The arsenal ship is used to replace the aircraft carrier. After all, the aircraft carrier is the strike force of the Eagle State Navy. Now, replacing it with the arsenal ship is simply a ridicule of history.

Back then, Khrushchev was an absolute missile omnipotent. He didn't like aircraft carriers, he liked missiles. Now, what if the Eagle Nation used the money from aircraft carriers to build such arsenal ships?

The Eagle nation would really make it like this. After all, he pushed it early. If the Chief of Naval Operations, who likes arsenal ships, push it now, he might have come out by the time he commits suicide.

This thing is completely tasteless. Now in Qin Guan’s mouth, it is said to be tall. In fact, there are a lot of problems. The most important thing is that it places all hopes on the friendly army. .

Even the Eagle Nation, a country that prefers joint operations in the first place, will not work. After all, various accidents can happen in battle. What if the data link is cut under electromagnetic interference?

Its biggest problem is the lack of independent detection, operation, and self-defense capabilities, and it needs other friendly ships to support and protect. In the complex and changeable battlefield, it is not only restricted but also extremely risky; as long as it cannot successfully obtain friendly transmission data, it is a Floating target full of explosives. Speaking of stealth and tall, it does not have any protective capabilities. It can be easily killed with only the most common falling body bombs without anti-ship missiles.

More than 500 missiles, seemingly powerful, but in the actual implementation of force projection missions, the use of flexibility is not comparable to the aircraft carrier carrier aircraft. If it were used to replace the aircraft carrier, it would inevitably drive the commanders of the Eagle Nation Navy crazy.

It is precisely because of the various problems of the arsenal ship that it finally aborted. After countless years of exploration, they finally built the DDG-1000. This kind of battleship is the ultimate star-like glory. The appearance is completely similar to Qin Guan’s writings, but in terms of function, it is not entirely for stealth. This wave-piercing body is designed to have the ability to sail at high speeds, and with what all-electric propulsion schemes and integrated combat systems, it becomes one A warship that crosses the ages, of course, the cost is soaring, even the Eagle Nation itself can't afford it, and three ships will not be built.

Now, Qin Guan proposed this novel design, of course, to fool them into building an arsenal ship. This will be a trend in recent years. After Qin Guan's introduction is completed, the naval officers of the Eagle Nation are really deep. Was deeply attracted.

"Mr. Qin, can you give us this design drawing of yours?" Pete asked. Although it is not long, Pete and Qin Guan have become good friends. It's just a drawing. It's not a big deal, right?

"Of course it can." Qin Guan said, "I still have some detailed ideas. If you are interested, I can refine them and send them to you later."

From the weapon information system, extract some of the design information from the year and find a few drawings for them. It is too easy. Quickly let the Eagles build this kind of large fireworks on the sea.

Anyway, they spend a lot of military money, so it's not a big deal to make detours.

The visit on the warships of the Han State lasted the whole morning, and in the afternoon, it was time to visit the aircraft carrier of the Eagle State.

In fact, the Han Navy has been in contact many times. Chen Rui even participated in the professional training of the Eagle Navy and completed take-off and landing on their aircraft carriers. However, everyone is still very eager for aircraft carriers.

It is a pity that the senior navy officer did not come. The largest navy officer was Captain Wei. When he stepped off the helicopter, he looked at the wide flight deck. Captain Wei's eyes were full of envy. This is the most advanced Eagle Nation, and the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world, and the most powerful weapon delivery platform in the world.

The deck is wide, and on the back of the bridge, some carrier-based aircraft are docked.

Among them, the most awe-inspiring and the most beautiful is of course the Tomcat fighter with shrunken wings. This fighter has been in the limelight in recent years. After everyone came down, they did not directly embark on the carrier. The bridge, but to the parking area here.

Qin Guan did not stop in front of the Tomcat fighter. He stepped forward and walked to the F-18 Hornet fighter on the side.

This fighter seems to be more in line with the current concept of aerodynamics. The large-side wing, wing-body fusion, and the era of variable swept wings has passed.

"On our aircraft carrier, the Tomcat fighter is mainly used for fleet air defense, while the F-18 Hornet is mainly used for ground attack and sea attack. Of course, it can also conduct air defense operations at critical times." A large number of naval officers from the Eagle Nation followed, and the captain of the aircraft carrier introduced Qin Guan.

"As far as I know." Qin Guan said: "On the aircraft carrier, the operation of carrier-based aircraft is quite costly. If it is said that reducing the types of carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, can it effectively save operating funds?"

Aircraft carriers are quite expensive, not only the cost of construction, but also the cost of operation. So many fighters, use and maintenance, are quite expensive.

There are many types of aircraft on the Eagle State Navy’s aircraft carriers. So many aircraft are inconvenient to maintain. There are also a lot of spare parts. Therefore, from the perspective of economy, reducing the types of aircraft is quite Necessary.

In this regard, the Han State has long been prepared. The aircraft carriers after Han State only have three types of aircraft. The J-11 fighters act as all-rounders, air defense operations, and ground-to-sea attacks are all carried out by it. S- 3 Anti-submarine aircraft, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, transport aircraft, etc. modified from the airframe are used for support, plus helicopters, three are enough, which greatly reduces logistical support.

Let’s look at the Eagle Country again. There are quite a few types of carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers. There are F-14 Tomcat and F-18 on fighter jets. There are F-18 and A-6 on attack aircraft. -7, yes, F-18 is all-rounder. In fact, F/A-18 can be used for air defense and ground attack. The electronic warfare is EA-6B, the early warning aircraft is E-2, and the anti-submarine aircraft is S-3. Different, these complicated aircraft types greatly increase the burden of maintenance and maintenance, and increase the cost of use. If you want to reduce costs, you need to reduce the types of aircraft.

But what to reduce?

In fact, when the F/A-18 was built that year, it was because the Navy at that time felt that the Tomcat could not afford it, and planned to find a low-cost fighter to fight it. However, in fact, the F/A-18 was continuously equipped. In, the cost is constantly rising, and in the end, it is not cheaper than the Tomcat.

Tomcat is definitely not dead on the expensive operation.

If there were people from Grumman Company, Qin Guan would of course speak with them. Now, all naval officers are present, and there are also many Tomcat fans among them. Therefore, he can’t say too much, just Seek truth from facts.
