and Japan. The pride that had been maintained for more than ten or even decades was suddenly kicked away by China and stepped on two feet. These countries were not broken. Being defensive, not jumping around, and not having an explosive mentality are not in line with the consistent style of this group of people.
After the launch of Fujian, the United States is no longer the only country in the world with a super aircraft carrier.
Whenever a war breaks out, the first reaction of Americans is always where our aircraft carrier is. Americans have long been accustomed to the status quo of U.S. aircraft carriers controlling strategic waterways around the world. Once the U.S. aircraft carriers temporarily withdraw from a certain area, there will be a strategic window period, and Americans will feel a very serious sense of insecurity.
It can be said that the United States' super aircraft carrier is the best business card of the United States and one of the important sources of American national pride. From Forrester to Ford, super aircraft carriers are exclusive to the U.S. Navy. The United States has always been the only country in the world with super aircraft carriers.
But everything changed after the Fujian ship was launched. The Fujian ship's full load displacement exceeds 80,000 tons, and may even exceed 90,000 tons, which is not much smaller than the U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier; the length of the Fujian ship is 320 meters, which is only one or two shorter than the U.S. aircraft carrier. Ten meters; As an 80,000-ton super aircraft carrier, the Fujian ship's shipborne radar is highly integrated. There are not many hemispherical radomes left on the aircraft carrier. All radars except the spherical radomes are left. All have been phased array, so that the number of phased array radar of the Fujian ship exceeds 32, and the radar advanced level is several blocks ahead of the Ford ;
The Fujian ship is equipped with three electromagnetic catapults , There is no essential difference in release efficiency and release capability from the Ford-class aircraft carrier equipped with four electromagnetic catapults (the three and four catapults are mutually exclusive, and it is impossible to use two catapults at the same time. In fact, two One of the catapults is used as a spare, but the number of trouble-free ejections of the electromagnetic catapult is higher. Therefore, the use of three catapults in 003 is like removing the spare tire in a car, which has no impact on the performance of the aircraft carrier.) Since the ejection capability of the electromagnetic catapult is highly reliable. Therefore, the Fujian ship's ejection capability may even exceed the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier .
In terms of elevators, the Fujian ship uses two large elevators that can lift two carrier-based aircraft at the same time. It is one less than the three-liter design of the Ford, but the elevators on the angled deck are used more frequently. Low, its main purpose is to lift ammunition. During a full-deck attack mission, the carrier-based aircraft release efficiency of the Fujian is similar to that of the Ford.
The Fujian ship is a super aircraft carrier that is not much worse than the American aircraft carrier in all aspects and is even stronger than the American aircraft carrier, so the Fujian ship is a super aircraft carrier.This means that the United States is no longer the only country in the world with a super aircraft carrier. The U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier has faced unprecedented strong challenges. How can the United States not pay attention to every move of the Fujian ship?
The Queen-class aircraft carrier was once the largest aircraft carrier outside the US Navy. The launch of the Fujian ship made Britain lose all its pride.
The Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier with many shortcomings. The Queen-class aircraft carrier is 280 meters long and 73 meters wide. The standard displacement is more than 65,000 tons, and the full load displacement is about 70,000 tons. Judging from the size and tonnage, the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier is obviously a large aircraft carrier.
However, as a large aircraft carrier, the main power unit of the Queen-class aircraft carrier is only two 36-megawatt MT-30 gas turbines . The power output only relies on four 20-megawatt electric motors . As a result, the Queen-class aircraft carrier is one A large aircraft carrier has a shaft horsepower of only 107,000 horsepower. This level of power can meet the power needs of a 20,000-ton aircraft carrier. It is not powerful enough to be placed on a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier. After being placed on the Queen, it will naturally As a result, the maximum speed of the Queen-class aircraft carrier is only 25 knots, making the Queen happy to claim the "laurel" of the world's slowest aircraft carrier.
And the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier is a large aircraft carrier. The take-off and landing method of its carrier-based aircraft does not use the STOBAR (ski-jump take-off and arrested landing) or CATOBAR (catapult take-off and arrested landing) standard for large aircraft carriers. Instead, it uses The STOVL configuration, which had previously been only used on the light aircraft carrier and the amphibious assault ship , has a direct consequence that the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier is too short, and the long-range strike capability of the carrier-based aircraft cannot be compared with normal aircraft of the same tonnage. The configuration of aircraft carrier is comparable.
It is true that the Queen class may have shortcomings of one kind or another, but the Queen class aircraft carrier is after all an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of nearly 70,000 tons. It is larger than the Chinese and Russian Kuznetsov, Liaoning, Shandong and other ships. Heavier, that is to say In the five years from 2017 to 2022, the Queen-class aircraft carrier is the largest aircraft carrier outside the US Navy, firmly holding the title of the world's largest active conventionally powered aircraft carrier.
But everything changed after the Fujian ship was launched! The Fujian ship has a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons, and is equipped with three electromagnetic bomb arresting cables. Its combat capabilities comprehensively surpass the Queen-class aircraft carrier. The performance of the Queen-class aircraft carrier cannot even be found in the tail lights of the Fujian ship, so the pride of the British Navy is no longer there. exists.
The Charles de Gaulle was the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the world for a long time. After the Fujian ship was launched, France’s pride disappeared, and France’s PPTs were not as good as the Fujian ship...
May 18, 2001 French Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle enters service. Because the Charles de Gaulle is the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the world that does not belong to the U.S. Navy, it is also the only non-U.S. aircraft carrier in the world equipped with a carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft, and it is also the world's largest non-U.S. CATOBAR aircraft carrier (formerly known as Foch's Brazilian Navy aircraft carrier Sao Paulo is also a CATOBAR aircraft carrier). After the Charles de Gaulle entered service, it naturally became the pride of the French Navy. France has always prided itself on being the second in the world to possess a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
After the launch of the Fujian aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle is no longer the largest non-American CATOBAR aircraft carrier in the world. Therefore, a major pride of the French navy was shattered by the Chinese navy. And the Fujian aircraft carrier has a carrier-based air wing. Fixed-wing early warning aircraft and carrier-based stealth fighters, so the French Navy is no longer the only country besides the U.S. Navy to have carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft. So another major pride has been shattered by the Chinese Navy.
The only remaining pride of the French Navy is that France is the only country in the world with non-American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The problem is that everyone knows that the Fujian ship is not a target ship for Chinese aircraft carriers . The Chinese Navy in the future will inevitably become The second country in the world to possess a nuclear-powered super aircraft carrier means that there is a big question mark as to how long the French Navy can maintain its pride.
What is even more embarrassing is the French Navy's next-generation aircraft carrier, the PANG plan. The service time is expected to be 2036/2038. However, the phased array radar of the PANG aircraft carrier is not as good as that of the Fujian ship, and China's nuclear-powered super aircraft carrier will definitely be PANG served first. It can only be said that the French navy will soon lose its pride. Isn’t France, which has always been proud, extremely depressed? Don’t we have to pay close attention to the progress of the Fujian ship?
The Fujian ship marks that the Chinese aircraft carrier has got rid of the influence of the Soviet aircraft carrier, and Russia can no longer be proud
The predecessor of the Chinese Navy's Liaoning ship was the Soviet Navy Varyag aircraft carrier cruiser, and the Shandong ship was the Chinese Navy's Liaoning An aircraft carrier designed based on the Shandong aircraft carrier. Although the Shandong captain is very similar to the Liaoning, the automation and sophistication of the shipboard equipment have been greatly improved. The area occupied by the ship island has been reduced, and the deck layout has also been optimized. But it is undeniable that the Shandong ship is also an aircraft carrier designed based on the Liaoning ship, which is an extension of the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier.
The Kiev and the Baku are both Kiev-class aircraft-carrying cruisers. However, during the adjustment of the Kiev to Baku, the top-sail three-coordinate long-range air search radar, the top-rudder three-coordinate air search radar, and the top-junction homing guidance radar were included. It was replaced by the 4-front 5-meter * 4-meter Sky Sentinel radar; the two twin-mounted AK-762 rapid-fire guns were replaced by two AK-100 naval guns, and the installation position of the naval gun was also changed from the original The middle part of the missile and the rear of the ship island were uniformly adjusted to the front of the ship island; the SA-N-3 air defense missile was removed; the SA-N-4 air defense missile was replaced by the SA-N-9 air defense missile with the same positioning. The launcher of the basalt anti-ship missile has been increased from 4*2 to 6*2, and the reloading capability of the basalt anti-ship missile has been cancelled; the 5-unit 533 torpedo launch tube has been cancelled; the hangar has been extended by 5.5 meters, and electronic jamming/ The support systems are also very different, but both are Kiev-class aircraft-carrying cruisers.
Comparison of Baku and Kiev at the same scale. It can be seen from the picture that the gap between the two is really big.
NATO indicates that the Shandong ship is a Kuznetsov modification. Russia has also been emphasizing that the Shandong ship is a Kuznetsov. Zov Kai has been emphasizing that the Shandong ship is an imitation of the Soviet aircraft carrier cruiser. It is really difficult for us to refute this view. After all, no matter how big the difference between the Shandong ship and the Liaoning ship is, there is still the Baku and the Kiev. The difference is big? Therefore, even if Kuznetsov waits until 2024 to return to service, Russian military fans can still deceive themselves and say that our aircraft carrier is still better than China's and that China has been imitating us.
The same scale picture of the Liaoning ship and the Shandong ship, source SHIPBUCKET, this picture is really good, much better than the plate version
But after the Fujian ship was put into service, Russian military fans could no longer deceive themselves. Electromagnetic in the Soviet period The catapult is not even a PPT, it is just a plan if it is stretched to death, but the Fujian ship is an aircraft carrier equipped with an electromagnetic catapult. It is really unreasonable to say that the Fujian ship copied the Ulyanovsk. Nowadays, China has stepped out of the Chinese-style aircraft carrier system, and the remnants of Soviet influence on the Fujian ships are almost gone. So why don’t Russian military fans and Russian military media pay attention to the developments of the Fujian ship?
When Russian military fans and Russian military media pay attention to the Fujian ship, their mentality is also very complicated. On the one hand, the Chinese aircraft carrier is really good, but on the other hand, iron cannot be made into steel. Russia used to be so much stronger than China. How can Russia be like this now? What's up?
The Fujian ship was launched, and the former glory of the Japanese Empire was shattered.
The Yamato-class battleship is equipped with 9 460 mm naval guns, 12 155 mm secondary guns and 156 25 mm anti-aircraft guns . Its full load displacement is as high as 72,810 tons. It became the world's largest warship when it entered service. The Yamato-class battleship's tonnage record remained until the USS Forrestal was commissioned in 1952, holding the record for the world's largest warship for 11 consecutive years.And as of 2022, Yamato will still be the largest warship in Asia. Therefore, whenever Japan recalls the glory of Yamato, the Japanese will feel a sense of pride. When facing other countries, Japan will There is a certain psychological advantage.
However, the Chinese Navy Fujian ship is a super aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons, which is more than 10,000 tons heavier than Yamato battleship . Japan's 81-year-old record for the largest warship was broken by the Fujian ship. The former glory of the Imperial Japanese Navy was completely shattered by the Chinese Navy. How can the Sea of Japan, which has its own responsibility to restore the Imperial Japanese Navy, not pay attention to the dynamics of the Fujian ship?
As for India? The Indian aircraft carrier is a joke and there is no need to pay attention to it. However, India still says that its PPT is better than the Fujian ship. As for other countries around the world, their attitudes towards the Fujian ship vary depending on the distance, ranging from the addition of a powerful enemy, to the addition of a father, to the addition of a challenger to the US aircraft carrier.
The Fujian ship has indeed created too many firsts and has become too many second places. How can the Fujian ship, which has so many auras, not attract great attention from all over the world? The Fujian ship will be the most powerful warship in the Chinese Navy for a long time, and we will only get more and more attention of this type.
The Fujian ship is worthy of our pride! However, the Fujian ship is only a phased goal for the Chinese Navy. In the future, we will have many larger and more powerful aircraft carriers than the Fujian ship! Military fans are all big pigs. Chinese military fans who are eager to wait for the next-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Chinese Navy are equivalent to 055. (Liaoning ship is equivalent to 052B, Shandong ship is equivalent to 052C, and Fujian ship is equivalent to 055. Equivalent to 052D, the next generation ship is equivalent to 055)
