Chapter 743 Iranian Ships Approaching Surveillance
At this moment, the sea in the Persian Gulf is calm and the breeze is blowing, and the smell of salty sea water is not as obvious as usual.
When the three warships of the Red Police Navy were conducting various formation sailing tests in the high seas of the Persian Gulf, a small fishing boat was following them all the time on the distant sea.
For this small fishing boat, the Red Police Navy, which was undergoing formation training, did not take it seriously.
Not to mention that all the combat systems on the two sea scorpions and a multi-purpose destroyer are now in a shutdown state, even if all the electronic systems are turned on, they are not afraid of such a small scout ship.
Because it is impossible to install equipment that can intercept all electronic equipment and a large amount of information on a warship on such a small fishing boat.
There are at most some small monitoring instruments inside, and then some high-definition photos are taken, and there will be no more capabilities.
Otherwise, if you switch to a professional electronic reconnaissance ship, it will be completely different. In front of such a professional reconnaissance ship, all systems on the warship must be turned off, especially the radar signal and electronic spectrum, otherwise these signals will be intercepted immediately.
As for the sonar signal of the ship, there is no way to do it. After all, if this kind of thing is sailing on the sea, it is impossible to cover it up.
The three warships that are undergoing navigation tests of various formation formations have been changing formations freely, conducting various high-mobility evasive navigation tests of formations.
This time, Cai Ruichen did not carry out the anti-explosion sea test. The test results of the sea scorpion were very good. Naturally, there is no doubt about the production level of the warship at the base.
Therefore, there is no need to waste such time on such meaningless tests.
However, if there are other warships in the future, especially warships that may perform combat missions in high-threat theaters in the future, it is still necessary to conduct such tests.
The anti-explosion test is one purpose to detect the operating conditions of ships and equipment, and another purpose is to test the endurance limit of this warship.
These are very important data, and can also be used as a basis for warship commanders to conduct risk assessment during the war.
At present, the navy of the Red Police Corps has not formally formed any maritime formations. The fleet of the Red Police Navy will not be formally formed until there are more multi-purpose destroyers and sea scorpions.
Now the main task of the Red Police Navy is to jointly escort with the US Navy and jointly counter-terrorism at sea, and the rest is only training tasks.
In the shipyard, the second batch of sea scorpions is about to be completed, the second multi-purpose destroyer is about to be launched, and the third and fourth ships will follow.
The multi-purpose destroyer is a very good warship with a moderate tonnage, capable of performing various combat missions, and a veritable all-rounder.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen does not intend to stop the construction of multi-purpose destroyers at all. It is very normal to build a hundred or eighty ships in the future. However, it is easy to build a warship, but the maintenance cost and use cost of the whole life cycle are even more expensive. Huge fees.
Don't look at the current cost of building a multi-purpose destroyer is only two days of capital income from the base, but in fact, after a warship enters service, it is another expense just to have all the weapons, ammunition and missiles in place. The ship is also an expense. The fuel consumption of the voyage, future maintenance, training, etc. add up, and the cost will be at least five or six times the cost.
Everyone says that buying a car is easy and difficult to maintain, especially warships. As high-end combat weapons and equipment, in fact, in many ways, they can be said to be pampered. They must be well cared for, regularly maintained and overhauled within a specified period
are also necessary.
With the current base and the finances of the future technology group, it is impossible to support a hundred and eighty ships. Of course, it will definitely be possible in the future.
Now in the early stages of development, everything needs to be done step by step, otherwise it may lead to an imbalance of income and expenditure.
Otherwise, more than anyone else, Cai Ruichen wants to produce thousands of such warships in one go. When the time comes, let's see who dares to do anything to him, and directly overwhelm the fleet group, which can blow up any country in the world.
At present, Cai Ruichen only plans to build five or six multi-purpose destroyers, which is enough, and can be built on a large scale at any time when needed in the future.
After all, it only takes a few months, and it can be built on a large scale at one time. In terms of efficiency, as long as the funds are sufficient, the shipbuilding speed of all countries in the world can be completely surpassed.
At that time, if it can be accelerated, a large number of warships can be launched every day, and it will even reach the point where there are warships but no one is operating them.
In terms of training, similar to the current formation flight test, it is also an inevitable procedure.
Although the naval soldiers of the Red Police Corps are all very good naval sailors, they know the same thing, and they have to train every naval soldier to the point where they can no longer be proficient.
With the integration of various high-tech Red Police naval ships, the number of personnel required on the warship has become very small, but because of this, every position on the warship has become more important.
Take the all-electric propulsion system on the multi-functional destroyer as an example. Every operation link must not make mistakes, because it is very likely that due to an error in a certain link, or carelessness in operation, it will cause a power failure, which will make the entire system go wrong. A warship turned into scrap iron.
The soldiers of the Red Police Corps are not gods. In Cai Ruichen's view, they are also human beings, and they will inevitably make mistakes. Compared with soldiers from other countries, the probability of mistakes made by the soldiers of the Red Police Corps is the smallest.
And Cai Ruichen wants to continue to reduce this minimum probability to a smaller probability, so as to ensure that there will be no mistakes every time.
So even if these soldiers of the Red Police Corps are qualified soldiers as soon as they come out, Cai Ruichen still has not stopped training the troops to improve the combat quality of the soldiers of the Red Police Corps.
This time, he came to the warship just to take a good look at the operation of every department on the warship.
After simply visiting the outside of the warship, he immediately came to the core of the whole ship of this multi-functional destroyer - the combat situation center.
The combat situation center is the abbreviation of the war command and intelligence analysis center, and it is also the core key department of the combat effectiveness of the entire warship.
All the weapons, equipment and electronic equipment of the whole ship are all controlled from here, and the commander of the combat information center is also the third person in the whole ship's military rank, and is the third task below the captain and deputy captain.
According to the structure of the Red Police Navy, the captain of a multi-purpose destroyer is a lieutenant colonel, and the commander of the combat situation center is generally a captain or a major.
