From assistant to the main force: 075 two attacks equipped with a J-15 incarnation of 40,000 tons of aircraft carriers, why not achieve it?

Recently, Japanese folk photography enthusiasts have taken the picture materials of the Japanese Maritime Self -Defense Force "Kaga" helicopter aircraft carrier. At present, the transformation of the "Kaga" and its sister ship "Izumo" is roughly the same. They are cut off the head of the ship and replaced the re -designed square ship to increase the available area in the first area of ​​the ship's first area. Essence Since in October 2021, the "Izumo" has completed the take-off test of the US-made F-35B vertical take-off and landing fighter, and also arrived at the U.S. Navy Pearl Harbor Military Base recently, indicating that Japan is already in the process of equipment aircraft carriers. It took an important step, only one foot away from the real aircraft carrier. In this atmosphere, domestic public opinion has once again discussed the plan for domestic 40,000 tons of 075 amphibious attack ships, and its results are also incredible.

Judging from the relevant information circulating on the Internet, some military enthusiasts put the skid deck set up by the domestic 001/002 aircraft carrier to the head of the 075 ship according to proportion, and completed it in a simple and rude "grafting" method. 075's aircraft carrier transformation, and immediately attracted strong interest in the outside world. As the result of the creation of the deposit CG, the "Grafting" version 075 obviously does not have any actual reference value, but this transformation on large warships to increase the sliding deck is not without precedent. In 1998, India reached an agreement with Russia to make a comprehensive transformation of the Russian Navy "Gorshkov", who retired due to fire, and then transferred to the Indian Navy. This is the famous Russian -Indian 40,000 tons of medium -sized aircraft carrier transactions.

In the outside world, the most well -known place in this transaction is to attract the entry into the bureau in the way of Russia with free presented aircraft carriers. Hurrying is unbearable. In fact, the "Gorshkov", as the "Kyiv" -class aircraft carrier 4 ship built by the Soviet Navy, still adheres to the construction of the "heavy -duty carrier cruiser" and deployed a large number of carrier -based weapons at the head of the ship and carried it on the head of the ship. It is also Jacques-38 vertical take-off and landing fighters. However, when the reconstruction was officially delivered in 2014, the "Gorshkov" not only renamed the "Vikra Martia", but also became a ship's head plus a slippery deck. The true skid -type aircraft carrier.

Judging from the performance of the aircraft carrier after joining the Indian Navy, this transformation does not have much problem in structure, which can ensure the basic use of the MiG-29K fixed wing carrier aircraft. Therefore, 075, which is equivalent to the "Vikhamatia", has the potential to transform into a 40,000 -ton skate carrier. Even due to the small area of ​​the flying deck and the low speed of the aircraft carrier, the cost of transformation is high, and the resources and time are very considerable, but this is only an economic problem, not a technical issue. In theory, once 40,000 tons of 075 transformed into an aircraft carrier, the single ship can be equipped with about 16 aircraft carrier-based aircraft, and the total number of vehicle capacity of more than 40 ships is assisted by the auxiliary of the vehicle direct-18Y helicopter early warning aircraft. Below, it is enough to become the core warship of small -scale naval battles, alleviating the embarrassing situation of the current lack of aircraft carriers in our country.

The only problem is that this is just the theoretical transformation solution. What is the actual transformation income? For this issue, look at the transformation of the US Navy's 45,000 tons of the "American" class amphibious attack ship. At the beginning of the 21st, the U.S. Navy's concept of "Lighting Carrier" was proposed in view of the reality of the construction cost and time of large aircraft carrier construction and time soaring, and the F-35B vertical take-off and landing fighter performance. To put it simply, it is to carry the F-35B into a scale on the new generation of the "American" class amphibious attack ship. The multi -purpose fighter can perform the positioning of air, sea/earth's various tasks, and is quite different.

After simulation, the U.S. Navy first completed improved projects such as changing gas turbines and expanding aviation maintenance regions on the "Hornet" class amphibious attack ship 8, and finally realized on the new generation of the "American". Judging from the results, the "America" ​​improved the layout of the top flight deck to increase the parking area of ​​the carrier-based aircraft, while reducing the space in the internal amphibious facilities and medical areas to ensure that the F-35B has enough maintenance hangar and logistics. Maintenance area. To this end, the "America" ​​even canceled the dock cabin to ensure the entry and exit of landing crafts. In fact, it has lost the landing performance of heavy equipment to transport ashore. After paying such a high price, the U.S. Navy was surprised to find in the real ship test that due to the simultaneous landing and the use of the aircraft carrier, the flight deck, ship island, and hangar of the "America" ​​were very awkward. The efficiency is far from comparable to the real aircraft carrier, and the limitations of the fixed -wing early warning aircraft cannot be equipped with a limited team combat effectiveness.

The most important thing is that the U.S. Marine Corps could not use the "America" ​​to carry the main battle tanks and infantry chariots through the "America". Therefore, the U.S. Navy finally restored the dock design on the "American" class 3, which made the real "lightning carrier" concept (single ship equipped with more than 20 F-35B). Auxiliary configuration of F-35B with carrier-based helicopter operations. As the current aircraft carrier's most experienced maritime power, the U.S. Navy is equipped with F-35B, the most suitable for amphibious attack ship carrier-based aircraft, and the transformation of the "Merido" amphibious attack ship still ended in failure. Very clearly showing the risks behind this seemingly simple transformation. ▲ The "America" ​​actually restores the positioning of amphibious attack ships based on helicopters

In fact, although countries such as Japan, Italy, Spain, although they are equipped with large warships positioning between amphibious attack ships and aircraft carriers, they do not expect too much about the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier after the transformation. Breakthroughs in related fields, or ensure technological development. As a major navy that shoulder important tasks, my country's navy has a high cost of transforming the aircraft carrier and not high, and it will also affect the amphibious landing operation. In fact, there is no need to perform similar transformations at all.

▲ 075 does not mean the meaning of transforming into an aircraft carrier in a short period of time

Of course, this is not to say that the domestic 075 series is destined to have been developing in the field of amphibious landing. Judging from the military conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Russia, and Ukraine, the influence of the use of advanced drones has become increasingly influenced, and the naval carrier -based aircraft sequence equipment drone is also a general trend. As a large -sized and considerable large -scale warship, amphibious attack ships have derived the function of drone carrier ships in the future, which is undoubtedly an ideal improvement method. From the perspective of technical routes, a domestic can be selected as a similarly improved verification model on active duty or the next batch of 075 construction. After the technology is mature, the "076" centered on drones as the core of the legend is built in batches. The type amphibious attack ship is an effective and bright road.
