The Tang Empire now had many ports, and the giant ports included Linshui, Beiyuan, Dongwan, Nanshan, Longgang, and Weigang.
So many ports actually have giant docks and can build large ships. Among them, Nanshan Linshui of Weigang mainly builds civilian ships, and Beiyuandongwan of Longgang mainly builds military warships.
However, with the development of time, these ports have the task of building various ships, and they cannot be so strictly defined.
For example, Wei Port is a port that mainly builds civilian super-large ships. However, after the Tang Empire prepared to expand its military and prepare for war, it also began to undertake the task of building No. 4 and No. 5 aircraft carriers.
In addition, part of the dockyard in Linshui Port is used to build large military ships, including guided missile cruisers and guided missile destroyers of the Tang Empire.
The appearance of these battleships is actually completely different from traditional destroyers and cruisers, so their functions are also completely different.
The new Datang Empire missile ships have gotten rid of the basic configuration of artillery battleships, increased the size of the superstructure to equip more electronic equipment, and reduced the number of artillery in order to add more missile positions.
Among the trade-offs, the missile has been placed in the most important position because of its powerful functionality. In order to make way for the new missile system, other functions on the destroyer can only make way honestly.
Because of the prophet Tang Mo, the destroyers of the Tang Empire did not make any detours. The latest guided missile destroyer directly canceled the rear main gun and designed a relatively huge helicopter hangar.
Although from the current perspective, the role of this helicopter hangar is not that huge, Tang Mo knew that future anti-submarine warfare and relay guidance would be inseparable from carrier-based helicopters.
Most of the space at the rear of the hull is occupied by helicopters and helicopter hangars, leaving only the chimney in the middle of the hull and anti-ship missiles that can be found everywhere.
Due to tactical thinking, the development speed of the Tang Empire's anti-ship missiles was actually not too fast. After all, the core tactics of the Datang Empire's navy did not rely on destroyers for anti-ship missiles.
To put it bluntly, destroyers have always been the sword-carrying guards of aircraft carriers in the Imperial Navy of the Tang Dynasty. The Imperial Navy of the Tang Dynasty did not expect destroyers to perform anti-ship missions at all.
As for whether those terrifying trump cards of the Rabbit Navy will be developed in the future, that is a matter for later, and there is no need for it now.
There is no way, carrier-based aircraft are really good at anti-ship, low cost, flexible and easy to use, much better than anti-ship missiles.
The anti-ship missiles of this era are not as smart and powerful as their later successors, so they are not yet able to challenge the carrier-based aircraft anti-ship system.
In the future, when the rabbits' eagle-shooting skills are revealed, it will be too late to discuss which one is better, carrier-based aircraft or missiles.
In front of the chimney and anti-ship missiles is naturally the huge bridge, which integrates the entire battleship's command system, electronic system, communication system and radar detection system. So many devices are brought together without interfering with each other.
, itself is a difficult problem that tests the level of electronic technology.
In fact, after installing so many systems, there is little room on the bridge and mast to install other equipment.
Therefore, those anti-aircraft guns that looked like hedgehogs in the past can no longer be installed around the bridge.
In the end, two multi-purpose anti-aircraft machine guns were placed in the corners, barely managing to cope with the conflict.
The main anti-aircraft weapons of the entire battleship are actually concentrated on the front end of the battleship: a single-arm automatic loading anti-aircraft missile launcher, and a 127 mm caliber fully automatic naval gun.
This is basically the old anti-aircraft weapon system on the entire destroyer. It looks very simple, but its actual effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.
In order for these two systems to work efficiently, two sets of fire control radars on the bridge will guide anti-aircraft missiles and naval guns. When attacking slow-moving targets, their damage efficiency is almost 100%.
Compared with air defense, anti-submarine warfare lags behind: the new warship retains the bow sonar and installs two sets of anti-submarine rocket depth bomb launchers on the bow.
However, to make way for missiles, the range of the torpedoes used on the new warships has been reduced, so the anti-submarine capabilities of the entire warship can only be considered average.
At least until the Tang Empire's version of the Black Hawk helicopter navy enters service, the anti-submarine capabilities of the new warships will be substantially improved.
Judging from this battleship layout, the new destroyers of the Tang Empire are actually no different from modern guided missile destroyers.
This layout is very reasonable and easy for subsequent improvements and modifications. In addition, the Imperial Navy of the Tang Dynasty has always emphasized blue water navy and long-term ocean operations. Therefore, the tonnage of the new destroyer has soared to 7,000 tons, which is already on par with the cruisers of other countries.
Up and down.
Because Tang Mo was very aware of the forward-looking nature of this design, the new Tang Imperial Navy cruiser also had the same layout, except that a more powerful radar was installed and two sets of anti-aircraft missiles were placed at the front and rear.
The new cruiser has a full load displacement of 9,000 tons, which leaves a little room for improvement for subsequent new warships.
The huge tonnage leaves a lot of room for these new warships to make subsequent improvements, including towed sonar, more advanced radar, larger missiles...
At the same time, their huge bodies also make these warships a relatively stable maritime launch platform, and their anti-sinkability is also guaranteed.
The huge hull provides a relatively comfortable living environment for naval officers and soldiers. The space inside the warship is spacious, and there are large reserves of food and fuel. It can better perform maritime missions alone for a long time.
The development of a phased array radar system specially designed for naval warships has also begun, and the development of a new vertical missile launch system has also been put on the agenda.
In the ports of the Tang Empire, such new warships are being built crazily. The Beiyuan-class destroyers of the past have become today's Niu Madam, and the Tengyun-class guided missile destroyers and Sishui-class guided missile cruisers have become the generals of the Tang Dynasty Navy.
Their new favorite.
Along with the construction of these new missile ships, the Tang Empire also began to sell its existing artillery destroyers on a large scale.
Although these artillery destroyers are not equipped with missiles, they are equipped with early radars. This is a rare good thing for the navies of various countries.
