Chapter 555 The French Fleet Visits
Just when Chang Haonan was busy preparing for the production task of the die forging press.
Shandong province, island city.
As a long whistle sounded, three warships with flags standing on the **** slowly emerged from the early morning mist, led by a pilot boat.
From the blue, white and red vertical stripes of the flag on the ship's mast, it is not difficult to tell that this is a French navy visiting fleet that has traveled a long distance and visited more than a dozen countries in front of it.
The destroyer Jean Bart, the frigate Geyue and the integrated supply ship Durance.
Several barges that had been prepared quickly drove over and helped three warships to dock sideways on one side of the pier.
On the other side corresponding to the three French warships, there are two of the most cutting-edge destroyers of the Chinese Navy, the Bingcheng and Daocheng.
Although the performance of the two Type 052 destroyers is slightly different from that of the Jean Bart, which has certain regional air defense capabilities, at least they do not suffer in terms of size.
As for the Durance River with a displacement of 17,900 tons…
It is indeed large, but it is not a combat ship after all.
“Is this a sea rattlesnake?”
Importing equipment and introducing technology from other countries is a very normal process of military construction.
Under normal circumstances, the first item of this kind of visit is a routine visit by the crews of both sides to each other's ships.
Among them, ship 112 is basically imported with original equipment, while ship 113 has been partially replaced with domestic products.
Fortunately, China has sent several groups of officers to the French Naval Academy for further training, so they are not completely out of things to talk to. In addition, before the visiting fleet arrives, a quite rich itinerary has actually been arranged, so there is no contact between them. It soon became natural.
Do not suffer psychologically.
But if the mutual trust is not good enough, then the only thing you can do is walk around the ship or even the front deck twice.
And the Chinese Navy also commissioned the larger Nanyun 953, the Qinghai Lake supply ship, into service in 1996.
Yang Shuyu next to him explained.
Lieutenant General Vojour stood on the destroyer Daocheng, looked up and looked around, and then saw many extremely familiar equipment.
This is certainly not surprising. Except for the power system imported from the United States, most of the weapons and electronic equipment of the Type 052 ship come from France.
Although this ship is not in the North Sea Fleet, it still gives everyone an idea of the comprehensive supply ship, and it will not be like Grandma Liu who has never seen it when she entered the Grand View Garden.
If mutual trust is high enough, this kind of visit can even go to the bridge, captain's room or even the Combat Intelligence Center (CIC).
The navies of China and France are certainly not allies, but they are friendly visits after all, so all non-core areas on the surface of the ships can still be opened.
There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing.
Although both parties have the idea of bringing closer to each other, there have not been many similar overseas visits before this, and there were some disagreements a few years ago, so the atmosphere between the two parties was somewhat stiff when they first met.
Vice Admiral Laurie Vojour, the commander of the French fleet, took the lead to step down from the Durance River and saluted each other with the Chinese leader, Lieutenant General Yang Shuyu.
Lieutenant General Vojour, who walked along the escalator to gun position B on the bow of the ship, raised his hand and patted the missile launcher in front of him and the missile box behind him.
The Sea Sidewinder equipped by the French Navy generally uses 4 rounds on the left and right, with a fire control radar design in the middle. This made Vojour not sure about it for a while.
On the shore, several rows of honor guards have also lined up, playing military music, and are ready to welcome the visiting ships entering the port.
If you insist on claiming other people's things as your own, it will appear that you are not confident enough.
“Our model is called Haihongqi 7 air defense missile. Of course, it is technically developed from Sea Sidewinder.”
“A very beautiful warship.”
Vojour originally wanted to make some weird remarks about the equipment level of the Chinese Navy. However, except for the anti-aircraft missiles, the antennas of this ship are almost eighty-nine times similar to the Jean Bart parked dozens of meters away.
Even if the model produced by China is not as good as the French original, it is impossible for him to really let both sides try to fire a few missiles.
In short, no matter what you say, it will boomerang into your head.
So I had to give an evaluation that was neither painful nor itchy nor wrong.
The group of people chatted all the way and finally walked from the bow to the stern of the ship.
For a 4,500-ton destroyer, the hangar and helicopter deck configuration of the Daocheng are considered luxurious.
One newly delivered Z-9C is fixed outside, and the other one is parked inside the hangar with its main rotor folded. Seeing these two helicopters, Vojour remembered the joint anti-submarine and search and rescue exercises in the next few days.
As the former captain of the aircraft carrier Clemenceau, he has a relatively good understanding of carrier-based aircraft.
Just after walking around for half a circle, he could tell that this aircraft was not the imported AS565 Panther, but a similar model modified by the Chinese based on the Dolphin.
The lieutenant general remembered that a few years ago, someone from Eurocopter told him that although the appearance of the Dolphin helicopter produced by China was similar to the original one, the flight performance and service life were very different, especially the effectiveness of the rotor end. The output power is only about 80% of the French product.
“It seems that during the exercise, we can do a little bit of manipulation to make them look embarrassed..."
Worru's brain was running rapidly, thinking to himself.
Of course, the main purpose of his trip is to get closer, so this kind of thing must be done in a certain manner.
At least you can't taunt the opponent directly, and you can't really cause anything big.
Must practice martial ethics.
“Perhaps we can fly an extended spiral joint search route?”
Worure thought about it over and over again and finally came up with a good plan.
The so-called extended spiral submarine search is a standard submarine search flight mode that starts from the initial position and gradually expands the search range to the outer circle.
At that time, we only need to slightly extend the search range and time, and wait until the fuel supply on China's side can no longer support it and choose to return.
This kind of rivalry is very common even within the same army, not to mention between the armies of the two countries. It is not excessive in any case.
But the effect is very good. The most important thing is that the outcome is clear and there is no room for ambiguity.
very suitable.
This paragraph is quite long to talk about, but brainstorming is quick.
So much so that after these thoughts circulated in Wojru's mind, he himself made a half circle around the helicopter.
“Wait a minute...you brought two anti-submarine torpedoes to this helicopter?”
When Yang Shuyu was working on the warship, the Chinese navy didn't even have a few ships with missiles, let alone ship-based helicopters.
After leaving the front line, his work did not involve the construction of naval aviation equipment, so although he knew something about it, he was not particularly specialized.
Just think of it as a casual question.
“Yes, two torpedoes and sonar.”
While answering, I was still thinking, this helicopter should also be a domestically produced French model. How come you, a French lieutenant general, don't know as well as I do...
In fact, according to the performance calibration of the new Z-9C helicopter by Bingfei Group, it can choose to carry dual torpedoes + suspended sonar, or a single torpedo + suspended sonar + sonar buoy.
A combat radius of no less than 30 nautical miles can be maintained under both mission loads.
It has exceeded the range of most submarine wire-guided torpedoes, which is considered sufficient.
However, the Chinese Navy does not have sonobuoys at all, so the latter configuration is naturally rarely used.
Wurru, who knew nothing about it, just nodded calmly.
According to his experience, if the AS565 is equipped with dual torpedoes and suspended sonar, the effective combat radius will not exceed 15 nautical miles, and it will even be difficult to enter hover.
And this imitation model is obviously only worse.
If the Chinese Navy is prepared to participate in exercises like this later, then his plan should go quite smoothly...
“Looking forward to our joint exercise in a few days, I hope you can put on a wonderful performance.”
After returning to the dock, Wojruer said to Yang Shuyu.
The latter was a little confused by this sudden sentence, but still responded politely:
“We look forward to it too.”
