"A warship, which weapon system is loaded depends on the nature of its mission." Qin Guan said: "The warship I designed has only one function, which is to use the large number of missiles it carries. Attack the land!"

The arsenal ship, this kind of warship does not need anything else, only a ground attack weapon.

"This kind of warship can also be called a large-capacity guided missile ship. The entire warship has more than 500 tubes of vertical launchers loaded with missiles. This is its main weapon and equipment. Of course, if it is not enough, it can also be equipped with 155 mm. Ground naval guns, MLRS multiple rockets and other sub-arms, its only task is to project force to the ground, mainly armed with various ground missiles including Tomahawk missiles. What is the role of warships? It is to attack land. , To realize the idea of ​​using the sea to control the land." Qin Guan put forward this brand new concept.

This concept is only for the Eagle State. After all, the warships of other countries are still worrying about seizing the sea power, and the Eagles have more than ten aircraft carriers, even the Xiong State Navy, they do not have the strength to compete with them. Therefore, the Eagle Nation’s navy does not have to worry about dominance of the sea. Most of the time, their navies are showing off at the doorsteps of other countries.

They have done a lot of warplanes and bombing other countries, but these are not the best. Once the warplanes are shot down, they will have to pay the cost of casualties, and there will be more dangerous rescue operations. Missiles are the best, there is no danger to people.

You know, Eagle Nation has been most afraid of death since the Monkey Nation War.

On the other hand, although the Eagle Nation and the Bear Nation began to reach the Intermediate Range Treaty, this treaty does not include cruise missiles. The Eagle Nation can continue to maintain an advantage in this regard. Their Tomahawk cruise missiles will be one of their battles in the future. Sharp weapon, and the most subtle thing is that they don't have any suitable equipment to use it in large quantities.

In later generations, the Eagle Nation modified its nuclear submarine to launch Tomahawk missiles, upgraded its cruiser and destroyer’s MK41 launch nest, and can launch Tomahawk missiles. Now, they have advanced Tomahawk missiles. There are not many launching devices, so it is their best choice to build a special battleship and do nothing else, just to launch Tomahawk missiles?

There must be at least five hundred tubes, and five hundred can be fired. Anyway, the Eagle Nation is rich and powerful. These are not a big deal. The Eagle Nation has such a warship that it can be even more powerful.

Qin Guan's words shocked them, and most of them were shocked. Now, no one has thought about it this way. After all, the real arsenal ship plan will not be proposed until 1995. At that time, he was the director of the Eagle Nation’s naval operations department and a supporter of this project. Just like the bear’s Gorshkov, he has been advancing the bear’s aircraft carrier. This guy likes super firepower, but, it’s a pity. He was already an old man, but he was still full of blood, and he would not handle things smoothly. In the end, he was angry and shot himself. Otherwise, he would really be able to see the Eagle Nation’s arsenal ship.

After a long time, the guy who opposed it just came out to speak again: "How can there be no electromagnetic radiation with so many missiles? How can these missiles be guided?"

In fact, the Tomahawk missile is a type of cruise missile. Before launching, the target data is already bound. However, how to determine the target data? Doesn’t it require warship detection? How can there be no electromagnetic radiation when warships want to detect?

"This is simple. Our warship is only equipped with missiles and nothing else. The target data is completely transmitted through friendly ships. We don’t need anything. Your navy has an advanced data link system. Question?" Qin Guan said.

As I said just now, this is a firepower ship. You can think of it as an arsenal. Why is it called an arsenal? That's what it means.

Rely on the data link to transmit information and bind data to the missile, so there is no need to radiate electromagnetic waves.

"What about air defense?" Someone continued to ask, "How does it intercept incoming enemies?"

Qin Guan showed an impatient expression: "Didn’t I tell you? He relies on his own invisibility. Don’t compare it with the current stealth battleship. Compared with your F117, your F117 needs Consider being attacked by enemy missiles and enemy anti-aircraft artillery?"

Although F117 starts with F, it does not have any air combat capabilities. It does not mount any air-to-air missiles and does not have a cannon. Its only weapon is the two precision-guided bombs in the bomb bay. These are still bombs. The missile, therefore, has to fly over the target and drop the bomb.

Risking the threat of the opponent’s various air defense weapons, flying to the top of the opponent’s head and dropping bombs, what does it rely on? Of course it is its outstanding invisibility.

The stealth of our warships is not enough now, but in the future, the stealth of warships will be substantially improved. The degree of qualitative changes caused by quantitative changes, you just don't use your mind!

"The shape of this arsenal ship adopts an extremely low superstructure and is completely inverted. The surface is smooth and concise, the radar cross-sectional area is low, and the hull structure is also very strong and resistant. It has a double-layer hull and a large amount of watertightness. Compartment and extremely thick armor, although it has no self-defense capability, it relies on various advanced concepts to reduce the probability of detection, being hit, damage to equipment and heavy armor to survive. Of course, if you don’t think so Don't worry, you can also mount various anti-aircraft missiles, but it does not have a radar system of its own, and it still needs to be guided by friendly ships."

Qin Guan's introduction for most of the day, his mouth was dry, and finally he said a more tempting condition: "It has another advantage, that is, the cost is very low."

Maintaining a huge navy is very expensive. You must know that compared to civilian ships, warships are many times stronger in power and anti-strike ability. Electronic systems are also a reason for the soaring cost. For example, the Aegis warship is like this. The electronic system above is quite expensive.

Look at the current warship? It removes most of the electronic systems, especially the expensive phased array radars, etc., and even various guidance measures and self-defense measures are removed. It is enough to build some launch tubes on them, which are not much more expensive than civilian ships. Moreover, its power does not need to be too high. It can be as high as 25 knots according to the civilian ship. Isn't such a powerful and low-cost warship a dish of the Eagle State Navy?

"The price you need to build an aircraft carrier, not to mention the carrier-based aircraft above, is enough to manufacture hundreds of such warships." Qin Guan said.
