The Navy Has No Nuclear Power, So What Does It Have To Do With Our Coast Guard?

Chapter 9

Five minutes later.

The 1601 Coast Guard ship stopped the high-speed turn test at a large angle and gradually reduced its speed.

The Wu-20 helicopter finally landed on the flight deck.

Staff Officer Cheng, Deputy Commander Wei, Captain Liu Hong and others jumped onto the deck one after another and carefully observed the Coast Guard ship.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the hangar next to the helicopter deck!

However, compared to the traditional huge helicopter hangar, the hangar on this Coast Guard ship is actually grid-like.

It looks more like a vertical launch unit protruding from the deck!

If it weren’t for the drone hive logo on it, everyone would almost make a mistake.

“This coast guard ship is even equipped with drone swarms. Could it be that it also has the ability to launch and command drone swarms to fight?”

Everyone was shocked.

“”Look, is that a stealth turret in front?”

Liu Hong suddenly pointed to the front of the coast guard ship and said.

Looking in the direction of his finger, everyone immediately saw a diamond-shaped turret.

The gun cover of this turret was tilted at a large angle, completely covering the main part of the ship’s gun.

If it was in a state of alert, the gun cover would open from the middle, revealing the hidden gun inside!

“This is too much, a coast guard ship is not only equipped with drone honeycombs, but also stealth turrets?”

Everyone present looked at each other, unable to hide their inner shock.

This configuration, let alone on a coast guard ship, is absolutely at the top of the pyramid even if it is used in the navy of the world!

“Commander Wei, this coast guard ship is similar to our Type 52C destroyer in terms of displacement and hull. Do you think its configuration is very similar to that of a Western destroyer?”

After observing the ship, Staff Officer Cheng of the Navy Headquarters asked Deputy Commander Wei of the South China Sea Fleet.

“The configuration is very similar to that of a Western destroyer?”

“All-electric propulsion, radar stealth, sonar stealth, infrared stealth, stealth turret……”

“Wait, are you talking about the USS Zumwalt destroyer, which is known as the future sci-fi warship?”

Deputy Commander Wei thought about it carefully and said quickly

“Yes, it’s the Zumwalt destroyer!”

“And it’s the PPT version of the Zumwalt destroyer!”

Staff Officer Cheng nodded and said.

As we all know, due to the problem of technical implementation, the Zumwalt in the PPT is much better than the Zumwalt actually built by the United States!

So Staff Officer Cheng emphasized the word”PPT version”!

After Staff Officer Cheng of the Navy Headquarters reminded everyone, they immediately compared the technical indicators of this coast guard ship with the Zumwalt destroyer.

Then they were very shocked to find that the 1601 coast guard ship actually successfully implemented all the technical indicators envisioned in the PPT of the United States?

“If I remember correctly, the average cost of building a single Zumwalt-class destroyer in the United States is 8 billion US dollars?”

“And we, a new type of coast guard ship, have actually reached the technical standards envisioned in his PPT?”

Staff Officer Cheng said to everyone with excitement in his eyes.

Compared with the Zumwalt, which can compete with the cost of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the 1601 coast guard ship is simply the king of cost performance.

“It’s a pity that this new type of coast guard ship does not have a vertical launch unit and therefore does not have the combat capability for modern naval warfare!”

“Otherwise, they could have served directly in our navy!”

Captain Liu Hong said with a hint of regret.

“What a pity?”

“Our coast guard brothers have designed a sample of the Dragon Country version of the future sci-fi battleship for us!”

“If we remove the special high-pressure water cannon for the coast guard installed in the stealth turret of this coast guard ship, and replace it with the 130mm naval gun of the Type 55,000-ton destroyer!”

“Then make effective use of the empty space in front of the deck and install the vertical launch unit!”

“Finally, if we add the 1130 close-in defense system, won’t it have the combat capability for modern naval warfare?”

“If this coast guard ship is converted into a new type of destroyer for our navy according to my idea, I can’t imagine how strong its combat effectiveness will be!”

Deputy Commander Wei gestured with his hands and spoke of his idea with emotion.

But his words made Qin Chuan, who hurried to the deck, confused!

What the hell?

Commander Wei of the South China Sea Fleet wants to convert the 1601 coast guard ship into a destroyer for the navy?

What about this nesting doll!

And who said that his 1601 coast guard ship does not have modern naval combat capabilities?

Who said that there is a high-pressure water cannon in his stealth turret?

It has an electromagnetic rail gun inside!

“”Chief, this cannot be changed!”

Qin Chuan saw several leaders standing at attention and saluting, and then he hurriedly said

“Chief Engineer Qin?”

“So you are the one who is in charge of the sea trials on this new coast guard ship?”

Captain Liu Hong was surprised when he saw Qin Chuan.

“Little Tongzhi from the Coast Guard, we meet again!”

“But I want to ask you, why can’t it be changed?”

“Now our navy is in fierce competition with the United States, and this coast guard ship can only play its greatest role when it is converted into a new type of destroyer!”

“If the Coast Guard needs it, we can also retire some warships and modify them for the Coast Guard to use!”

Deputy Commander Wei nodded to Qin Chuan who saluted, and then asked.

Qin Chuan listened to what Deputy Commander Wei said, showing a look of laughter and tears.

He knew that the other party had misunderstood the meaning of his words.

“Chief, I said it cannot be changed because this coast guard ship was converted from the navy’s Type 52C destroyer!”

“”Could it be that you want to convert it back into a destroyer?”

Qin Chuan asked.

Qin Chuan’s words instantly petrified everyone present!

Is this coast guard ship really converted from a Type 52C destroyer?

At first, they did raise this guess!

But after boarding the deck and seeing the completely different hangar and ship equipment layout, they denied their previous guess.

��The workload was too huge to systematically redesign the entire retired warship.
