Ingels shipyard is located where the pascagula river flows into the Mississippi River. At the same time, its owner, the headquarters of Leighton Ship systems, is also here. Therefore, this small town in Mississippi is not only Ingels shipyard, but also the system service center of Leighton Ship systems.
This shipyard is also famous in Eagle country. It manufactures Eagle Navy, military ships and various types of commercial ships all over the world. At the same time, it is a world leader in design, construction, use, maintenance and repair. It has been the largest private enterprise in Mississippi since 1938.
Now, when people came to the shipyard, they were impressed by the spectacular scene of the shipyard.
Countless cranes are turning and carrying things. On the slipway, the scaffolding of warships is so high, and the sparks of electric arc splash. The whole shipyard is a busy scene.
Now, it is time for the eagle country to recover, and it is about to welcome the plan of 600 warships. Almost all shipyards are at full power.
In later generations, the shipbuilding industry of the Han country also developed. When the aircraft carrier was built on the large slipway, the scene was very spectacular. Now, looking at all this, Qin Guan's heart is also full of expectations. The development of the shipbuilding industry of the Han country is also urgent.
"I heard that you are looking for large tonnage advanced destroyers all over the world, so we are immediately ready to extend the hand of friendship. We all have a common enemy, and it is urgent for us to deal with the enemy." a general also came to meet them.
General Thomas, he is a veteran of the eagle Navy. The male cat fighter was built with his support. At the same time, he also has a close and friendly relationship with Grumman company. Now, when he heard that the Han people were looking for destroyers, he immediately set up a bridge and decided to sell Kidd class destroyers to the Han side.
Kidd class destroyer combines the combat system of Virginia class cruiser with the anti submarine combat capability of Spruance class destroyer. Its appearance is similar to Spruance class, but it increases the displacement and improves the performance of combat system. It is built on Spruance's ship body, but it does not have the latter's strong offensive capability.
Because of this, it will be sold to the Sabbath. If the offensive ability is too strong, the eagle country will never export out of its own security concerns.
Now, four Kidd class destroyers are quietly staying on one side of the wharf. Everyone is walking towards the wharf while listening to General Thomas.
"In this world, there are no eternal friends and no constant enemies. Even a year ago, we would never have thought that we and the Sabbath had come to the opposite so quickly." General Thomas sighed: "these four warships were originally built for the sabbath, but now they can only stay here quietly."
In 1974, the two sides were still friendly. At that time, they signed a contract to build four ships, and the first ship was started in June 1978. When the four destroyers were completed in 1979, the Sabbath changed.
The new regime implemented a radical anti hawk policy, quickly made bad relations with the Hawks, and all arms sales cases were dismissed.
Now, all the four warships have been built, but they can not be delivered to the navy of the sabbath, so there is no home.
After waiting quietly in the port for a year or two, the shipyard finally persuaded the eagle navy to equip this class of ships from 1981 to 1982 and renamed it "ayatula" class.
Now is the gap period. The eagle Navy is actually unwilling to want such warships at all. For them, new aegis warships will be built. They receive these warships, which are chicken ribs and useless at all. Historically, they have received them for more than ten years and retired and sealed them up.
Now, since the state of Han wants to sell it to the state of Han and earn two cents, it is of course the best. The people of the state of Sabbath have paid the bill. Now they want another sum from the people of the state of Han.
"The world is really wonderful. The male cat fighters we sold to the people of the Sabbath finally came into your hands. Now, the warships we built for the people of the Sabbath will finally come into your hands. Maybe this is God's arrangement," Thomas continued.
The other party was very interested, but Qin Guan and others were even more interested. They walked along the wharf to the Kidd class destroyer.
The displacement of this destroyer is close to 10000 tons. Compared with the brigade class of more than 3000 tons in the Han country, this warship is absolutely spectacular.
Captain Wei, who came with him, was full of expectations. If he could become the captain of this destroyer, how good it would be!
"Let's go up and have a look." under the leadership of General Thomas, stepping on the bridge between the bow and the wharf, we first came to the bow.
In front of the deck is a 127mm mk45 naval gun. Qin Guan has long made up his mind that the future naval gun standards of the Han country should be built according to 76mm and 127mm. After introducing this warship, you can map this 127mm naval gun and form a series.
Behind the naval gun is what they value most, the dual launcher of standard air defense missile.
At this time, the vertical launch system is still the most cutting-edge. Eagle will certainly not export it to its own side. It can only be in the form of the most commonly used dual launcher.
At the same time, we take different routes. The eagle people engage in hot launch and the Han country engage in cold launch.
In short, we must do this.
"Some time ago, Xiong's submarines went to the waters of Han to make trouble, which caused great trouble to you. Our destroyer has strong anti submarine capability. In addition to its own advanced bow sonar, there are anti submarine helicopters for you to choose from." General Thomas seemed very calm.
Kidd class destroyers were originally built in accordance with air defense destroyers, but they are large, can carry two anti submarine helicopters, and their anti submarine capability is absolutely not weak.
The Chinese navy has lost face, which is known in the naval circles all over the world. It's not a shame. With our destroyer, you can rest assured.
"At the same time, it also has air defense capability. What you see now is the mk-26 dual arm missile launcher, which can always launch the Beagle air defense missile."
Hearing the other party's words, Qin Guan frowned. In an instant, he had thought of something. No wonder the four Kidd class destroyers could be sold to his own side. It turned out that the people of the eagle country had already been ready!
