In the past ten years, my country has not only had three aircraft carriers, but also the systematic combat capability of our aircraft carrier formation has become stronger and stronger.
In recent years, the construction of the People’s Navy’s equipment system has accelerated development, the system has been more integrated, the formation has been more optimized, and the continuous entry of new ships has also continuously enhanced the system combat capability of the People’s Navy aircraft carrier formation.
On September 1, 2017, the new ocean-going integrated supply ship Hulun Lake was commissioned. Since then, the aircraft carrier formation has a mobile “gas station” at sea. The ocean-going integrated supply ship is a supply ship specially assigned to the aircraft carrier formation. Its appearance enables the aircraft carrier formation to have the ability to expand to the open sea.
As the “knife escort” of the aircraft carrier formation, the destroyer, from the first 052C guided missile destroyer, to the 052D guided missile destroyer, and now the 055 guided missile destroyer, the tonnage of the ships is getting bigger and bigger, and the weapon systems it accommodates are also getting bigger and bigger. more.
Among them, the Type 055 guided missile destroyer, as a large destroyer of 10,000 tons, has successively broken through a series of key technologies such as the overall design, information integration, and final assembly construction of large ships, and is equipped with new air defense, anti-missile, anti-ship, and anti-submarine weapons. information perception, air defense and missile defense, and sea strike capabilities. It not only effectively enhances the escort capability of the aircraft carrier formation, but also further optimizes and improves the maritime defense combat equipment.
At the same time, the “fist force” of the People’s Navy’s amphibious operations has gradually taken shape. As a new type of ship, the Type 075 amphibious assault ship can carry not only landing ships and amphibious vehicles, but also helicopters and even fixed-wing aircraft, so it is often called “helicopter carrier” or “light aircraft carrier”.
The Type 075 amphibious assault ship can carry out diversified war and non-war military operations in multi-domain battlefield spaces such as land, sea and air, which greatly expands the scope of the People’s Navy’s tasks. irreplaceable role.
