If you can't fight China, you retire?The U.S. Navy will retire 39 warships in 9 months, and you need to be alert to selling it to the Taiwan army

A major problem in front of the US Navy in recent years is how to confront the Chinese Navy. Considering the strong warship equipment efficiency that the Chinese Navy has shown, the US Navy also hopes that it can get this treatment, but the US Congress has always been reluctant to approve the corresponding costs. According to the US Navy News Network, in order to better compete with the Chinese Navy, the U.S. Navy plans to retire 39 warships from October 31st to July 31, 2023. This retirement is very large, and it has even exceeded all the combat forces of some medium -sized navy.

In the top of the retired application list, 5 "Titanteroa" class missile cruisers are the CG-56 "St. Hindo", CG-57 "Shangpuland Lake", CG-52 "Bunker Mountain Mountain "Mobel Bay" and CG-69 "Vixorburg". The five "Titan Derooga" -class missile cruisers have served in 34 years, 34 years, 36, 35, and 30 years, and basically have reached normal retirement periods. If you are willing to pay more maintenance costs, the five missile cruisers can continue to serve. However, the U.S. Navy believes that the technical level of the five missile cruisers has been backward and cannot gain advantages in competition with the Chinese Navy, so they need to retire.

Behind the five "Titan Derooga"-class missile cruisers are all nine coastal battleships are all "free" class, namely: LCS-3 "Vosburg" and LCS-5 "Milwaukee" Number, LCS-7 "Detroit", LCS-9 "Little Stone City", LCS-11 "Sucheng", LCS-13 "Weichito", LCS-15 "Billis", LCS- 17 "Indianapolis", LCS-19 "St. Louis".

The US media itself has the wrong picture of LCS-15

It should be noted that the LCS-19 "San Louis" was just served in August 2020, but it will be retired in September 2023. The service time is only about 3 years. The reason why the U.S. Navy is anxious to retire these "free" coastal mito -class mortar battle ships, and even reaches the situation of the ship. Mainly, compared with the "independent" -class coastal battleship, this class is lower and lacks the potential for modification. The longer the service time, the more funds that the US Navy will waste on these nine "free" coach mito battleships, it is better to retire early.

Interestingly, the U.S. Navy originally intended to build 16 "freedom" -class coastal battleships, and even a few were still launching. The US Navy's response method is that if the order can be retreated, it will be retreated. If you ca n’t retreat, then you can store it directly to see if there are other countries or regions willing to take over these “freedom” class of coastal coastal battleships. After all, the combat demand of most countries in the world is not high. If the price is appropriate, the "free" -class coastal battleship can be modified to meet its use needs, and it has obtained the protection of the United States politically.

Among the remains of the US Navy's remaining ships, it is also worth noting that four "Whitby Island" class amphibious dock landing ships are more noteworthy. Its full -load displacement is higher than the current 071 amphibious dock landing ship currently in active Chinese Navy. A total of 8 ships were built in this class. The U.S. Navy plans to retire the LSD-42 "German City", LSD-44 "Gambon Hall", LSD-46 "Toltuga", LSD-48 "Ahlan". These four ships are basically more than 30 years of age, and they should indeed retire.

Finally, two "Los Angeles" class attack nuclear submarines are SSN-721 "Chicago" and SSN-722 "Kishte". It should be noted that these two "Los Angeles" -class attack nuclear submarines are equipped with 12 units of the "Tomahawk" cruise missiles, which have a strong ability to fight against land. The outside world believes that the US Navy mainly wants to take these two "Los Angeles" class attack nuclear submarines to bargain with the US Congress.

To be sure, the U.S. Congress may not agree to retire the 39 warships in 9 months. The focus of confrontation with the US Navy. In terms of comprehensive ship age, the bottom line of the US Congress should be around 23.

Although the U.S. Navy can achieve its goals to a certain extent, and get more places and funds for the construction of a new ship. However, correspondingly, the overall combat effectiveness of the US Navy is still adversely affected. In particular, the fleet of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier battle group will rely more on the "Alley Berke" class missile destroyer in the future.

Taiwan Navy "Kidd" class

It is particularly vigilant that the US Navy needs to prevent the U.S. Navy sold some retired wars to Taiwan Province, and continue to use the Taiwan Navy. After all, the "Kidd" and "Jiyang" levels currently equipped by the Taiwan Navy are from the United States. For the Taiwan Navy, which lacks medium and large surface combat ships, whether it is the "Titan Derooga" class missile cruiser or the "free" -class coach combat ship, it is a ship that is willing to buy.

Taiwan Navy "Jiyang" level

Although from the actual perspective, these American warships alone cannot change the status quo of the Taiwan Navy.But if this happens, it is equivalent to making the United States a "war wealth" by the Taiwan Strait issue.Therefore, we should completely prevent this situation.Picture source network, invading deletion.
