Warship of Great Power

  Chapter 98 Stealth missile boat

  Old Pan suddenly thought of something. The construction of the 052 destroyer has already started. Even if there are any problems that need to be solved, there is no need to bother Wu Shengli to come here. Wu Shengli is here for a brand new missile boat.

  Wu Shengli smiled: "Yeah, hurry up, take me to see the design drawing, why is it subversive?"

  The hull of a catamaran is completely different from that of a monohull, so this is already subversive, but what Mr. Pan said is definitely not this, so what is it?

   When he came to the computer room and saw the graphics on the screen, Wu Shengli opened his eyes wide: "This design is indeed different from our previous missile boats!"

what is the difference?

  Any type of missile boat before, or even any type of warship, is full of various equipment above the deck, which looks dazzling.

  The front main gun, the rear bridge, mast, and various chimneys, missile launchers, etc., make the top of the deck look colorful.

What now?

  The current missile boat has an extremely simple superstructure.

  There is a section of deck at the bow of the boat, and the buildings behind the deck are extending upwards and slanting inward, especially those portholes, which are also at this inclination angle, which is exactly the opposite of the previous layout.

  Portholes generally extend outward, so that people inside can directly see the situation on the deck and have a wide field of vision, but the current layout has lost this advantage.

   It looks very weird.

  Further back, all deck equipment is wrapped in the superstructure, and even the four anti-ship missile launchers at the rear are perfectly wrapped by the inclined side.

  Even, even the mast has the same shape, an inclined polyhedral structure, which is completely different from the previous simple layout of a pole.

   "What's the point of doing this?" Wu Shengli's adjutant asked, he was a little puzzled.

   "The superstructure is tightly wrapped and recycled. The advantage of this is that it can reflect the radar waves emitted from a distance into the sky." Pan Lao said.

   Reflected into the sky? What is the use? Wu Shengli rolled his eyes and thought of something: "Could it be a stealth design?"

In 1988, the Americans announced their F-117 attack aircraft for the first time. This special-shaped aircraft immediately attracted the attention of military experts all over the world. They were surprised to find that the aircraft could still be designed in this way. It does not conform to aerodynamics at all. In pursuit of radar invisibility, it makes the aircraft look like alien equipment.

However, everyone also learned some things from this shape. For example, the surface must be inclined to reflect the incoming electromagnetic waves to other directions. chance of discovery.

  Under the guidance of this idea, warship experts have also begun to find ways to reduce the radar reflection waves of warships, and Swedish experts are at the forefront.

In 1991, the world's first stealth experimental ship, the Smig, was officially put into service in Sweden and attracted countless attention. It's like being flattened, which makes people feel the designer's brain hole.

   But now, it is only 1990, and the construction of the Smig has not yet started. No one knows what the stealth ship should look like. How can they not be surprised when the design of this shape of the missile boat appears in front of them?

  Wu Shengli can still keep up with the trend of the times, from warships to airplanes, and then think of the usefulness of such a design, he is considered good enough.

"That's right, it's stealth." Elder Pan said, "The displacement of this ship is only over 200 tons. After such a design, in front of the radar, it is the same as a ten-ton speedboat. If the waves are slightly If it is bigger, it may be completely hidden in the waves."

  When Elder Pan said this, he was a little excited.

Think about it, a missile boat advances in the waves, and most of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the radar on the opposite side are reflected to the sky. There are not many electromagnetic waves left, and with the effect of countless waves, the enemy's radar screen , nothing can be seen. Their missile boats can get close to the opponent's warship within 40 kilometers, and then launch the anti-ship missiles they carry to send the enemy's warship into the seabed!

   "Is this all designed by Qin Tao?"

  Old Pan nodded, Qin Tao had designed all the shapes, and only reserved the positions for weapons that needed to be installed.

   "This kid is really capable! With this kind of design, the superior should be able to agree to build it. Anyway, it's just a missile boat, so it's okay to make a fuss." Wu Shengli said.

   "We don't seem to have found its chimney?" Wu Shengli's adjutant said.

"If only radar stealth is not enough, the exhaust of this missile boat is also very well designed. Since it is a catamaran, its exhaust port is set on the inside of the catamaran, which can greatly improve the Reduced infrared signature."

  Ordinary warships, the chimneys are located in the middle and rear, and the exhaust gas is directly discharged into the sky. In this way, the emitted infrared rays are very strong. But now this ship has exhaust pipes installed inside the two hulls, shielded by the hull, and combined with the effect of sea waves, it can greatly reduce the heat of the exhaust exhaust.

  This kind of operation can only be done by a catamaran.

   In this way, the radar and infrared have achieved good stealth effect, the designer's idea is too ingenious!

  Wu Shengli nodded with satisfaction: "I have produced some design drawings, and I want to take them back."

"OK."

   "Why does the location where the anti-ship missile is installed at the tail look a bit big?" the adjutant asked again.

   "Because there are four launch tubes inside, one on the left and one on the left, so this 200-ton missile boat can carry eight anti-ship missiles."

  Eight pieces?

  Wu Shengli's eyes widened. The missile boats they are currently producing can carry twice as many missiles! Regardless of any military branch, they all like great power.

  Existing missile boats can only accommodate four missile boats because the deck area of ​​missile boats is limited, and they cannot accommodate too many missile boats. However, this kind of catamaran has a large lateral width, which perfectly solves the problem of insufficient deck area.

  Its overall design is really great, and everyone who sees it will be full of praise.

Even the designers of the Ship Design Institute have been inspired. Their frigates and destroyers may also adopt some of this idea in the design, even if it reduces the radar reflection by 20 to 30%, that is not bad. of.
