Yang Weijun, secretary of Zhangye Municipal Committee of Gansu Province, disclosed in his speech at the 7th plenary session of the 4th Committee of Zhangye City, China that the "Zhangye Ship" launched in February 20 16 officially joined the naval battle sequence in March this year. "Zhangye" frigate is a new generation of multi-purpose light frigate under the command of China Navy, belonging to China's Type 056 frigate. Its main task is to replace the 053H frigate series and the 037 submarine hunting series. These ships are long in age, low in tactical and technical indicators, backward in weapons and equipment, and poor in working and living environment for personnel, which makes it difficult to adapt to the combat tasks in the new period. It is used for offshore defense operations, undertakes daily patrol tasks, and provides support for relevant maritime law enforcement departments.
There are more and more types and quantities of main warships of China Navy, and two types of warships, 054A and 052D, are launched continuously. However, China's Type 056 frigate belongs to the "Xiajiaozi" brigade, and it can be launched faster. China has launched 465 frigates and 438+0 frigates, with 39 in service.
Zhang Ye is 89 meters long, with a ship width of 12 meters, a draft of 4 meters and a full displacement of 1400 tons.
The design is similar to a semi-slip hull. The bow is a deep V-shaped ship, but there is an obvious broken line from the back to the lower part of the bow, and then the draft at the bottom of the ship drops sharply, which has good seaworthiness and can provide a large hull space. It adopts stealth design, the hull floats, the superstructure inclines inward, forming a broken line running through the front and back of the hull, and the equipment on the hull, such as boats and torpedo tubes, is shielded, so the radar stealth effect is good.
In terms of weapons, the bow of the ship is equipped with a PJ26 single-tube 76MM stealth naval gun copied from Russian AK- 176. The gun is mainly used to attack sea and air targets. The initial velocity is 980m/s, and the firing rate is three steps, which are 30 rounds, 60 rounds and 120 rounds respectively. It can be automatically adjusted, which not only has strong alignment. In addition, two sets of double-mounted Eagle Strike 83 anti-ship missile launchers were installed between the main mast and the chimney of the ship, but they were still relatively old missile models and were standard equipment for naval destroyers in the first decade of the 2 1 century. Maximum range180km, but enough for offshore combat!
There are two H/PJ-H/PJ- 17 30mm machine gun weapon stations on both sides of the front of the superstructure, which are equipped with photoelectric shooting control devices and can be operated manually or fired automatically by remote control. The maximum firing rate can reach 350 rounds per minute, and the number of bullets that can be fired is 100 rounds. In addition to attacking small water targets at close range, it also has limited air defense capability.
However, there is no hangar at the stern. There is only one take-off and landing shipborne torpedo launching platform for A Zhi -9 helicopter to take off and land. However, the platform is equipped with a harpoon landing system to ensure that helicopters take off and land in bad weather. In addition, Zhangye Ship also has good anti-ship capability and radar system, which can effectively attack long-range targets!
It can be said that since the construction of 20 1 1, the 056 frigate has been launched and put into service very quickly, which also provides valuable experience for the construction of warships in China.
Moreover, its price is relatively low, and more can be built, which is conducive to the formation of a large-scale offshore combat fleet for our navy and is very beneficial to our future offshore operations. Only in this way can our navy truly go deep blue!
