The U.S. opened satellite photos of Chinese naval port: more large warships nearing completion

"Four beautiful new warships moored in the Huangpu River in the dock, the hull has been equipped with artillery, radar antenna and spherical pod. These will delivered to the Navy’s warships, have entered the final stage of construction. Docked beside a while several huge The military transport ship, workers under the command of a naval officer, is installing new equipment to the above. (Once operational the transport ship,) the Chinese military at sea, the ability to transport personnel and supplies will be greatly enhanced. (At the same time ) under the shadow of skyscrapers in Shanghai, a shell rusty submarine, from the muddy Huangpu River in the exposed top of the "… …

Chinese general’s few words make all the speculation continued on the Chinese aircraft carrier, said to have been made, said to be in the making, and 3 years 5 years 10 years after the launching of that there, we guess is the whole day.

China has a carrier should not be surprised the outside world. This sentence is not casually said, indicating that the central government has determined to make the Navy has aircraft carriers as soon as possible, at least this is the meaning of military leaders.

As early as 20 years ago, China has begun construction of aircraft carriers were demonstrated, and has purchased more than decommissioned aircraft carrier study Varyag been modified for many years, after so many years of study and research, should be said that the ability of Chinese-made aircraft carrier already has. And in fact has already started construction in China, but the outside world not know about it. However, regarding the American aircraft carrier made in China is certain clear, but do not preach fills, and China fear "China threat" there would be no rush to make the aircraft carrier into the water.

The recent news further confirms previous speculation that the Chinese people build aircraft carriers are in fact what it absolutely is not a secret, because making such a big guy is unlikely to completely confidential, but one thing that the Chinese made a number of high secret weapons of the time (including aerospace, aviation, nuclear and laser weapons are a number of other advanced jointly developed, most participants are developed or received formal exposure from an unknown prize has only guess a certain project also established the power.) Including the Varyag, including China-made aircraft carrier in fact have been nearly completed, but the timing did not feel the water that it will not let it be completed, these things are semi-finished products of the. This reserve some of the advanced weapons in Japan, as necessary, will soon be completed.

Ukraine, Russian experts have been out of China-made aircraft carrier force, China’s nuclear submarines as well. There are reports that have failed Varyag modified, but also said Varyag is broken, this is the wrong guess, in fact, change has been nearly completed tile, but some special equipment not yet finalized how to choose, there is probably present for various reasons do not rush to let it complete.

All aspects of military technology China has a great breakthrough, aviation, aerospace, nuclear submarines have reached a very advanced level, is already the world leader in laser weapons, like the letter carrier will not be made not out. Today, China’s military strategy is shifting the carrier’s logo appeared on the transformation of China’s strategic real. Semi-finished and finished just half a step away, the Chinese aircraft carrier will soon be launching.

Taiwan, "Central News Agency," Zhang Qian cited in the latest issue of press in Canada, "Han and Defense Review," the report said, the mainland will be mass production of advanced missile frigate 054A, and plans on this basis, the development of more advanced, hot vertical 054B-type frigates fire missiles.

Taiwan press said that of the "Han Defense Review" reported as follows: to replace a large number of serving 053H series of guided missile frigates, the next 10 years, China will mass-produced 054 series, by the Guangzhou and Shanghai, responsible for manufacturing. It is reported that China has two Type 054 missile frigate.

Reports that, according to the magazine, "recently shot" to the image of Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard, the shipyard’s production plant being modified missile frigates; and the plant had built a 054-type (526) frigate. It is said that after transformation, plant extends about 10 meters out, so that the transformation of "may" is to cover the later plans to build the 054A, 054A of the hull to prevent exposed. It is said that one can see now Huangpu Shipyard hull number of frigates, but it is a 054A-type, "remains to be seen."

Han and earlier reported, 054A is a modified type 054, including installation assistance by the Russian missile vertical launcher design. With this transmitter, 054A will be equipped with newly developed HQ16 China Ship-to-air missile vertical launch. In addition, using the French frigate 054 S. E. M. T. PIELSTICK the 16PA6STC diesel engine, but China plans to use the 054A-type produced in diesel engines.

However, reports also point out that, 054A-type is already fixed, "is still hard to say," This must wait until the first batch of Type 054 frigate to observe the results of service and can work out. Han and defense on behalf of the chief editor Andrei Chang said in an interview recently, more advanced type 054A transmitter installed vertically, on the one hand can reduce the space occupied by the deck, on the other missile can be launched more quickly.

In fact, most of the development of the Chinese navy "concern" that the United States and Japan.

Frequently traveled to Somalia to escort shows that the Chinese new warships stood the test of complete

In 2009, Chinese military observers in the United States seems likely to the Chinese Navy "blue water" into the actual operational phase began, went to Somalia to escort to explain the problem, the Chinese navy’s development of increasingly attracted American attention. Reported in China, launched a new guided missile destroyers, the U.S. military who immediately organized a high degree of concern warship’s weapons and equipment. Commenting on the "Chinese Aegis" guided missile destroyers, the United States Naval Academy researchers published magazine article that "the 21st century, China is seeking to become a world power, her current military modernization is a part of this idea. China People’s Navy is looking for a larger and more modern fighting that battle in the blue water ships. "

On the basis of this concept in the United States is "concerned about" the Chinese Navy ships to engage in the construction of offshore operations. United States, "Washington Times" is repeatedly rendered, China officially put into production the first batch of an unknown number of new strategic nuclear submarine, the United States believes that the new submarine will be equipped with 16 missile launchers, one carrying 16 sub-guided This multiple-warhead submarine-launched ballistic missile submarines to hit 96 goals with the same combat capability. U.S. Naval War College expert, publicly declared that the U.S. Navy should not underestimate the challenge of China’s formation of a sufficient advantage of the ability of the Navy’s submarine force.

Japan on this issue is "not far behind." Japanese Defense Agency drafted in August 2005, "Japan’s 2005 Defense White Paper" will be the focus of attention as the Chinese Navy. "Japan’s 2005 Defense White Paper" referred to the continued growth of China’s military spending and military modernization in China, with particular reference to China in the field of nuclear and missile development. "White Paper" also said Japan is now China’s naval vessels are closely watching every move, and China in the East China Sea oil and gas field development project.

Chinese-made ships more than hearsay, United States, Japan and India are the real big shipbuilding

In fact, the China-made warships to say is not the first time. Cursory look at foreign media reports, can be found in many of the Chinese Navy shipbuilding plans, but basically it is just hearsay.

The end of 2008, the name of the United States, "Washington Post" published by the newspaper reporter Edward Cody returned from Shanghai a "explosive", "documentary report." Cody described in his article in Shanghai’s "seen and heard": In addition to press their own "observation", the article also cited "the views of foreign military experts" that only in the past 12 months, China began about 70 ships of the construction work, including a number of landing craft … … Ironically, this report, once published, immediately caught the public’s general question: how a foreign journalist to enter a high degree of confidentiality of Chinese warships construction plant, is suspected of espionage, or is made up; and now the facts have proven that 70 Chinese warships of the "large scale" after more than 2 years still no shadow!

February 2008, Japan’s "Sankei Shimbun" said, "newspaper on February 15 received the message, the Chinese Navy is secretly building a large-scale amphibious landing assault ship. The majority of landing craft space, not only can mount a large helicopter, transporting troops, loading landing craft air cushion, is also equipped with anti-aircraft missiles … … "" Sankei Shimbun "Then he falsely said that China is in for the new landing ship" situation in the Taiwan Strait "to prepare. Accordance with the "Sankei Shimbun," saying the Chinese air force fighter planes have frequently e the East China Sea near Japan gather intelligence, infiltrate the Chinese Navy submarine frequent so-called "median line." Or the ship is planning to secretly build the "landing ship" is the military containment of China Taiwan and Japan, the new weapons. Japan’s Defense Agency to take this stretch of the imagination, claiming that the new landing ship to ship, "the Japanese invasion of the island!" This message is based on speculation based on the parties immediately denied.

In fact, it touches the United States, Japan and India, the introduction of shipbuilding plan should alert:

United States, "Defense Daily" magazine in late 2005 revealed the U.S. Navy submitted to Congress the next 30 years planning the construction of part of 100 ships, the United States, "National Defense" magazine also published an article urging the U.S. to build the next fleet to provide adequate funding protection. U.S. Navy what the next 30 years toward the goal to become the focus of attention.

According to reports, the U.S. Navy’s top official responsible for arms procurement John Young said the Navy’s shipbuilding program consists of two programs: the 325 programs and 261 programs. In accordance with the 325 program, the U.S. Navy in 2035 will be compiled with 325 vessels, including 174 surface combat ships, 45 attack submarines and 14 ballistic missile submarines, 11 aircraft carriers, 24 warships and 57 large amphibious ships of other; in accordance with the 261 program, the U.S. Navy will prepare the future of 261 ships, including 130 surface combat ships, 41 attack submarines and 14 ballistic missile submarines, 11 aircraft carriers, 17 warships and 48 large amphibious ships other. Starting point for these two programs were designed in 2006, and its early development in the same direction. The difference is that, after the 325 program in 2019 will greatly increase the near-shore combat ship (LCS), a new destroyer (DD-X) and the new cruiser (CG-X) the number of such ships, together for the replacement of old vessels the number of new ships are expected to need to create about 100 warships.

According to the U.S. "The New York Times" reported that the U.S. has also revealed that senior Pentagon officials, the U.S. Navy plans as of 2020 the fleet increased to 313 the number of ships, this should be regarded as "potential adversary" of China and other countries.

Japan’s navy plans to present four convoy flagship, the 5,000-ton frigate to 1-ton large-scale missile destroyers, the "Atlas of Aegis" guided missile destroyers from the eight to 12 ships, and intends to 2015 -4 build two 30,000 ton class light aircraft carrier. At the same time, develop land transport ships, and they are being equipped with two 8900-ton and two 15,000 t-class transport ships, to replace the existing fleet of transport ships. The development of large transport ship Navy goal is to have 5-6 8900-ton transport ship, in order to achieve a transport an army battle group (an infantry regiment and the necessary artillery battalions, tanks and other attachment units, etc.) capabilities.

The south of China – India has also developed a large naval shipbuilding program, the reasons are "against theChinese warships."

Marine war risk higher than the land of China, strengthen the naval power is a priority

For the United States and Japan huge shipbuilding program, the various countries including China, can not but alert. Hong Kong "Ta Kung Pao," pointed out that China is facing in the direction of the military threats of marine and war risk, much higher than land-based orientation; and its defense capacity, well below the main security rivals. Experts suggest: China should be "sea-based," the direction of the sea as the main strategy for the eastern direction.

Expert analysis, marine direction (ie East, South to) the direction of the situation than the land (ie West, North to) severe, not only in Taiwan, South China Sea, the Diaoyu Islands and East China Sea continental shelf and other concerns China’s sovereignty and security, there are effects the overall situation in the region of the hot issue on the Korean peninsula. In order to effectively safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, we must increase the intensity of the marine defense capacity building. Meanwhile, China should be with Russia, India, Central Asia and other countries to strengthen cooperation and stable security environment in the direction of the land. To focus on the direction of response to maritime security challenges.

According to reports, U.S. and Japan will be held in joint military exercises this summer will be yellow tail fishing archipelago island of Lantau as the target, the artillery test. The US-Japan military exercise held in February, the region is very close to the Sino-Japanese dispute over the Diaoyu Islands waters serious, but also close to China is the East China Sea oil and gas development.

According to Japanese media reported in mid-March, before the Japanese Defense Agency is studying a "defend" the principle of the East China Sea oil field development, and its main content is in the so-called "air defense identification circle" of a naval vessel was attacked, the deployed ASDF fighters rush to the rescue. Japan’s Defense Agency said the plan is taken into account in the East China Sea issue at the outbreak may be due to chance in the "conflict."
