Chapter 1166： Buy warship fishing

"Hey, Jason, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Dennis turned around and saw Yang Cheng approaching, opening his arms with a look of surprise, embracing him.

"I thought of you for sure to come back~" Yang Cheng joked.

Dennis shrugged, "Yes, wherever there are arms, I am there."

turned his head to look at David Ellison, "Good evening David, I know your father a lot~"

David Ellison shook hands with him, "I often hear my father mention you."

"Huh~Really? Then he must want to buy a plane from me. The guy Larry is crazy. Several times he even offered to buy the Super Hornet. For the sake of my life, I didn't agree."

Dennis's demeanor was very pompous, and after a joke, he quickly heated the atmosphere.

David Ellison is not a good stubborn, and he followed, "No, no, he has changed his taste recently and wants to get a destroyer for fishing."

Dennis immediately came over when he heard it, "Trust me, you will be a worthwhile trip tonight~"

David understood, "It seems that you have also received the news?"

Dennis patted his chest, "Are you kidding me, buddy? I'm Boeing's vice president of national defense and security. There are no secrets to me in the military field."

Yang Cheng heard David Ellison talk about it as early as when he was in Tianwu Pictures, but now Dennis said the same, so he couldn’t help being curious, and moved his head together, “Hey, You can't play dumb riddles, just talk about it, what's the situation?"

Dennis made a humble gesture and motioned to David Ellison.

Ellison was not welcome, and cleared his throat, "A while ago, there were only 5 Perry-class frigates left in service. One of them was maintained by Bath Steel. As a result, I didn’t know what happened and there was an explosion. , The hull is more severely damaged. If you want to repair it, you have to pay a lot of money and time. It is better to retire directly.

No matter what the reason, the warship was scrapped at Bath Steel’s dock. The navy was naturally unwilling and wanted to talk about it. Bath Steel had to swallow the loss in order to obtain the next order from the Navy. Not to mention the compensation to the Navy for a new warship, but also a pile of scrap iron.

In order to stop the loss, Bass Steel decided to dismantle all the offensive weapons and military radars and other equipment on the warship, and sent it here for auction. This incident has been popular since it broke out, but it has attracted a lot of collectors. Many small countries want to pick up the bargain because Bass Steel has determined that as long as the warship is taken over, they will be responsible for all maintenance costs to ensure that the warship is delivered to the customer intact. "

Bath Steel is a subsidiary of General Dynamics. It is an old American shipyard with strong strength. At least 30% of the surface or underwater ships of the US Navy are built at Bath Steel. It is reasonable to say that this kind of low-level mistake should not be made. No luck, God, his old man took a nap, and he harmed Bath Steel. This is a big loss. How much is a brand new warship? How much is an old warship worth more than 30 years?

Dennis continued, "To be honest, although the Perry-class frigates are famous, they are considered second-rate in the eyes of professionals like us. In the 1960s and 1970s, when the US and Soviet Union were competing for hegemony, they served as the US Navy. The Minister of Operations, creatively formulated a naval vessel development strategy of'high and low matching'.

is to build a small number of advanced large-scale multi-purpose warships to undertake important tasks such as formation air defense and long-range sea-to-ground strikes, and act as the main force of the formation;

Build a large number of economical warships, take on low- and medium-intensity tasks such as escorting amphibious combat formations, transport fleets, and protecting maritime communication lines, playing the role of coolies.

So, the Perry-class frigate with simple design, durable skin and suitable for mass equipment came into being, which effectively eased the funding pressure of the US Navy's expansion.

The combat effectiveness is also remarkable: it is good at anti-submarine, and can also perform anti-ship, **** and other tasks. It is a leader among general-purpose frigates, so many small countries use it as a capital ship, but in the United States, it is global. Among the countries in the world, I really can’t think of the reason why this kind of cargo has become the longest-lived ship of the US Navy. This tm is an unsolved mystery. "

Dennis has never seen the United States. From time to time, I can hear him making complaints about his competitors and even his own stupid behavior.

Yui Aragaki, who has been listening next to him, can understand a few key words even though he can't hear them completely. He is covering his mouth and I don't know what he thinks. Such a big man can complain about his country like this? Incredible!

"By the way, David, if you are sure to bid, I must remind you that the frigate that was involved in the accident has been in service for more than 30 years. The hull has begun to corrode and age, and the main load-bearing components are fatigued. To save costs, the Perry-class superstructures are all made of aluminum alloy, which has extremely poor fire resistance. You must consider these drawbacks."

Dennis kindly reminded that David Ellison is still very useful, "Thank you, but you can rest assured that the warship will be in our hands and will definitely undergo a full range of transformations. It is estimated that except for the overall structure, everything else must be in accordance with the yacht’s specifications. Need to move the knife, the technology is also the most advanced nowadays, security will also ask for multi-party supervision and supervision, there will be no problems Of course, you can think carefully, all right, you can talk about it, I will To meet a few friends, jason, you might as well ask the concierge for a list of lots. There are still a lot of interesting things."

Dennis looked like a dog in a tuxedo. Who would have thought that this guy would dare to do anything dirty in order to sell arms.

took his gaze back and touched David Ellison, "Hey, you really want to make it clear? Even if it is a castrated retired warship, the price will not be cheap."

"I didn't pay anyway. I was Delari. His low price was 20 million US dollars." David Ellison said secretly, he didn't want his low price to be heard.

Yang Cheng took a deep breath, "20 million? Have you forgotten the renovation cost?"

"Not yet, but I also found someone to estimate it, at least double it~"

Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. It is incomparable. It is indeed the Ellison family who spent more than half a billion dollars on an old warship and was happy to be with the three grandsons.

But thinking about it from another angle, building a 100-meter-long superyacht from the ground up is also a proper starting point for 9 figures. With this calculation, it seems that it is worthwhile to buy a warship transformation.

No matter what, it's not that Yang Cheng spends money. The necessary reminders are here. If you say too much, it is not beautiful!
