alert!Beauty invisible destroyers settled in Xitai for the first time and officially included in the Seventh Fleet

[Global Times Special Reporter Chenyang] The "Jumwalt" destroyer, which is known as the "Future Battleship", was officially included in the U.S. Navy Seventh Fleet in Japan. The U.S. "power" website said on the 21st that the U.S. Navy's heavily -built invisible destroyers chose the Asia -Pacific region for the first time overseas deployment, which shows the attention of the region. Expert analysis said that the U.S. Navy deployed the "Jumwalt" in the Western Pacific region, not only to strengthen the military deployment of the region, but also intentionally explore the special combat mode of this invisible destroyer.

Officially included in the Seventh Fleet

The US "Navy Intelligence" website stated on the 21st that the "Jumwalt" was officially compiled into the 71st Special Forces of the Seventh Fleet in the Japan -US Navy/the 15th destroyer. To this end, the ship departed from the San Diego Naval Base in the United States and visited the Guam Base for the first time. After a brief stay, it sailed again on the 19th, "continuing to carry out action to support the Indo -Pacific region of freedom and openness."

U.S. Navy spokesman Lieutenant Mark Langford stated in the statement that the "Jumwalt" destroyer is working under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Fleet in the United States, integrating it into the fleet operation, with other allies and partners in the area together Action is an important progress in the "Jumwalt" and the US Navy. He said that "'Jumwalt' class destroyer has maximized stealth, size, power, and computing power, and also deployed a series of weapons and cutting -edge technologies to fight against opponents of air, sea and underwater, and land. ","

The "Power" website said that since the launch of the water 6 years ago, the "Jumwalt" has been regularly trained between the San Diego naval base and the Pacific region. Before, it had been available to Hawaii and Alaska. "But none of these voyages were determined to be officially deployed. Therefore, the US Navy announced that the ship's" integration into the fleet combat "shows that it officially started its career in the seventh fleet."

The controversial "future warship"

The "Jumwalt" class destroyer has been highly hoped by the U.S. Navy, ready to use it as the absolute main battleship of the US Navy in the 21st century. At the beginning of the 21st century, the U.S. Navy believed that there were no other navies in the world that they had the ability to challenge their ocean control. The "" "" "" "" "" Both destroyers and coastal battleships are the products of this strategic transformation. Their common features are to highly strengthen radar invisible effects in the coastal areas, and highlight the ability to attack on the ground.

The "Jumwalt" class adopts the upper -layer building of wave -dressed design and internal tilt. All prominent parts are invisible. Even the gun cannon can be stored in the turret to minimize the radar reflection area. The U.S. Navy claims that such large surface warships with a displacement of 15,000 tons are "equivalent to a small fishing boat" on the radar screen. In addition, the "Jumwalt" class destroyer adopts a full -power promotion mode, which has a large power supply capacity, which is convenient for installing electromagnetic rail cannons and laser weapons in the future. Moreover, the work on the ship can be automated, saving half of the hands than other surface warships of the same scale.

Later, the United States felt that the Chinese and Russian Navy had developed too fast, and the Pentagon had to re -adjust the future battle direction to compete for ocean control. In this context, the "Jumwalt" class destroyer, which was originally planned to build 32 ships, was beaten into the Cold Palace. After several cuts, the U.S. Navy decided to build only 3 ships. Due to the need to share huge R & D expenses, the "Jumwalt" class destroyer's construction unit price of $ 4.3 billion is highly amazing, known as "one of the most failed ship designs of the U.S. Navy".

In recent years, the ship has frequently trapped various scandals. In 2016, the U.S. Navy canceled the "Jumwalt" class destroyer "Advanced Shipping System" long -range ground -to -ground attack shell project because the cost of each shells exceeded 800,000 US dollars. In 2021, when the "Jumwalt" entered the port, the rust of rusty ships caused public opinion uproar. The outside world questioned "Why did the future warships created by the US Navy? It is explained that the invisible material on the surface of the "Jumwalt" class of destroyers requires more maintenance, but due to the use of automated design, the shipholders have reduced their maintenance capabilities too much. This statement naturally triggered more controversy.

The combat capability that cannot be ignored

Chinese military experts interviewed by the Global Times said that although the outside world often ridiculed the "Jumwalt" class destroyer, in all fairness, the overall performance of the ship is still in the premier. The problem is basically solved, so we cannot take it lightly for its actual deployment. According to the U.S. Navy's plan, the "Jumwalt" class destroyer was selected as the earliest maritime launch platform equipped with hypersonic missiles. The ship's "advanced gun system" will be demolished in order to make a road for launching systems with larger vertical missiles in the installation size. The "Jumwalt" will be the first battleship to be modified. It is expected that the modification work will be completed in June 2024. The earliest "conventional instant blow" capabilities in 2025 have the ability to "conventional instant blows".

In addition, the three "Jumwalt" class destroyers were selected as members of the US Navy's "Water Development Squadron". This is an experimental naval unit. It was established in 2019. In addition to the "Jumwalt" class destroyer, a variety of unmanned surface ships in the U.S. Navy are also assigned to the unit. The "Power" website states that one of the main tasks of the "surface development squadron" is to evaluate the "Jumwalt" class destroyer most suitable in the fleet so that "the most advanced warships of the US navy can make full use of their capabilities" " Essence Experts said that most of the current ships of the Seventh Fleet in the United States are too old, and the more active "Barry", "Benford", "Milius", "Higgins" destroyer For the Century, after many years of high -intensity use, there are different degrees of aging problems. The addition of the "Jumwalt" destroyer can obviously strengthen the water surface combat capability of the seventh fleet. At the same time, the Pentagon believes that the PLA's "anti -intervention/regional refusal" strategy is forcing the main US Navy's main ship to stay away from the East Asian coast. The "Jumwalt" destroyer of the joint operation settled in Japan is likely to explore the specific combat methods.
