Chapter 950 Type 093 Nuclear Submarine Launched

This is also the Yangcheng Shipyard!

If we were to switch to other shipyards, we would have to rely on the state for funds. Like aircraft carriers, they would have to carry out long-term preliminary work. The state would need to allocate part of the money first, and then conduct preliminary demonstrations of the aircraft carrier project, and then demonstrate the technical plan of the aircraft carrier project. Comprehensively demonstrate the feasibility, necessity and overall development plan of the aircraft carrier project from a technical perspective.

This time can be as short as five or six years, or as long as more than ten years.

Then there are many technologies involved, which require technical breakthroughs, which may take several years.

Then it will take another few years for the aircraft carrier project to be officially approved, and then for the aircraft carrier to actually start construction.

Yangcheng Shipyard is different. It has its own funds, and the Panshan Group is behind it. It has abundant funds and does not need the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments, and it does not need financial funds or military expenditures.

The procedures for developing and building an aircraft carrier with its own funds are much simpler.

As long as it is built and the navy is satisfied and willing to pay for it, then it can be paid and delivered.

If the Navy is dissatisfied, Panshan Group will find an overseas country and export the solution, and it will not suffer a loss.

In order to show the importance to the Type 002 aircraft carrier, Liu Tao personally served as the chief engineer.

At the end of July, the Type 093 nuclear submarine held a launching ceremony.

As a new type of submarine, it took seven years from the start of construction to the launch of the first Type 093 nuclear submarine.

Of course, launching into the water does not mean that it will serve. There will still be a long time before launching into the water.

Next, it will undergo two years of outfitting and testing work, and will not be officially delivered to the Navy until the new millennium.

As for delivering it to the navy and actually forming combat effectiveness, it will also take some time.

In the vacated shipyard, there are no plans to build other shipyards, but to continue building the second Type 093 nuclear submarine.

As the situation changes, the external situation China faces becomes more and more complex, and it needs more trump cards and trump cards.

Type 093 nuclear submarines and Type 094 nuclear submarines are no longer what they were before, only one is needed as a deterrent.

In the next ten years or so, China plans to have 10 Type 093 nuclear submarines and 7 Type 094 nuclear submarines, thereby ensuring the strong combat effectiveness of its underwater submarine force. It is necessary to ensure that China's underwater submarine force can operate anywhere in the four oceans under extreme conditions. Nuclear weapons can be launched at the bottom, ensuring a second nuclear strike capability.

As for the Type 039 conventional submarine, in the next ten years, the Chinese Underwater Submarine Force will have 45 Type 039 conventional submarines, ensuring that it has strong conventional underwater combat capabilities in the Pacific and Indian Oceans and maintaining the safety of routes.

The launching ceremony of the Type 093 nuclear submarine was kept highly confidential. As for when it will be made public, it depends on the relevant departments.

Pentagon.

A high-level meeting is being held in the conference room.

Picture after picture, the pictures include the aircraft carrier "Experiment" and the Type 001 light aircraft carrier. There are also pictures of the "Sea Eagle" carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing and the "Ray Eagle" helicopter taking off and landing.

Some are space photos, some are photos taken from the air, and some are taken by ships.

We even took photos at the port.

The Americans have one of the most powerful intelligence organizations in the world. It is simply difficult for the United States to keep a major event like an aircraft carrier completely secret.

"According to multiple intelligence confirmations, this is an experimental aircraft carrier converted from a merchant ship, used to simulate aircraft carrier testing, including testing of carrier-based aircraft." The person in charge of intelligence introduced the 'Experimental' aircraft carrier, and then pointed the baton at 001 Type light aircraft carrier, "This one is a real aircraft carrier. According to our various intelligence, it can be judged that this is an aircraft carrier similar to the British Invincible-class light aircraft carrier. It has a displacement of about 20,000 tons and is a light aircraft carrier."

"Based on the intelligence from Thailand, this light aircraft carrier should be the one ordered by Thailand from China." George said solemnly: "Based on expert argumentation, it can be concluded that the carrier-based aircraft on this aircraft carrier are the same as those of the British." It is a short-range/vertical take-off and landing fighter similar to the Harrier carrier-based aircraft. The specific performance of this carrier-based aircraft cannot be confirmed. "

"The Chinese have formed an aircraft carrier formation based on this and are conducting training. The strength of the Chinese navy has improved rapidly in recent years. Based on the data we have, the strength of the Chinese navy has surpassed that of the United Kingdom and can rank third in the world." George said, "The current Chinese navy's warships are all very new. They are basically ships that have been in service since 1983. Their performance is very advanced and they have performed well in war."

"I have said that we should not export F14 fighter jets, F15 fighter jets, F16 fighter jets, and Black Hawk helicopters. Now, in just a few years, others have developed them!" A general said with great dissatisfaction: "This gives us It has caused a lot of trouble and losses. They are competing for orders from our companies. Now that they have even built an aircraft carrier, what else can they not build? "

"Robert, you can't say that. If we don't export, others can import from polar bears, and our losses will be even greater!" Another general said, "As for this aircraft carrier, it is only a light aircraft carrier. Our Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier, Enterprise-class aircraft carriers and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers are both large aircraft carriers, so we don’t need to be too nervous!”

With all Forrest-class aircraft carriers retired, the U.S. Navy now has 4 Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, 1 Enterprise-class aircraft carrier, and 7 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, for a total of 12 large aircraft carriers.

Except for the four Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, which are conventionally powered, the other eight are all nuclear-powered.

In terms of the navy, the US Navy is the undisputed number one.

Even when the Soviet Union was at its peak and its navy was the strongest, its naval strength was not as good as that of the US Navy.

In terms of the navy, the United States has very strong confidence.

"Then we should also be vigilant. We must let the congressmen know that they must increase our military spending, and the three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers that were canceled must continue to be built!" A naval general said very dissatisfiedly.

Because military spending was cut, the three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers that were originally planned to be built were all cut.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, which is actually the most advanced aircraft carrier, is a large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the current construction cost of one is 4.5 billion US dollars.

And this is because the United States has built 7 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, sharing the research and development costs and construction costs.

The United States cuts military spending, and the Air Force and Navy are the hardest hit areas, and large amounts of funds have been cut.

For example, the U.S. Navy saved $13.5 billion by canceling the construction plan of three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. It was originally planned to build 29 Seawolf-class nuclear submarines, and it was estimated that the total cost was $33.6 billion, an average of $1.158 billion per ship. However, with the depreciation of the US dollar and changes in the situation, only two Seawolf-class nuclear submarines under construction were approved to continue construction, and the construction of the other 27 Seawolf-class nuclear submarines was canceled. The construction cost of each of the two Seawolf-class nuclear submarines was as high as $2.4 billion, and the cancellation of 27 Seawolf-class submarines reduced the cost by $64.8 billion.
