Chapter 324 Torpedo Boat? (Subscribe)

Yangcheng Shipbuilding Industry Group.

This is already a huge construction site, with construction going on everywhere.

The original shipyard and railway are busy.

Six missile boats are already parked on the berth.

These missile boats are waiting for Liu Tao to test them before they are delivered to the troops.

This batch of missile boats will be delivered to the South China Sea Fleet to strengthen the strength of the South China Sea Fleet.

It is impossible for Liu Tao to test a missile boat after it is built.

Unless it is in Dalian Shipyard or transported to Dalian Shipyard.

However, these missile boats are all built in Guangdong Province or Fujian Province, so they will naturally not be driven to Dalian Shipyard, but to Yangcheng Shipbuilding Industry Group.

Then wait until Liu Tao arrives and conduct centralized testing.

"In terms of shipbuilding industry, it is still quite strong, and there are no moths." Liu Tao checked and showed satisfaction.

Although there are some problems, they are not big problems.

Simple repairs will be enough.

This time, Liu Tao came to Yangcheng Shipbuilding Group. In addition to testing these missile boats, he also inspected the expansion of the shipyard.

Liu Tao trusts the people below, but he will never trust them blindly.

If you don't go down to take a look, you may be fooled.

He never underestimates human nature.

This is why the discipline inspection team of Panshan Group is given huge power to inspect its various companies at any time, and once corruption is found, it will often not be tolerated.

There are not a few cadres who are dealt with every year.

Liu Tao repaired the problems of these missile boats and did not spend too many upgrade points.

Then he asked people to contact the South China Sea Fleet to deliver these six Type 022 missile boats.

Since the birth of the Type 022 missile boat last year, the originally planned Type 021 missile boat and Type 024 missile boat have stopped.

The three major fleets are looking forward to the Type 022 missile boat.

For the current Chinese Navy, any Type 022 missile boat can greatly enhance the strength of the navy.

Although the tonnage of the current Chinese Navy is quite large, there are even warships converted from wooden fishing boats. They are called warships, but in fact they are equipped with heavy machine guns or cannons.

The Navy even puts cannons or tanks on merchant ships to act as warships.

"Now the Navy also needs torpedo boats, it seems that we have to start developing torpedo boats." Liu Tao muttered to himself.

In 1979, the Soviet Union instructed the Soviet Navy Pacific Fleet to organize forces to station in Annan's Cam Ranh Bay, Da Nang, Bien Hoa and other naval and air force bases. On the one hand, the Minsk aircraft carrier, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, which had been in service for less than half a year, was transferred to the Pacific Fleet. The meaning is self-evident.

At that time, the main combat forces of the Chinese Navy's South China Sea Fleet included destroyers (1 Type 051), frigates (2 Type 01 and 2 Type 65), submarines, missile speedboats, anti-submarine boats, torpedo speedboats, frigates and reconnaissance ships, totaling more than 120 ships. In addition, more than 170 combat aircraft of the Navy's naval and air forces were also on standby.

Now the problem of missile boats has been solved, and we have the world's advanced Type 022 missile boats.

Advanced frigates are also being built.

Compared with frigates with long construction periods and large investments, there is no doubt that missile boats, submarine hunters, and torpedo boats can quickly make up for the shortcomings of the Chinese Navy and quickly enhance the strength of the Navy.

Here we have to mention the development strategy of the Chinese Navy.

In the 1950s, the Chinese Navy formulated the development strategy of "air, submarine, and fast". Torpedo boats are mainly responsible for the combat mission of destroying large enemy surface ships within 100 kilometers of the coast. From 1952 to 1962, China introduced and copied the design and built a batch of high-speed sea attack speedboats with simple structures, easy operation, maintenance and use from the Soviet Union. These small speedboats played a vital role in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Among them, there is the P-6 class torpedo boat. The P-6 class is a Soviet wooden planing torpedo boat. China assembled and manufactured 63 boats according to the drawings transferred for a fee, called the 6602 type. This type of boat is 25.05 meters long, 6.06 meters wide, 3.04 meters high, with a draft of 1.04 meters at the front and 1.37 meters at the rear. It has a displacement of 50-1 diesel engines, each with 1,200 horsepower, a speed of 43 knots per hour, a cruising range of 600 nautical miles, a crew of 16, and a twin 25mm naval gun on each front and rear deck.

Next is the 6625 type steel hull type, which was built according to the technical design and construction drawings of the hydrofoil speedboat-184 torpedo boat transferred by the Soviet Union. The first boat was officially put into production at the 425 factory in February 1966, launched in March 1967, and the No. 1 boat was completed and delivered in September 1968. The subsequent 7 boats, No. 2 to No. 8, were transferred to Hudong Shipyard for continued production.

The standard displacement of the 6625 torpedo boat is 39 tons, the full load displacement is 46 tons, the total length is 21.3 meters, the total width is 5.1 meters, the draft is 1 meter, the power is 3 M50F diesel engines, the power is 3300 horsepower, the maximum speed is 55 knots, the cruising range is 900 kilometers, the crew is 11 people, the reconnaissance system is a tank-top sea search radar, the weapons and equipment are 2 533 mm launch tubes, 2 61-type 25 mm double-barreled guns, and 2 14.5 mm twin machine guns.

This is the current torpedo boat of the Chinese Navy, there are only these two models, and some have even been in service for more than 20 years!

Liu Tao is going to develop it based on the 022 missile boat.

It does not need so many anti-ship missiles, but installs 2 sets of triple torpedo tubes.

Other things will not change much.

After all, the 022 missile boat is itself an excellent speedboat.

Torpedo boats, missile boats, etc. are just equipped with different weapons.

The advantage of using the 022 missile boat to develop torpedo boats is that a lot of equipment can be used and is common, which will undoubtedly further reduce costs.

"The navy is really a pit, purchasing warships on credit and paying on schedule." Liu Tao couldn't help but want to complain.

He felt that doing business with the army was simply being pitted.

For example, the 022 missile boat, the navy can't take out so much money at one time, and each 022 missile boat is paid for two years and 24 months, and there is no interest.

The 054 frigate is even more outrageous, with 3 years and 36 months of installments, and there is also no interest.

In this regard, it is more outrageous than the army.

If it weren't for supporting the construction of the navy, Liu Tao would not want to deal with the navy.

"When this torpedo boat is successfully developed and built, it will probably have the same effect." Liu Tao had a feeling that he had made a loss-making deal.

Liu Tao could understand that the navy wanted a new torpedo boat. The Type 022 missile boat was naturally advanced, but there was a problem, that is, it was expensive, expensive to purchase, and expensive to use.

The cost of an anti-ship missile, no matter how cheap it was, was not much cheaper.

But torpedo boats were different. The purchase of torpedo boats themselves was much cheaper, and the cost of using torpedoes would be much lower than the cost of using anti-ship missiles.

This was undoubtedly a good deal for the navy, which was tightening its belt.

Otherwise, from Liu Tao's personal perspective, torpedo boats were unnecessary.

There were already Type 022 missile boats, and another torpedo boat would be a bit redundant.

He even believed that as more missile boats were used, the torpedo boats in the world would gradually retire and then exit the stage of history.
