According to Xinhua News Agency, on July 28, the South Korean Navy's modern heavy industry shipbuilding group in Ulshan was DDG-995, the first large-scale destroyer KDX-III BATCH-II destroyer of the Korean Army, and held a launching ceremony.

At the launching ceremony, Kim Jianxi, the wife of South Korean President Yin Xiyue, personally cut off the rope connected to the king of Zhengzu.

According to the South Korean Navy, DDG-995 destroyer was named "King of Zhengzu" and commemorating the 18th century to lead Li's North Korea to realize the king of ZTE Li Yan.

For the South Korean Navy's "Kings of Zhengzu", according to South Korea reports, basically the ship's body size has been concentrated in the ship, improving the power of the ship and the water sound system, and the stronger pairing and pairing of the sea and pairing In terms of air combat performance. According to Korean netizens, the "king of Zhengzu" class destroyers must surpass the 055 large destroyer of the Chinese Navy in terms of tonnage and overall combat performance.

What is the performance of "King of Zhengzu"?

So, the "Kings of Zhengzu", the overall performance of its overall performance is compared to the "King Sejong King" class, and is it really as the Korean people expect, will the "king of Zhengzu" be the first destroyer in Asia?

Da Yifan feels that from the perspective of some system performance of the "king of Zhengzu", the performance of the ship's part of the performance, including the entire project, is remarkable, and it is even enough to attract our vigilance in individual fields. Let's talk about the system performance of "Zhengzu King". According to the information currently published, the Batch-II type that belongs to the "king of Zhengzu" does have some progress compared to the Batch-I type of "King Sejong":

First, in the size of the hull, the length of the "King of Zhengzu" is 4 meters longer than the "King Sejong", from 166 meters to 170 meters. The width of the entire ship has also increased the air load and full -load displacement. It is reported that the full -load displacement of the "Kings of Zhengzu" has reached 12,000 tons or even 13,000 tons. If this news is true, the hull tonnage of this type of ship cannot be underestimated.

Second, on the power system of the core part of the "Aegis" type destroyer, there is currently no news that the "Zhengzu King" is replaced by the new type of AN/SPY-6 carrier-based phase control radar. The core of the ship's core of the AN/SPY-1D type is relatively old. However, the "baseline" system as the back -end of the system and the naval ballistic missile defense system have improved.

It is reported that the "baseline" system version number of the "King of Zhengzu" has been raised from the "baseline 7.1" of "King Sejong" to a fairly advanced "baseline 9C". In addition to supporting the "Standard-2MR/ER" series of air defense missiles, the former only increases the ability to expand point defense missiles compatible with ESSM Block1, while the latter can support advanced RIM-after fusion with the navy standard LINK-4A/11 data chain. 174 "Standard-6" air defense missile, with the ability of navy cooperative warfare.

In addition, the sea -based anti -missile interception system (BMD) of the "Zhengzu King" has also been upgraded, and the version number of the BMD system has been upgraded to the most advanced BMD5.0CU. This version of the naval anti-missile interception system can support the advanced "standard-3Blockiia" series of sea-based anti-commissioned interception bombs to intercept medium and long-range ballistic missiles. All in all, the upgrades of the two main fire control systems on the "Zhengzu King" ship, especially the sea -based anti -missile interception system, means that after South Korea has previously introduced the U.S. military's Thaad's last high -altitude anti -boot interceptor, Now it has the ability to intercept the long -range ballistic missile in the mid -section of the sea base.

In the end, the "King of Zhengzu" is also adjusted compared to the "King Sejong" on the carrier -based martial arts system. We all know that the original "King Sejong" is equipped with 80 units of MK-41 vertical launch system, plus 48 units of K-VLS-I vertical launch system developed by South Korea. The former can only be used to fill the "standard" series of air defense missiles, and the latter can be used to fill in the "Xuanwu" series of cruise missiles and "Red Shark" anti -submarine missiles developed by South Korea. System, but the total number of drooping systems of these 128 units is also the capital of "King Sejong";

On the "King of Zhengzu", the number of vertical launch systems of these 128 units has declined, from 128 to 104, and the vertical system has changed from two sets to three sets. Among them, the US-made MK-41 vertical hair system has changed from 80 units to 64 units, and the K-VLS-I vertical launch system made from South Korea has also changed from 48 to 16. K-VLS-II vertical launch system.

We need to emphasize this K-VLS-II drooping system. What tactical missiles can this system currently bring in this system. Except for carrying land cruise missiles, this type of vertical system is most likely to carry in South Korea. The supersonic anti -ship missile does not even rule out that the "Xuanwu" series of tactical ballistic missiles can be carried. In the end, we must point out that the "Zhengzu King" class destroyer of the South Korean Navy is indeed a bit beyond imagination. The construction node of the ship currently found is the South Korean International Maritime Defense Industry Exhibition opened in Busan, South Korea in October 2019. At this exhibition, the South Korean Ministry of Defense Equipment Office officially issued 3 constructions to modern heavy work. Contract of KDX-III-Batchii-type destroyer. Specific board pre -processing and cutting may begin in February 2020. The early construction, including segmented construction, ended in October 2021. The keels of the "Zhengzu King" were officially laid in the month.

The construction process of the king of Zhengzu

After only 9 months of dock construction, the "Zhengzu King" was built into the water, and the construction was quite high. The Korean Navy estimated that the ship will deliver the Korean Navy's combat sequence in 2024, from signing the construction contract to joining to join The naval battle sequence, the total construction cycle is only about 5 years;

In contrast, the Chinese Navy's first 055 large -scale destroyer "Nanchang" ship began construction at the end of 2014. It was launched in June 2017 and officially served in January 2020. The construction cycle of the dock exceeds 1 year. year. At least in the construction progress, the destroyer of the "King of the Ancestor" is still very good. Da Ivan believes that the speed of this construction can be said to a certain extent show the strong strength of the Korean shipbuilding industry.

"Asia's No. 1 destroyer", does it have this ability?

After speaking, the advantages of the "King of Zhengzu", can it really compare with the Chinese Navy's 055 large destroyer, and even become the "Asian No. 1 destroyer"?

Dayan feels that the performance of the destroyer of the "King of Zhengzu" is really good, but it does not mean that its performance will not have any defects. In fact, if it is true, the "Zhengzu King" can be improved again, compared to the 055 type 055 type, compared to the 055 type type. Large destroyers are still inadequate. First of all, it is its "Aegis" system. The current "Zhengzu King" has a good performance on the "baseline 9C" and the navy anti -missile interception system (BMD), especially BMD capabilities. The current 055 large destroyer, temporarily temporarily temporarily No public news proves that it can intercept medium -range ballistic missiles.

However, the hardware equipment of the "Aegis" system of "Zhengzu" is really not good, especially when the U.S. "Berke III" destroyer is fully updating the AN/SPY-6 AMDR radar, this type ship is still AN/SPY-1D radar is largely limited to its performance upper limit to a large extent. At the same time, the gap between the large -scale active phase -controllers of the large -scale destroyer equipment of the 055 is far away, resulting in the performance potential of the ship is far less than our type 055 destroyer.

Secondly, the vertical launch system of "Zhengzu King" level. In fact, the vertical launch system of the KDX-III project is already a bit off at the Batch-I (that is, "King Sejong King" level). Of course, a MK-41 is K-VLS-I, and the main factor of the latter is the interface of the United States refusing to open the land cruise missile on the MK-41's combat management system. Domestic drooping cruise missiles;

At the "King of Zhengzu" level, the style of this painting is obviously a bit crooked, especially the practice of MK-41, K-VLS-I, K-VLS-II at the same time, not only weaken the "King of Zhengzu" The ability of the air defense operation of the class, and equipped three vertical launch systems with three different specifications on the same warship. If this style of painting is not remembered, it must be traced back to the Soviet Red Navy. The system's 1144 cruiser;

In contrast, the 055 large destroyer has completed the generalization of the vertical launch system, and the reserved design balance reserved by the famous "850 pits" is very sufficient. At present, it can be seen that the video of the hypersonic speed aircraft has been seen. What's more, our vertical launch system is developed by itself. Since it is developed by yourself, there will be no problem with the stuck neck. We will not look at the face of others. It will not give you a cruise missile without integrating cruise missiles. Therefore, on the important weapon system, the "King of the ancestor" class destroyer is somewhat helpless compared to our type 055 destroyer.

Of course, despite this, we must also admit that at least its tonnage is sufficient, and the main technical performance is really good, not to mention that it also has the ability to intercept the sea -based anti -missile interception.The Chinese Navy is not available for the time being.On the other hand, it seems that South Korea may further bind to the American ballistic missile defense network. After all, the four-sided An/SPY-1D radar of the "Zhengzu King" alone will definitely not provide the sea-based anti-missile interception bullets.Fire control guidance.To play all its combat effectiveness, the only way is to access the US military's anti-warning network in the Western Pacific, and even conduct data cross-linking with the AN/TPY-2 radar of the Luji, which seems to represent South Korea's further and the U.S. military.The ballistic missile defense system "binds".All in all, we will continue to pay attention to the situation of the South Korean Navy's "King of Zhengzu".
